***AND RE: SARCONE: The Justice Department said Friday it plans to take a dispute over the authority of a top federal prosecutor in New York to the Supreme Court after an appeals court upheld his disqualification from investigations involving state Attorney General Letitia James.  The Justice Department stated it will appeal a 2-1 Second Circuit ruling to the Supreme Court regarding the authority of an unconfirmed acting U.S. Attorney, according to a statement posted by the DOJ. While the DOJ has announced its intent, it has not yet filed the formal Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which will be accessible via the Supreme Court docket. Information regarding the case can be tracked via the Second Circuit, and you can view the Supreme Court docket for future filings.

A reader writes: Back in the late 1970's, my late cousin entered some sort of local fireman's drawing(???) contest that I have been wracking my brains trying to remember.  We went to Elliott's for the oaktag and markers. Can you help?

Response: You MAY mean this from 1979; THE SAFETY POSTER/ESSAY CONTEST; go to EverythingCroton: WINNERS OF THE 1979 CROTON FIRE DEPARTMENT SAFETY POSTER/ESSAY CONTEST

BIG TOLKIEN FANS HERE!

We watched the film again last night and so when this ended up in the Saturday email, just had to share:

This quietly powerful statement comes from “The Fellowship of the Ring,” spoken by Gandalf as he reassures the elf Erestor during a moment of fear and uncertainty. J.R.R. Tolkien, a veteran of World War I and a devout Catholic, wove the upheavals of the 20th century and his personal experiences with loss, endurance, and faith into stories that grapple with the tension between darkness and courage. This line reflects his belief that even in the bleakest moments, we can’t claim to know how things will end. For Tolkien, despair is not just sadness, but a kind of arrogance — the false certainty that we can predict the future and know all hope is gone. His words here gently push back against that instinct, reminding us that as long as the future remains unwritten, there's still plenty of room for resilience and hope. MORE AT Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. - Inspiring Quotes
