Caturday!

 

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity. ~ William Butler Yeats

Leaving this morning, and if I'm smart I'll stay off the news sites for fourteen days.
