Thank you, Professor.. the beauty of this photo evokes a sense that all “ is right with the world”. And while that is not true at this moment for many suffering, it holds promise in its beauty.
HCR, I thank you for being the anchor in a storm, and, tonight, you are a dream catcher. I didn't even know how much I wanted be on a boat to paradise. Thank you, Buddy, for this heavenly vision.
Thank you for your steady flow of solid information and insights into our government these days. It means a lot to have a trustworthy source. Mary Friedel-Hunt
This picture floods me with a deep gratitude for the beauty of the world. Thank you.
I read your observant, thoughtful, and informative pieces every day. You are a great political historian, grounding today's insanities in those of the past, generation after generation repeating the same dangerous delusions, bearing the same grudges and resentments. You have taught us, for example, that the Civil War never ended. It is gathering up steam as I write these words, dying to break out. Thank you for bringing so many current incidents and terrors back through the years to their origins. Yours is the voice I most trust, daily, on the state of the nation.
While the ice locks up our water we string our snowshoes anew to find deep drifts in which to sleep at night. Out of the 5 below under an insular snow come drifting dreams of drifting boats when the ice let’s go.
Glad you’re getting a moment of r&r. Great photo - thank Buddy.
I have to ask you, though, about the article on HuffPost about the home-school program for producing little Nazis and being proud of it. (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/home-school-nazis-telegram-dissident-saxon_n_63d596c4e4b01a43638e6a0a) How much of an outlier is this? There have been fascists in the U.S. all along, and obviously white supremacy is being promoted more blatantly these days than it has been since the first half of the 20th century. But actual schools?
Heather, while you are ‘seeing a little more of the world this week end,’ Buddy has transported me back to a tranquil past of an old-time, gaff-rigged schooner on a glittering sea.
It resurrects magical memories of cruising Maine on a Marconi-rigged schooner in the 1940s and stopping at Burnt Coat Cove to pick up a bushel basket of lobsters at $0.29/pound.
There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.
- Kenneth Grahame
Peace be with you, Heather and Buddy.

I spy a palm frond. The plot thickens.

Beautiful photo. That tree does not exist in Maine.
Great photo. I hope it means you are on a boat somewhere. We all need at least one day a week to rest. You work very hard. Thank you for what you do.

Don’t worry about being back at it for a pinch or two. Enjoy a moment without us in your mind. We’ll survive.
Good to take a night—or two!—off. You deserve rest and a beautiful sail to recharge.
You’re such a North Star for so many!
Along with this delicious capture of Ahhhh, here are wondrous words of achievement by many who are working on our behalf. https://chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com/p/extra-extra-129?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email It is Monday morning in my part of the world and it's feeling good. Sweet dreams to all back home.
Love the pic! Tell Buddy "thanks".

Those were the days.
