[FRIAM] Feed the birds (and grow some sunflowers)

[Steve Smith]

Cody -

Thanks, what an interesting twist....

Every spring I spread sunflower seeds over any fresh snow.   Most of 
them feed the birds (and other critters) but every summer I get 
sunflowers sprouting in places I didn't expect.   It seems like a good 
symbolic thing for Ukranians to do would be to spread a handful of seed 
for every Russian soldier killed (or even every death, Russian/Ukranian, 
Soldier/Citizen).   6 months from now it will be a reminder of what 
happened during this time.  Hopefully it will be more of a tragic memory 
than an ongoing tragedy by then.

I still haven't closed the loop with my Ukranian colleagues, though we 
haven't communicated in years at this point.   I suspect they are near 
some front or another shooting at russian invaders.   They are both in 
their 40s and vigorous in their chainsmokingly lean bodies, and very 
assertive in getting done whatever they believe needs to be done.  I 
don't know how representative they are of Ukranians in general, but if 
they are a model, then the reports we hear of the citizen-resistance are 
well founded.
