Drawing the Thin Red Line

 Note the following two recent additions to the Deaths in 2024 site;

• Edward Redliński (1 May 1940 – 11 July 2024) 84, novelist, Eddy ward red line ski
• Andrei Tarasenko (11 September 1968 – 11 July 2024) 55, Olympic hockey. And tar

Their birthdays have cryptic significance… and it’s big!!  We should investigate.  The “red line” in the name Redlinski is the first place to dig: 

The origin of the phrase in English traces back to the "Red Line Agreement" in 1928 between largest oil companies of Britain, the USA and France at the time of the end of the Ottoman Empire.

And then there’s this excerpt: 

the "thin red line", originates from reports of a red-coated Scottish regiment at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War

I’ve followed each lead and know that they play a part in the cryptic communication.  I’ll leave it to you to investigate further, … or you could ask me :-)(-: 

Note the definition: 

a recommended safety limit : the fastest, farthest, or highest point or degree considered safe

So where is the thin red line?!   

Others recently added generate a notable 17 th day pattern cluster… and note, my son in law’s birthday is April 17.
