Hehe. I like wot you did there. I'm over 3,500km for the year so far, no creative accounting here! Trying to bring 2025 home just over the 4,000 mark. Chop chop!

There is escalation between Washington and blue states like Illinois and California as Trump-backed paramilitaries enter into daily confrontations with people in major American cities and the US government enters a 4th week of shutdown.
Yet people still discuss US global power as if it is 1987.

I have thought that for a swimmer caught up in it, a strategy might be to let the tide take you around the corner into Killiney Bay, where it should lose force and spread out. Then coming ashore there should be easier. Obviously best to avoid the situation in the first place!
