Is it just me, or is #NBC #WinterOlympics commentator Shaun White *incredibly* good at making the #OpeningCeremony all about him?

[Mary Bernthal @BernthalMary]

Agree. I kinda wanna keep this a secret.

AIRPORT REVIEW

Grand Rapids, MI (GRR)

A beautiful, clean airport. Security takes about 10 minutes and then once you’re through, it basically feels like one big lounge.

Ample seating, quiet, peaceful.

A census powwow? “Count” me in! A fascinating documentary podcast of one woman’s efforts to enumerate her tribal nation for the 2020 federal census. https://t.co/28TDPxPvOB #census #NativeAmericans #genealogy

So in two days it will be the 80th anniversary of D-Day. 80 years ago today Captain James Stagg gave the forecast that there would be enough of a break in the weather that June 6th would be good enough for a successful operation.

@HypersomniaNews Take one day at a time.

Since beginning #genealogy research, I’ve often thought it and wine were right next to one another in the universal spectrum of things, no?…DNA analysis, family trees, some common vocabulary. _Wine Grapes_ is, essentially, a genealogy of grapes.

Lapeer @LdLlibrary is receiving an historic newspapers digitization grant! My special trips to Lapeer & Lansing for day-long newspaper research binges on microfilm are numbered! (‘Tis bittersweet but exciting, nonetheless.)

I spent an hour scouring the Pottery Barn Outlet for the 70% off @GaylordArchival boxes. Two salespeople later, I learned “Gaylord Boxes” is PB code for bedding clearance bins 🤦🏼‍♀️. Figure my #genealogy friends will understand.

I WON this bike race in a thrilling contest back in the 80s. It was on the high school’s track. To everyone’s amazement, pedaling my banana seat two-wheeler, I overtook the lead on her ten-speed in the last quarter of the race. #Winning #Frankenmuth

[Frankenmuth Historical Association @MuthHistory]

Artifact(s) of the week! Did you know before Volkslaufe ever began in Frankenmuth, that the Jaycees hosted a children's bike race? These photos show children participating in the 1962 (Photo #1) and 1963 (Photo #2) Jaycee bike races. Does anyone have memories of competing??
