August 11, 2026

Days off have been thin on the ground in 2026 as the news comes at us like a firehose.

But I’ve been on the road all day and am too tired even to read the news, let alone put it into a coherent narrative. So tonight just magically became a picture night.

Here’s a fresh water image, for a change, from a late afternoon swim at a local pond with my nephew.

I’ll be back at it tomorrow.
