Tracing Polonium

     How does a sleuth track a shipment of polonium?  Very carefully.  But, somehow, a small amount traveled from eastern Europe(to include the federation east to the Urals) to the UK city of London, where not once, but twice, a small amount was delivered to a Russyan expat living where he thought he was beyond the reach of mad Vlad Ras-Putin.  Wrong.
     The details are public to a point, but the British government under PM David Cameron, have finally opened a formal investigation into the murder of Mr. Litvinenko.  It remains to be seen how long it will take to uncover all the facts, but, with the help of the FBI, CIA, MI6, Mossad, and some unnamed disaffected oligarchs, the truth will be made known.  I'm sure it is already known; it's just timing its release that is the issue.  So, when Mad Vlad is one shoulder away from the mat, the truth will lower the other one to complete the fall.
       Poor. poor Russyans: stuck with a dreamer hoping for a return to the old Czarist Russya.  He should read some history, any history.  He might learn from it.
     Snow will fall early next week over the Lake.
