I have to admit, I didn't understand much of this post. But, I plan to watch the video at the end – it's a 1 hour lecture about the octonion number system…

It's so sad how much we've given up in the fight on terror. Although this is a list based on America, there's an impact on us in the UK, and we've got our own scary laws as a result of the war.
In those cases when our government later learned it got the wrong guy, federal officials not only refused to apologize or compensate him, they went to court to argue he should be barred from using our courts to seek justice, and that the details of his abduction, torture, and detainment should be kept secret.
The things done to terror suspects is terrible, and even when we find they are innocent of the things they were suspected of, they have no recourse.

Interesting read. I've made it about half way through so far.

It's all over. We've made it back safe, and catching up on sleep (and the parts of the wedding we couldn't see from the front line).
Sorry the updates have been late. My mobile internet stopped working when too many iPhones gathered in one place.

The Lancaster bomber and 2 Spitfires were followed by 2 Typhoons with 2 Tornados, flying straight down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

They're on their way back to Buckingham Palace. I missed the happy couple, but did get the old couple – the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh. The carriages are lovely.

We can hear it over the speakers. Many are singing along to the hymns. The crowd is still growing.
