@theaubreyiad.bsky.social Stephen contemplated the strong-box. It was an old-fashioned affair with a common tumbler lock and it would probably not resist his solicitations more than a few minutes; but this was neither the time nor the place to display his talents.

The music filled the great cabin, the one speaking to the other, both twining into one, the fiddle soaring alone: they were in the very heart of the intricate sound, the close lovely reasoning, and the ship and her burdens faded far, far from their minds.

Since Trump wants to annex Canada and make it a 51st state, perhaps Canada should allow the Blue States (the richest, healthiest, and best educated) to join Canada as Provinces. This would leave the sickest, most ignorant, and poorest states, and make Trump President of a "Lesser America".
