Hooray for you!!! So glad you are taking the night off! Thank you for sharing another beautiful image from Buddy! It will replace a prior image from Buddy that I've been using as my desktop background.

P.S. Congrats on being banned from Russia; you're in good company with Barack Obama and Stephen Colbert!👍🙂💜

I don't know when you actually sleep, given the very busy schedule you keep. May you be blessed with a wonderful, full night's slumber.

Rest well, Professor and friends. “It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

We can all benefit from clear minds, no matter political party.

You’ve earned a night off. Enjoy!

Heather has sleeplessly been raising a clarion call about President Biden’s commitment to maintain the ‘full faith and credit of the United States, while McCarthy has squiggled between a rock and a hard place driven by a compulsion to retain his speakership.

I was astonished that the online Sunday New York Times did not have a news item on the impending national debt crisis and the specious ‘negotiations’ between the McCarthy misfits and the Biden administration.

Heather, with her incredible insights and minimal sleep, has richly deserved a rare night off. The Sunday New York Times, with its massive professional staff, has not earned ‘a day off’ on a story that poses such financial risks domestically and globally.

Teach truthfully, do not blink, offer counseling to those suicidal. “Don’t Look Up” for extra credit.

Rough surfaces from top to bottom; natural designs of nature in the light; a strange beauty before my eyes opens this Sunday morning. Thank you Buddy Poland, the photographer who captured this scene and Heather Cox Richardson, the historian, teacher, author, and his wife, who chose to share this striking image with us.
