Basically, VZ has grandparents, their grandchildren, and their children everywhere making (3D printing) drones in their kitchens. Literally.

There's a huge network of components being made by the population. The redundancy of the manufacturing is baked in, and patriotism is unmatched. Ukrainians are committed to victory on a grand scale. It's incredible.

I was finally sent to see an ENT which gave me some hope, but what she gave me didn't help all that much. But it's something. And, of course, I'm bummed out like everybody else about what's happening in this country, but I know I'm not alone. Being on DU helps.

And I hope that things are improving in Western NC after those tragic floods. I think about that area a lot since I spent a lot of time there with my grandmother and I got to know so many of her friends, particularly those in the peace group she joined. Hope everything's okay with you as well.

But moving slowly for beloved WNC. At least I-40 is finally open. Full four-lane restoration is underway, but oversized loads are not allowed. It's still very much a construction zone. I think it's supposed to be fully restored by sometime in 2028. The tourists are trying to do their part. God bless everyone. TY for asking.

I'm fine. I was really busy during primary time here. I'm not sure how many years I have left for that. We've got to try and get ourselves out of the current predicament, though. So I can't quit just yet.

Lots happening on the farm. I found a wild berry patch today on the NE part of the field. The birds and the squirrels will take care of the fruit, I have all ideas. Right now, I'm listening to my owls and about to go to sleep. There's lots to be thankful for, that's for sure.

Take care of yourself, and thank you so much for everything you do. Love you, Rhi. ❤️ 👋

He also knows nothing about food preparation. If you are actually preparing food in your kitchen, you will not have room for a 3D printer - or any printer.

3D printing drone components in their homes anywhere that they can. No joke. I saw the documentary made about the incredible wartime efforts of the civilian population.
