Eighty years ago today my namesake died in France. Murdered as a POW by elements of the 12th Panzer Hitlerjugend, probably on the orders of General William Mohnke.

This is the story of that day. https://kiggavik.typepad.com/the_house_other_arctic_mu/2010/06/and-now-you-die.html

A grave marker amongst other graves in a commonwealth war graves cemetery. It reads “H. 41150 L/Cpl. C.D. KINES The Royal Winnipeg Rifles 8th June 1944 Age 29 In thought, faith In deed, courage In life, service In death, victory”

I have the inscription on his grave tattooed on my arm.

Siri took us on a long rural detour today. A nice change from the city driving but what the hell?

Eighty years! Eighty years ago the Allies landed in Normandy. Amongst them my cousin and namesake and his comrades in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, part of the first regiments to arrive on Juno Beach. They landed and fought their way inland. He had two days left to live.

Delilah Qapik Kines Amaaq. Welcome to the world. It’s a place filled with wonder and beauty. Always look at it through the eyes of the child.

You and I, we’re going to have adventures.

Boiling water and cutting up sheets. Not sure why but 🤷‍♂️.

@Woodswalked I am kidding. I grew up with this advice on tv shows. That and the fact that 200 cc’s of Ringers Lactate could solve any medical emergency.

@maikm You are not the first to make that assumption.

I learned today, from reading the obituary of Lorne Greene’s son, Charles, that Bonanza was filmed in Incline Village Nevada. Which got me reminiscing about a fellow from there who came up to LaRonge to disappear in the wild. It didn’t go as he had it drawn up.

Most of the walls I can insulate are insulated. Need to finish the area of the electrical panel. Next up, vapour barrier.

A little too sweet but overall not bad. If I do it over I’ll do a different streusel and cut down on sugar in general.

@Subumbral I must admit my wife and I make decent pie crusts.

Baking therapy. Cream cheese apple pie with a streusel topping.

Cool. After years of reading that it was planned, The Acolyte debuts next week. Stoked.

@brennen Slowly. As it warms I need to get at the bedroom addition.
