Cool morning. Front yesterday cooled the air in addition to dropping copious amounts of rain. Thanks to the rain, the ground was finally soft enough to enable planting of a shovel flag (2 of them, in fact!). Could have been a clean trifecta, but the owner of the 3rd flag continues to be #MIA.
5 Ruckers and 3 Runners took off for the traditional 610 Stomp route. Ruckers target 3 mile out and back, Runners target the 4.5 mile loop to Banks Street. And they are off….
FracSac, Tool and Rudy enjoyed the crisp air, and good conversations around the perils of buckling hardwood floors. Who knew that humidity could wreak such trouble! Finished back at the shovel flags to wrap up with Putins to Seal the Deal. Quick Count-off, Name-o-Rama and Triangle of Man for closing prayer. Thanks, guys!
Ruckers finished shortly after the runners had went on their way. Count-off, Name-o-Rama and a Pentagon of Man to close.
Good luck to the Ruckers this week!!!
All: It has been a long and contentious campaign season. YHC has dug through his memory banks and finds very few that have matched this in rancor and tone. YHC has been saddened at the number of conversations among friends and family that have devolved into bitterness and acrimony over the last many months. I hope and pray earnestly for unity and forgiveness – for the people I have hurt when I have let passions get the better of me. Disagree on proposals and plans of the party you consider the opposition. But stop and look at the human being you are speaking (or arguing) with and realize that they yearn as desperately as you for leadership, for a better economy and the benefits that it brings, for peace and harmony, for the improvement in conditions for all. Stop and consider the point of view and opinion of those you disagree with. Try to understand them, and in that understanding try to learn something that you hadn’t previously known. If you fail to understand today, try again tomorrow. And try again the next day. Let us live a life where we never stop seeking to understand those around us.
Proverbs 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Well said Rudy. Your Qs and backblasts never disappoint…and t-claps for incorporating words like copious and acrimony. Good to see that Notre Dame education going to use.
