"He got up in the night and walked out and stood on the beach...Too black to see. Taste of salt on his lips. Waiting. Waiting. Then the small boom falling downshore. The seething hiss of it washing over the beach and drawing away again. He thought there could be deathships out there yet, drifting with their lolling rags of sail. Or life in the deep. Great squid propelling themselves over the floor of the sea in the cold darkness. Shuttling past like trains, eyes the size of saucers. And perhaps beyond those swells another man did walk...on the dead gray sands. Slept but a sea apart on another beach among the bitter ashes of the world..." ---Cormac McCarthy The Road 2006

Randy,

An excellent shot.....there is always time for a moment of reflection, even in war.

Thanks, Raymond.
