Dune Divides Montauk’s Beaches, and Residents
A newly created 3,000-foot dune has people in the Long Island hamlet wondering if an effort to save the shore has instead destroyed it.Sand on the south shore migrates from east to west.
Montauk point is the beginning of this migration.
Montauk has run out of sand.
Whining will not change that.
When the artificial dune moves west the village will flood.

Wind Pushes Raging Alberta Blaze Back Toward Fort McMurray
New evacuations are in progress as the out-of-control blaze also appeared headed for two major oil sands projects north of the city."With the forests now burned, the earlier destruction provided Fort McMurray with a swath of protection. But the fire’s shift in direction to the north potentially jeopardized one residential neighborhood that had escaped destruction, Chad Morrison, Alberta’s wildfire service manager, said."
Rain will end the fire.

"
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
"
We are not there yet.
