The ship Wicko approaches the opened Cherry Street Bridge in downtown Toledo, OH. (Toledo, OH)
¶This never gets old for me, and I love that. I could watch ships come and go all day long. Arrivals and departures seem to be getting fewer and further between, though, as Winter approaches.

¶We’re all starting to wonder what holiday dinners will look like this Fall and Winter. Eating outside is best in light of COVID, but who knows what the weather will be like on Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had Pat and Denny over for dinner tonight and it felt like a little bit of a trial run. It was bit chilly out, so we lit a fire and ate around the firepit. Not bad, but I think we’re all hoping for a mild November. And December.

¶Indivisible.
Yet, hear we stand
Letting them divide us.
Left, right.
Black, white.
Rich, poor.
Some have realized the power derived from division.
The rest of us need to realize the power derived from unity.
Sure we have different views.
Different histories.
Different goals.
But all of us stand on common ground as Americans.
With a commitment to respectful debate and compromise.
That will bring us together.
That is indivisible.
