Ehlana and Ethan:
The last day of April included some showers, so Ethan and I were at the lab or archives after school; we had fun with that; and the game night at the Inn was our entertainment highlight of the day. We really don’t have much news to offer for our own story, and while we had fun today; our adventures were normal and uneventful. Let’s mention the rest of the normal from our day that included Tai Chi by the river before the rain; breakfast and dinner meals with Mom and Dad; and an hour of family business work and a Magi lesson in the office after the games at the Inn. We had a vid-chat with Cassie and Michael too, and they are now in Chicago and with Madelana and Stefan – though they were still in-transit from Madison to Chicago when we talked to them.
They had a good day in Madison and got a lot done; worked there until around eight o’clock; and then they hit the road for Chicago. We’ll have more on their news over the weekend, but while they are going to have some weekend play time with their friends too; they are going to do some work too that includes working with Madelana and Stefan that will transition two projects for them to take over for our family business. Yes, quite a few of Cassie’s college friends have work sent their way through our family business and charities, but Madelana and Stefan can and do handle very similar work as a team; and they keep in contact more-often than pretty much everyone else except for May and Lee.
Finally, for this report; let’s deal with the world news of the day. We really only need to advise that there hasn’t been any progress in fixing the biggest problems in the world. The peace diplomacy isn’t anything more than theatre; the threats against Iran continue and expectations are still for more war being most-likely. There was an interesting story out of Ukraine from one of their defense commanders, but we can’t confirm the truth of that story. The commander apparently claimed that more than half of the Ukrainian anti-drone defense teams haven’t managed to stop even a single Russian drone in the past year and only around twenty percent have stopped ten or more in the same time period. When you consider that those Russian drones are sent by the hundreds per day; that would suggest very low success rates for the overall Ukraine defense. There have been some reports recently about American hypersonic missiles being tested and possibly used against Iran too, but we don’t really pay much attention to that when the details seem to strongly suggest that ‘our’ tech in that area is well-behind what Russia, China, and other countries already have developed. Finally, there are more reports about high tech weapons being held back from use by Iran that they might use if the bombings resume, but we have no idea whether there is any truth to that story either.
That is enough for tonight. We want to get some sleep; and be back at full power for the first day of May and the start of the weekend. Stay tuned; and we’ll see what we can do about starting the new month out with more-exciting adventures that we can share with you over the next few days.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
