Maybe it's just me, but it sure feels like we could all use a night off.
Tonight's image comes from Peter Ralston, again. It's called "Holding Ground," and in case the boat at anchor in the rough water makes people worry, here's what Peter says about it:
“The title refers to those places where the bottom is good, where one’s boat will be safe and where the anchor or mooring will not drag,” and where, in the middle of a three-day storm, “you hope that all of the attention you’ve paid to your ground tackle will reward you with a boat still there in the morning.”
A perfect sentiment for America in December 2020.
See you tomorrow.

We're all praying our country's anchor to democracy holds, indeed!
As a quasi-amateur sailor I can not begin to describe how appropriate this image is and the comfort Dr. Richardson’s and Mr. Ralstons description is and the comfort it brings me. The comfort of natural chaos as opposed to man-made chaos. The sea is a profound place and time spent admiring her natural chaos is indeed time well spent. As always, my grateful thanks to Dr. Richardson, Mr. Ralston, Buddy and everyone here who join for the common good. Each and every day my mind is eased by the enlightened discourse here.
