The Antonov An-225 “Mriya”
It makes its own weather!
Gigantic freighter, with six turbofan engines and a wingspan of 290 feet, that was the Antonov An-225 "Mriya.” The dream.

Not to put too fine a point on it but Pope Francis insinuated the US under current leadership is “the construction site of hell,” in his Way of the Cross meditation.

It’s possible the Vatican truly believes this darkness must be addressed on its home turf.

Source: www.usccb.org/news/2025/ch...
ROME (CNS) -- Today's "builders of Babel" are constructing a hell on earth, rejecting everyone they decide are "losers," Pope Francis wrote in the meditations for the Way of the Cross. "Your way, Jesus, is the way of the Beatitudes. It does not crush, but cultivates, repairs and protects," the pope wrote for the nighttime ceremony April 18 in Rome's Colosseum. "Today's builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell," he wrote. "God's economy, on the other hand, does not kill, discard or crush. It is lowly, faithful to the earth."

Drewry: Global container volumes to drop 1% on Trump tariffs — Just third annual drop since 1979, via FreightWaves, by Stuart Chirls:

Source: www.freightwaves.com/news/drewry-...
President Donald Trump’s tariff war is expected to cut global container volume by 1% in 2025, Drewry said, only the third such forecast in its history. That would amount to approximately 1.8 million twenty-foot equivalent units based on worldwide container traffic of 183.2 million TEUs in 2024, and approximately 10% of the more than 10 million-TEU increase in global traffic from 2023. Volume fell 8.4% during the financial crisis of 2009 and 0.9% during the COVID pandemic of 2020, said Drewry, which began tracking container data in 1979.

I and the Village, by Marc Chagall
Vibrant colors and loose geometric composition depicts farming scenes from the artist’s childhood. A green man in a yellow robe and decorative pink billed hat holds a flowering plant in his hand. A blue, pink, white and red lamb has an image of a cow being milked on its cheek. A soft pink road flows across the canvas. A farmer in the distance walks with a scythe. A woman in a pale blue skirt is depicted, along with two houses in the distance, upside down on the road to the village. Colorful homes and church are in the horizon.

#1 Shy Peasant, by Ilya Repin
Shy Peasant, painted in Realism style by Ilya Repin in 1877. Against a green impressionistic background, a gaunt older man, with disheveled brown hair and an unruly greying beard, sits not quite straight on in the picture. He looks apprehensively at the viewer from sunken, piercing blue-green eyes. His skin looks weather worn. His mouth is closed. His expression is inscrutable. He is dressed multiple layers of earth-toned clothing, topped by a brown woolen coat which has seen better days.

The two wolves inside me.
Samantha Morton, as the formidable Serpent Queen, sits in an ornate black jacquard and lace gown with her hair ornately dressed, in a beautifully decorated room. She gazes that the observer with an unflinching, inscrutable expression. A little girl sits with her arms crossed over her bent knees in a lush meadow of green grass, dotted with tiny yellow and purple flowers. Her head is turned toward her beautiful chestnut brown colored horse with its black leather haltered head lowered near the opposite side of her, perhaps grazing, in a peaceful moment together.

I fueled my effort today with new gels from NeverSecond. I usually use SIS. My requirements are that gels aren’t too sweet and don’t upset my GI. The taste was pleasant and sat well on my gut. Perfect!

The C30+ gel has 30g of fast-absorbing carbs, 200mg of sodium and 75mg of caffeine. #trailrunning

Holy Compounded-Difficultly Workout, Batman!

Trail conditions were awful today. Ice, slush and mud made 6 miles feel like 15. Slipping and sliding turned the entire route into a strength workout. My post-run intensity trend: 193%. Tough slog, today.
