Braxton Wirthlin passed away from cancer. I copied and pasted this from Ruth Niles's newsletter: Our community suffered a tremendous loss last week when Braxton Wirthlin lost his battle with cancer. He was only 42 and left behind a wife (Melissa) and two small children. Father, husband, son, maker, and incredible friend to so many, Braxton was always willing to help, share, or lend a hand to anyone who needed it. As a gifted woodturner and maker, he inspired so many people and his joy and passion for the craft were evident to all who had the chance to interact with him. The woodturning community is both overcome with this loss, and overflowing with love for this man. Rest in Peace, Braxton. You are and will always be loved and your memory will be cherished forever. Carl Jacobson, in honor of Braxton, created this turning- Rick Turns list of last week's turning videos on YouTube- Safe turning and stay well

I went to the orange BBS for some stuff and asked for a veterans discount as I have for years. They told me I have to register at the service desk. In the past, I showed them my driver's license that has the word "Veteran" on it from previous verification with the DMV. The company has employed SheerID, a 3rd party verification service. You go online and enter your name, address, email, telephone number, birth date, and number of toes on your left foot. They call up your DD 214 which contains your SSN, and in 2-3 days, you're in. I refused enrollment. I have enough exposure to personal info from recent massive data breaches such as Equifax, OPM, and other retail stores. It is extremely difficult to remedy identity theft once it falls on you. The clerk was totally sympathetic, HD customer_care not at all. hat
