DannisWrites Reviews: Bill and the Whistling Death #koreanwar #contempor...

Bill and the Whistling Death, by Viktoria Fyodorova, @croodsgirl on #Wattpad, is a must-read!

A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots' Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. 

It is the well-written story of Bill and his struggle with his disabilities long after the war ended. I cried at many points in the book, which is a testimony of this talented author's way with words! 

Bill works at Patriot's Point Naval Museum, which I visited and loved many years ago.

Both my parents served in WWII in the Navy, so this story had a lot of meaning for me, though Bill flew his Corsair during the Korean War.

I love history, but this family-friendly story is for anyone who loved a grandparent. The interaction between Bill, his grown #adopted #daughter, and the #dog they happened to find as a stray will probably remind you of someone. The emotional journey is intense and real.

I'll be thinking about this story for a long time, and look forward to the sequel!

What I've Been Dealing With I formatted my C: drive, then I had password troubles, and during that, I migrated from Capacities back to Obsidian. It's been a crazy month!  Here's my chats with #CoPilot about migrating. I wanted to connect a local AI to Obsidian and Capacities doesn't let you. 🗂️ Can You Drag the Folders into Obsidian? ✅ What You Can Do - Drag and drop folders directly into your Obsidian vault (e.g., `C:\Obsidian`). - Obsidian will recognize `.md` (Markdown) files and folders immediately. - Folder structure will be preserved, and links between notes (if they’re in standard Markdown format) should still work. ⚠️  - Non-Markdown files (like `.json`, `.png`, `.pdf`) will be imported but not rendered as notes. You can still link to or embed them. - Internal links from Capacities might use a different format (e.g., `[[Note Title]]` vs. `[[note-title]]`). You may need to run a find-and-replace or use a plugin like Markdown Link Converter. - Tags and metadata m...
