"..European Commission

We #REPowerEU.

On 31 March the winter heating season ended, and our gas storages were over 58% full – the highest level on record at this time of year.

We have emerged from the past winters stronger than before, with greater energy security and solidarity, and a cleaner energy mix. 

And we must continue this path to support our citizens and industry, and our Ukrainian friends. .."

"..French astronomer Charles Messier died #OTD in 1817.

He is best known for his catalog, the Messier Catalog (contains 110 objects), which lists various astronomical objects, including nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Messier was primarily interested in comet hunting, and his catalog was created to help him and other astronomers differentiate between permanent celestial objects and comets, which could easily be mistaken for new discoveries.."

From her prepared remarks: “We all must understand who is to blame. It is the former president, Donald Trump. It is Donald Trump who, during his campaign in 2016, said women should be punished for seeking an abortion.”.."

FFL is highly trained. One of their guys came to Ft.Knox and beat our very best obstacle course time there by 60 %.
