Hilton Head Island: amazing x 4

I thank David for a link to this video of a kind man rescuing sea turtles from our debris.  The amount of net the one turtle swallowed is amazing.

I thank Dieter for a link to this video of the clearest images yet sent back from the surface of Mars.  That we are seeing photos taken on Mars is amazing.  A lot has changed during my lifetime.

Also amazing is the change around GANNET’s slip since the ferry boat was removed.  I biked down there yesterday morning.  The space is transformed.  It is now light and open.  Free and fresh.  I felt the south breeze where before there was a steel wall casting a deep shadow.  It is as though GANNET was at the bottom of a well and has been brought back to the surface.  Wonderful.

From an exceptional novel, NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON, by the Swiss writer, Peter Bieri, who writes under the pseudonym Pascal Mercier, which is far better than its title and I find was made into a film which I will try to view after I finish the book:

There were people who read and there were the others.  Whether you were a reader or a nonreader—it was quickly noted.  There was no greater distinction between people.  People were amazed when he asserted that and many shook their head at such crankiness.  But that’s how it was.  Gregorio knew it.  He knew it.
