Calm Balm

On March 6, 1853, exactly all of 550 passengers climbed safely onto the beach while fourteen chests of gold were salvaged as the S.S. Tennessee steamship broke itself apart.

On December 29, 2012, the landmark arch at Tennessee Cove collapsed, forever affecting a photographic landmark made popular for more than 150 years.

And seen here, January 19, 2015, few seemed even concerned and none much worse for wear.

Stuart Bedford Said Nothing (1985/2014)

Stuart Bedford Said Nothing

Stuart Bedford Said Nothing as his wife came out of the plane and into his arms.
Suddenly Stuart recognized an old friend. "Stan! Stan Goldsmith—how are you? I knew you'd turn up somewhere but what are you doing here?"
"I'm on vacation," Stan replied, looking at Stuart's wife. "This must be your lovely wife."
"Oh yes, this is my wife Audra. She's just returned from Chicago."
"Chicago? I just came in from Chicago. We must have been on the same plane—though I can't see how I wouldn't have noticed you."
Stan winked as Audra gave a short smile. She recognized him as the man who'd asked for a second meal over Denver.

Everyone was tired, as usual, everyone's eyes had grown heavy overnight, everyone was chilled, everyone's face was pale yellow, matching the color of the fog...Fyodor Dostoevsky: The Idiot
