The intense clarity of the morning sky here on the Island yesterday reminded me of that moment in American history that changed everything on Sept. 11, 2001. On this 23rd anniversary, at 8 am, about the time the first plane struck the towers, I was waiting for a call from Kenneth Feinberg, who lives in Lambert’s Cove, and who knows as much as anyone about what America lost that day. Back then in 2001, just like the glorious weather we had yesterday, there was a perfect cobalt blue sky and pleasant…

July 28 – August 20, 2024; 15547 nm and 1979 days after departure from La Rochelle Since last October our big goal was to get to Maine to explore the whole beauty of the east coast.

The film, as enigmatic as Huppert, unfolds calmly with a modern, spare, Japanese aesthetic, with inflections of lively comic…
Heard on Main Street: Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else. There is something so special about the first day of school. But I remember those of my children more clearly than any of my own. One year my daughter was going into eighth grade. She had worn jeans to school for a few years, since she had a teacher who wore slacks to school. The preceding summer we planned a family trip to visit relatives in England. My husband knew their girls did not wear jeans, so insisted…

What a rainstorm we had last Monday. I don’t ever remember rain like that. Mike thought we had about 3 inches, but I have heard other people reporting over 5. Puddles along the roads sprayed water into the air as cars passed through. We were grateful it didn’t happen until after the fair. The rain cooled the air and lowered the humidity. It was lovely to be cool, to open our windows, to want a blanket at night. No sweater yet, but shirtsleeves are definitely OK.…

To the Editor: Today, I drove through Five Corners in V.H., and as I passed in front of the Times office, a giant plume of smoke appeared from under my hood, and my car went DEAD in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Apparently my radiator hose had blown clean off. As there was a great deal of traffic, I jumped out to try and push the car to the side of the road. Total strangers stepped up to help without question. The whole scene looked like it could have been a car fire to…

Climate change stands out as the greatest current threat to biodiversity. But when discussing nature, it’s axiomatic that no matter how dire a threat, some species manage to benefit from the changing conditions. A recent spate of Vineyard sightings of a formerly rare butterfly illustrates this counterintuitive twist. Already this August, the Island has produced 16 reports of red-banded hairstreak, Calycopis cecrops. For a species unrecorded on the Vineyard until 2016 and absent from all of Massachusetts…
