We took a road trip up to Chesapeake City today for our anniversary. Across from the Chesapeake Inn where we had lunch is the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) field office for the C&D Canal. We enjoyed seeing this new ship there.

September 2019 monarch butterfly migration

One of the most vivid stories I know about her is about the moment of her arrest, when she was summoned to the convent parlour by the SS commandant who was rounding up the Jews in the area. He greeted her with the words ‘Heil, Hitler’, and she greeted him with what she said to her sisters every morning of her life: ‘Laudetur Jesus Christus’ (‘ Jesus Christ be praised’). There, you might say, are the two lordships in conflict in the 1930s; her response was once again in the form of a life making sense of a senseless and terrible world.
