[October 19, 2025] It’s been a few weeks since I posted a “Sunday Morning in Pictures” entry, so here it is. I get more views on these Sunday posts than on any other type.

[October 14, 2025] Eight peace deals in eight months. I’m sure that’s a world record, untouched by anyone. As I write this post at 9:00 PM Monday, October 13 (Columbus Day), we have seen the return of twenty hostages stolen from Israel over two years ago.
