heart, head, voice - Wade had it all. First met him covering Columbine - before 'school shooting' and 'mass shootings' were routine nightmares. Will miss him dearly. RIP brother Wade

"If we had more time, these guys would last longer." Foreign military trainers say they may only get 3 to 5 days to train Ukrainian conscripts before they are sent to front. US Army boot camp = 10 weeks. Pressure to send soldiers to front is intense @NPR npr.org/2023/03/27/116493541…

With 7.7" (19.5 cm) of #snow over the last day, '22/'23 has passed '82/'83 as the 2nd snowiest season (Oct 1 - Sept 30) since the CSSL was built in 1946! We now have a season total of 677" (56.4 feet, 17.2 m). Still far from #1 but we'll get closer over the next week. #CAwx

Spokesperson for 🇷🇺 foreign affairs ministry Zakharova said: "Russia bears no obligations on the decisions of ICC Rome Statute" All war criminals think they are above any courts or justice systems. But I am sure that Putin and his people will get their Nuremberg - or the Hague.
