Leaving you tonight with a picture from one of our favorite places. It’s a bit hard to find from the land and always magical, as if it’s carved from the past. And, indeed, if anyone ever gets to watch the 1922 film The Seventh Day— which has the crazy unrealistic plot of a woman from away and a local Maine mariner falling in love— there is a scene shot from this very spot.
Will be back to work tomorrow.

You have to be the hardest-working historian/blogger in America, and we thank you for that. If the shift in mood lasts, it will be a glorious fall. My 75 year-old barber in a working-class neighborhood is a red-blooded conservative. However, this week, he said, unprovoked, Trump has lost it. We are going to lose, with no disparagement of Kamala. It is on the anniversary of Nixon's departure and the birth of my first child. An omen worth having.
