It's the full (almost) day of Yom Kippur and I wish a good Yom Kippur to all who observe it. Every day should be Teachers Day, and Do Something Nice Day; our teachers definitely do something nice every day and we should do something nice for teachers, although our schools are closed today. I cannot fully agree with the Sparks quote because words do definitely have a major impact, although they must be followed up with consistent actions. Dunedin will be a special port for many of us as it is the home of @erewhon and many of us have met them in person. Kale is ok but I'm not really a fan.

Thank you for the Hump Day report, Rich, and congratulations on getting the map up from the airport. Wishing you a safe, comfortable, and on time flight. Roy

@skybluewaters sunrise or sunset? Roy

Today's sunrise is from a 2003 land trip to Australia and New Zealand. On October 4 I visited Waikiki Beach on the way back home. Roy

@kochleffel is "Happy Yom Kippur appropriate to the solemnity of the occasion or is there something else? I do not know of a local name for the space between the sidewalk and the street. In my area the median is the space between lanes on a divided highway. @HAL4NOW those are tiny balls. Roy

Interesting that you had Duckpins in Maine. They have something of a spread on the East Coast, both Maine and Maryland (we have both Duckpin and Tenpin) but I never saw them in upstate New York. Roy

Wow. I should book a flight to your area. It's 45F (about 7C) now but only going up to a high of 51 (11C). And a miserable rain all day. Roy

Thank you for the Yom Kippur report, Rich. I'll pass on the Frappe but celebrate animals. I had a problem with golf, primarily a tendency to stand too close to the ball, especially AFTER I hit it. I like the Gibran quote. I have no idea what the meal is. My alternative is Chilled Cranberry Soup, Basil Crusted Veal Rack, and Ricota Raspberry Tart as served on MS Amsterdam October 4, 2017.

My first Pinnacle (2017) and first Signature (coming in November) are now docked together for HAL's final Juneau visit of the season. 7 days until Fort Lauderdale. Roy

I thought I heard a noisemaker. Roy

Very strange lighting today. Roy

Eurodam coming into view. Roy

Both BHB are in the channel. Roy

Wasn't it!. I really don't care much about football but the Ravens have been a great asset to the community both on and off the field and I really want to see them do well. That first half was so promising; I hope second half collapses will not be a hallmark of the season. Roy

Thank you for the Monday Report, Rich. I'll pass on both boyfriends day and the quote. I was something or a techie when I was working. Child health is critical with major implications to what adult health will look like. I think many of us have sad memories of Fremantle as the place many world cruises aborted, including Crystal Serenity, Amsterdam, and my QM2 world cruise. The meal sounds nice.

Sorry, I hope not an omen. I think you said 2 weeks and you returning 10/18 so while I had 10/3 as your starting date I reset it to 10/4. Wishing you a safe and ontime flight. @grapau27 is there a story behind St. Paul's Harvest Thanksgiving. I was thinking it might be the Thanksgiving date in the UK but see that is not the case. Roy

Thank you for the Sunday report, Rich. It looks like a miserable day here due to Ian's remnants but with no aftermath at least. Farm animals are vital (and I have cousins in Canada who keep them), Custodial workers are vital and likely overworked more than usual in the age of Covid, but I have never named a car. I love the Meyer quote, but have never been to Corfu. No idea what the meal is. My alternative is Chilled Blackberry Soup, Veal Parmigana, and Peach Crisp as served on MS Amsterdam October 2, 2017.
