    A real life James Bond dies

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45938874

    After the explosion, the men escaped into neighbouring Sweden by skiing 320km (200 miles) across Telemark - despite being chased by some 3,000 German soldiers.

    With a wry smile, Ronneberg described it as "the best skiing weekend I ever had".
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I was just about to say that this sounds like a story for a Hollywood movie - but they already made one in 1965, haha!

    We'll always be indebted to these normal folks who were tasked with achieving the extraordinary, in all forms and ranks of the military and resistance.
