I made my first train trip yesterday on the light rail from here to South Keys where I was meeting the train from the airport. My daughter made five trips back and forth in May/June to accomplish a number of items that needed to be done. Normally she has a quiet May after all the marking is done and then out kayaking every day that it is possible just for a brain refresher while getting into her research term. But this year there was just a lot to do culminated by her first PhD student completing her thesis defense and attaining the pinnacle of achievement in her chosen profession - a PhD. She has been on a lot of committees for PhD but this was her student that she was chair of her committee from day one and it was wonderful to see that happening even if from afar. Congratulations to her student for all her hard work. So yesterday I decided to meet her train at South Keys and I had not taken it to date. I walked to the bus as our train is not yet ready to function out this far. Then on to the train after the bus ride and change to the train to the South Keys line and there I was quite quickly actually waiting for the incoming train from the airport. She landed just a few stops before I reached South Keys so the wait there was just a few minutes. Worked very well and look forward to the completion of all the lines crisscrossing our city and out into the country. Ottawa is finally catching up with major world cities with our light rail. The ride was excellent and the views of the city spectacular as we moved along.
But it was a huge day around the world with so many happenings as Iran finally got what is coming to it - after all they killed nearly 100 Canadians (many children, women and men) when the plane they were on returning to Canada was shot down as it left Tehran all those years ago now. Iran is a Satanist country along with their sycophants Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Hamas has just shown their satanism when they murdered in cold blood the six members of the staff of the food group (Palestinian hires) that the US set up to deliver food in Gaza. Hamas does not realize their time is past; they have spent these last twenty years grooming the population of Gaza to die for their satanic cause and it is ending finally one prays as these people realize there is more to life than hatred of Israel. Hamas is using this fear tactic to try to bring the Palestinians back under their control. It mustn't happen - Hamas must go from Gaza. The Palestinians for three to four generations has been in this hate mode and they murdered Jewish children in the school yards when I was a child. The world needs to be free of Satanism and that includes Russia attacking the free independent country of Ukraine which is into its third year. The Russian ignorance goes on and on and they too are Satanists unless they get rid of Putin and his adherents all of whom are Satanists. There is hope for Russia if they just rid themselves of these ignorant savage satanists that lead their government. Satan always comes with sick promises hoping to lure away the honest good people of the world. One must be wary.
Prayers continuing for all the lives lost in the crash of the plane in India yesterday both in the plane and on the ground. How sad for India and the countries that all these people belonged to including one from Canada who will be very missed I am sure.
Some work done on the matches yesterday and I have begun the process of looking at the matching data between siblings at Living DNA to compare it with the data from Gedmatch and 23 and Me that I have used for phasing in the Past. I have a different population in the Living DNA results - one that better compares to my actual results as I am 100% English descent in the last six generations at least with Scot and Irish working their ways in earlier and in the 1400s French Huguenot some of which show endogamy with my matches which I knew would be there in both sides of my family particularly in the Routledge (Scot Highlander) and the Knight families in the modern era and Blake (two distinct lines back into the 1500s and likely into the 1300s) from earlier times which does show up surprisingly in American colonial lines as a few Blake members came to the American colonies very early on. Having the five siblings makes it a lot easier process and so many 3rd cousins have tested over time. Would love to have more 2nd cousin results but testing is a personal thing so I do not ask anyone particularly to test although I will mention it to them especially if they ask about it. However the endogamy in the lines is very particularly situated and exists back in the 3x great grandparents lines particularly so that the pieces that come down may sometimes be large and sticky with two different Knight pieces coming together in particular. So the work continues but when I do do the genealogy of the Blake and Pincombe families I want it to be as accurate as possible. I worked pages 5 to 8 of my matches to extract the 2 segments and 1 segment people that I had not yet looked at and I am up to 102 new matches now to insert into my database along with the perhaps 20 existing matches that I updated with the Living DNA results (people who had tested at other companies earlier). Not that many really most of the testers appear to be new tests that are matching us.
I do need to put the revised version of the original Siderfin book into the repositories as I discovered some errors when my eyes had cleared from surgery and I need to upload the Charting book for Siderfin. A few tasks to get caught up on as this time has passed quickly the past year since I completed the books. It is nearly six months since I started writing the Blake and Pincombe books. Today I must finish the Pincombe Newsletter - it is very late this month. Other than that the gardening is constantly in my mind but my love of gardening is very slight - the flowers are lovely but I love wild flowers too and they do not need my help!
Drinking my tea and solitaire games to play. The day is a little late starting but will be a sunny one. Perhaps kayaking and walking - we will see. The air quality is 39 today. It is 11 degrees celsius and it has been a cold June here but that hasn't kept the forest fires down but the rain is finally helping with that.
