Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid and he gives me courage." -Gandalf

A dirt path leads into a park with soccer nets and some oak trees on the right. The horizon is trees. The park is filled with a misty fog that is illuminated by the rising Golden sun one sun length above the horizon trees.

A screenshot of a weather dappled radar. A line of yellow and red stretches down the middle with greens and yellow filling out the storm. There's a blank spot in the green radiating in a line from the red spot away from the radar site in Chanhassen mn.

Image of text "The beauty of baseball is that it's not about a star or two," Ishbia told The Athletic's Brian Hamilton in September. "It's truly a team sport, and it's a team sport over a long period of time. It's a grind and it's a discipline. It's life. Life is the discipline of doing the same thing over and over again consistently. And that's what the long summer of baseball is all about."
Image of text: "As for winds, as the colder air arrives, lapse rates will remain very steep through the evening. Wind speeds at the top of the boundary layer will range from 45-52 kts, highest across western MN. These can be considered the expected peak surface gusts, with routine gusts about 5 kts lighter. Expanded the Wind Advisory eastward into WI after coordination with DLH and ARX. Some patchy blowing snow is likely in parts of west central MN where snow depth is greatest. The mixed boundary layer will keep temperatures from dropping too much tonight, but the elevated winds will maintain wind chills in the -10s through Thursday morning."

GIF of Four folks at a bar about to drink four shots from a ski. The ski is lifted to their mouths to take the shots in unison. The small blonde girl in the middle can't reach the ski as it is flipped to the taller people, and she is left with dark drink on her face. She chases it with beer anyway.
