I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

I never noticed this old tree stump in the woods until the other day.
But that's how it is here. Even after getting on for 17 years living with a wild rainforest ecosystem, I still frequently make new discoveries.
And I suspect it will always be so, for the rest of my days.

"Justice," she said. " I've heard that word. It's a cold world. I tried it out," she said, still speaking in that low voice. "I wrote it down. I wrote it down several times and always it looked like a damn cold lie to me.
There is no justice."

Offline, I've been asked why the Dark Ages isn't an appropriate term for the Early Medieval period. Bottom line, you'd be hard pressed to make something as stunning as the Alfred Jewel if you couldn't see what you were doing. End of. www.ashmolean.org/alfred-jewel
ALFRED JEWEL
The Alfred Jewel is a masterpiece of goldsmith's work formed around a tear-shaped slice of rock crystal. Its inscription: AELFRED MEC HEHT GEWYRCAN – 'Alfred ordered me to be made’ – connects the jewe...

Why would anyone want to do that?
Sure, vomiting is allowed (but discouraged), according to the rules of this ultramarathon. Each participant must run to nine Taco Bells scattered across Virginia and D.C. At each location, they must purchase and eat an item off the menu. Drinks don’t count.

Puking is discouraged, but allowed. Pepto-Bismol is not.

The Chinle Formation is unmistakable. In other areas - near Capitol Reef, for example - it contains quantities of petrified wood. I've seen entire petrified logs in that region. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday!

Over twenty years ago when I could move within a wheelchair, I stepped out to do a morning market to sell my photos and saw this. I grabbed my film camera and took this photo.
