or, the Assault sub.

and (belatedly) E pluribus unum also comes to mind.

guessing they know something you don't... very nice, caught this at random :)

good title.

can't help but recall the outrage at Rachel Cusk's very thoughtful A Life's Work, On Becoming a Mother (2001).

clicked out of curiosity about their stated rationale :
“Wasteful, wind projects are using resources that could otherwise go towards revitalizing America’s maritime industry,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement.
that’s it? that’s the reason? pretty thin.

it works :) and thank you so much. ferreteria... 7th and Union Hardware recalls long-gone Union Wholesale Hardware... my father was a salesman for a while... www.flickr.com/photos/asfal...
thank you so much !
will consider subscribing, though I live 3,000 miles away from hometown Eagle Rock !

p.p.s., alas, onerous loops to actually see the article, so I bailed.

p.s., I don't know the owner's politics, and don't care. it's a good store, they know stuff, and respect their customers.
Home Depot half a mile away, still the customers come.

consider the two hardware stores, different politics, portrayed in Richard Marius, his two novels An Affair of Honor and After the War
(Knopf, 2001 and 1992, respectively), described in my list of hardware stores in fiction : jmcvey.net/hdwe/fiction...

big fan of Coolidge Hardware, within walking distance (while I'm still ambulatory) in Watertown Mass. coolidgehardware.com

ten Hail Mary's, and one Our Father...

wondering too if the Coast Guard's budget priorities have shifted to a narrower ICE-bound idea of "homeland security." buoys have no place in that picture.

the rationale for doing away with those buoys seemed so thin, threadbare.

absolutement !

wondered if John Stilgoe, his Alongshore (1994) or maybe something else, would be mentioned in that article, but no.
hated the Coast Guard's dismissal of the buoys as "aesthetic," nostalgic... expensive to maintain... but what do I know.
