\\xa0 We want to thank people for their donations to and kind words for the people of Ukraine. The response has been heartening and the personal stories some of you included were touching. Over 1.5 million people have left Ukraine so far,, ~5% of the population.

A loyal listener from Canada pointed out that there are more Ukrainians in Canada than USA\\xa0 =1.4M v 1M in US. Canada has opened its borders for the ukrainian refugees. The US has yet to do this but has extended the visas for Ukrainians in the US.

Heard from a Russian listener who said the Russian people are"scared shitless." They\\xa0 don\\u2019t know what news to believe, so much propaganda\\xa0 He\\u2019s an IT guy so pretty savvy.\\xa0 Here\\u2019s a quote from one of his letters:
Anyway, if I'm going to be arrested, for me it's a way to a free world, as a fugitive of some sort.
\\xa0Your support, support from people of the world -- that's important, thank you.

\\xa0Rosie from Scotland sent me a video of Peace Train, the Cat Stevens song, sung by an international collection of singers. Very nice, seems like something we need.

Rosie also sent us two of her poetic interpretations\\xa0 whereby she would watch short silent\\xa0 video clips created by another artist and create audiovisual poetry. Here's a\\xa0 a link to the website. One is titled BLUE and the other is Infinitude.\\xa0 Spend two minutes of your time with these.

OK, we need to destress a bit. Whudda thunk Del's trip to the dentist would be a destressor? The Bucks share this gratis. That means this is an unpaid testimonial.

Del relate a psychological test he thinks he passed with flying colors. Don't ask the dog.

Del and Dave start new books. That's all we know so far.

Dave sold a bike \\u2026.. Parted with his beloved Co-Motion touring bike. Here\\u2019s to middle-aged buckRandy., the new owner. Interesting aside-his partner, whom he characterized as the love of his life,\\xa0 grew up mostly in Ulm, Germany-about 30 miles from where Dave's wife lived. Her family had fled Romania during the\\xa0 Ceacescu regime; a theme being duplicated by millions today.

You can still donate money to Ukrainian refugee support. Pick a charity from this list in the Washington Post. \\xa0

PEACE
