> There is no Tomorrow [A question from a young mind] They repeatedly say, "Tomorrow, tomorrow." I ask them, "When does it come?" And they reply, "When it dawns, tomorrow comes." I search for the new day myself. When I awake and look around I find no tomorrow. Rather I find the today that has already come. My folks! There is no tomorrow.

I'm chasing sub 3 hours #Marathon within 1-2 years time. To my estimations I have about a 60% chance of achieving this goal.
Why am I doing it? The simple answer is "challenge". I like to challenge myself, I enjoy working hard towards a goal no matter how far reaching it is. But the real reason is that, I found peace in running, in its solitary, it's my way of meditation.
If you are into #running, let's connect, I love to hear your stories and learn from others mistakes 😁 and achievements.
Feds withdraw funding notice just before hearing
"Huang said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had withdrawn the notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for the Continuum of Care program less than 90 minutes before a court hearing on both suits before District Court judge Mary S. McElroy in Rhode Island Monday. Cambridge city solicitor Megan Bayer told councillors that the judge “was very displeased with this last-minute change from the federal government, and specifically commented on how she worked all weekend to prepare for this hearing, and knows that plaintiff’s attorneys worked many hours, and she does not appreciate these shenanigans from the federal government.”

> K.’s stubborn singleness of purpose, however, opens the eyes of some of the villagers; his behavior teaches them that human rights may be worth fighting for, that the rule of the Castle is not divine law and, consequently, can be attacked. He makes them see, as they put it, that “men who suffered our kind of experiences, who are beset by our kind of fear … who tremble at every knock at the door, cannot see things straight.” And they add: “How lucky are we that you came to us!” The fight of the stranger, however, had no other result than his being an example. His struggle ends with a death of exhaustion—a perfectly natural death. But since he, unlike the K. of The Trial, did not submit to what appeared as necessity, there is no shame to outlive him.
