Fog on the Gunpowder river in Baltimore
Today, my grandson sent me this beautiful picture of fog on the Gunpowder river in Baltimore. The water in the river is very cold and is reacting with the extremely hot air. It is very hot in Baltimore at present.
The Gunpowder river is where my Granson enjoys fly fishing.
Enjoy.
What keeps a train on the tracks going round a bend?
Do you think it is the flanges on the wheels? Sorry, not right! Ok, it must be a differential. Sorry, not right again!

Has 2020 Changed Your Assumptions?
Has 2020 been a year in which your basic assumptions have been challenged? Have your basic assumptions changed about yourself and the planet in which we live? My guess is they have – for you and for millions of people all over the world. Are you disturbed by what has happened in 2020? Should you be?
Dr. Ian McCallum of Port Elizabeth, South Africa has written about these challenges to our assumptions in a very important “must read” article.

Dr. McCallum is a psychiatrist, psychologist, award winning author and poet. He is an adjunct professor at the Nelson Mandela Graduate School of Business in Port Elizabeth. He is also an honorary lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cape Town. In his youth he was a Springbok Rugby player (he represented South Africa).
Thank you.

A lesson from the Bay – The Covid19 storm will pass in due season
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecclesiastes 3: 3 & 4
Sometimes the Bay is lashed by storms.
Sometimes the Bay is calm.
