"Although all cat games have their rules and rituals, these vary with the individual player. The cat, of course, never breaks a rule. If it does not follow precedent, that simply means it has created a new rule and it is up to you to learn it quickly if you want the game to continue." ~Sidney Denham
"Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them." ~Jim Davis

We stood there for 1/2 an hour, and we could watch Ship Creek break up, as well as hear it. There would be a loud crack, and we could see fissures develop, and chunks of ice break off and float down Ship Creek.
Saw this rolled up on the driveway next door. Since no one actually lives there my dad went over to pick it up. He thought it was just some trash that was blown in from somewhere. Heh instead its a break-up letter that looks like a 10 year old wrote it.
Steve, whoever you are, be a man a break-up face to face.
The crossed out "love" is such a nice touch.
Breakup describes the feeling when of suddenly being left after a longtime relationship (such as marriage) without being given any explanation or the opportunity to make things right. It is the ultimate state of helplessness, deprived of any power to change this one-sided decision.

Can you imagine, if such a little river such as Ship Creek were like this, what it must be like on the Yukon or the Kuskokwim?

Green Mountain (w/ Flat Irons) and Bear Peak in the background as a fast moving thunderstorms starts to break up and move east. The sun is highlighting the still falling rain on Bear Peak in the background. A little sunbeam action adds to the interest.
I don't know why I felt compelled to photograph myself at that moment.
I had just told my girlfriend, who was also my best friend, that I thought we should see other people. She was very upset. I was in the grip of heavy guilt.
It worked out for both of us.
A book that confronted me as I stepped into the library... I can't even read a book like this, but I thought it was poignant.
I have read and heard stories about the noise of the Yukon being almost deafening, and huge pieces of ice being thrown onto the beach, sometimes crushing unwary campers.

The storms that had socked us in at Granite Park Chalet lifted and broke up Thursday evening.

This is the front of a breakup(ish) note that I found in the front parking lot of the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA. Sorry, James. Hope you worked it out.
Edited Landsat 8 image of the breakup of the large iceberg that just split away from the Larsen C ice shelf.

Original caption: When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That’s the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean’s battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.
In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg’s motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg’s north end and the ice shelf to fracture.
“The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn,” said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.
So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica’s austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for “seeing” the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.
The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.
All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.
In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.
