I'm sending my best wishes northward towards WalterEgo, as today is my little brother's birthday. I'm three-plus years older than him, so I guess that makes him 25 today? It's also VE Day, commemorating the end of World War II in Europe 80 years ago today. There's news that this is now a national holiday, but that apparently has nothing to do with an actual federal holiday. The end of the war was a long time ago, so it doesn't seem likely to become one.

Victorious Round-up
Thanks Ant, Neutronbeam, and Max.
