“Tuesday Man by Stewart Stafford He was only a superhero on Tuesdays, And the rest of the time was his own, Tuesday was the villains' day of rest, Then crime sprees just like Al Capone. He tried to make his Tuesdays longer, By pulling some gruelling all-nighters, But he knew that to be more effective, He'd have to be a 7-day crime-fighter. So, he rearranged his calendar totally, To take the fight to all the baddies, He was on-call from then on, 24/7, Or relaxed playing golf with his caddy. © Stewart Stafford, 2022.

“Tuesday—we had school for the first time. Madame O’Malley had a moment of silence at the beginning of French class, a class that was always punctuated with long moments of silence, and then asked us how we were feeling. “Awful,” a girl said. “En français,” Madame O’Malley replied. “En français.”

“Tug or tow boats are vessels that push or pull other vessels such as barges, oil platforms, or disabled ships. They are also used to help maneuver larger ships that do not have the capability to do so for themselves, in tight quarters, rivers or in coming alongside piers. Obviously tugboats have powerful engines for their size and are sturdy enough to withstand high stress on their construction. The earlier tugboats had steam engines, however now they mostly have diesel engines. In addition many harbor tugs are been fitted with firefighting equipment allowing them to assist in firefighting. Harbor tugs that are highly maneuverable and used to assist ships in their docking procedure. Pusher tugs or notch tugs nest into the stern of specially designed barges. When locked together they are frequently considered ships and are required to show the navigational lights of a towing vessel pushing ahead or compliant with those required of ships. There are seagoing tugs that tow oil rigs, oceangoing barges etc. The US Navy frequently uses the larger seagoing tugs they identify as fleet tugs. River tugs are also referred to as towboats or push boats, depending on what they are called on to do, however they have a severely limited freeboard and are dangerous on open waters. The tasks tugboats undertake are varied and the list is endless. Tugboats help fight fires and in cold climates are sometimes used as icebreakers. A relatively new innovation for marine propulsion is the “Voith Schneider Propeller System” which is highly maneuverable, allowing the boat to change its direction instantly. This system is now widely used on harbor tugs.”

“Tugging at his collar to loosen it, he pushed at the half-open door and entered the room. Miss Hathaway stood near the doorway, waiting with tightly leashed impatience, while Merripen remained a dark presence in the corner. As Cam approached and looked into her upturned face, the panic dissolved in a curious rush of heat. Her blue eyes were smudged with faint lavender shadows, and her soft-looking lips were pressed into a tight seam. Her hair had been pulled back and pinned, dark and shining against her head. That scraped-back hair, the modest restrictive clothing, advertised her as a woman of inhibitions. A proper spinster. But nothing could have concealed her radiant will. She was … delicious. He wanted to unwrap her like a long-awaited gift. He wanted her vulnerable and naked beneath him, that soft mouth swollen from hard, deep kisses, her pale body flushed with desire.”

“Tugging at the ring, which remained stubbornly clamped on her finger, she glanced at Evie in despair. To her astonishment, Evie did not seem at all shocked or critical, but rather understanding. There was something in her face, a sort of tender gravity, that made Amelia think, No wonder Lord St. Vincent is besotted with her. "I think you're a capable young woman," Evie said, "who loves her siblings and bears a great deal of responsibility for them. I think that's a heavy burden for a woman to carry alone. I also think you have a gift for accepting people as they are. And Cam knows how rare that is.”

“tuhaf zamanlardayız sevgilim… gecenin bir yarısı kapıyı çalan ışığı öldürmeye geliyor. ışığı zulalamak en iyisi… ellerinde kanlı satır ve sopalarla köşe başlarını tutmuş kasaplar. tuhaf zamanlardayız sevgilim… dudaklardan gülmeleri kazıyorlar, ağızlardan şarkıları. neşeyi zulalamak en iyisi… zambakların ve leylakların ateşinde kanaryaları közlüyorlar. tuhaf zamanlardayız sevgilim… cenazemizde şölen yapıyor şeytan, kendinden geçmiş, zaferine kadeh kaldırıyor. tanrıyı zulalamak en iyisi…”

“Tuhaf şeyler zihin açıcıdır çünkü tuhaf bir şey gördüğümüzde hemen düşünmeye başlarız! Acayip olan her şey beynini çalıştırır; olağan her şey seni uyutur!”

“Tuhan adalah resultan dari absurdnya metode berpikir. Ia lahir di celah-celah ketidaktahuan, menjelma sebagai jawaban atas pertanyaan yang tak bisa dijawab oleh ilmu pengetahuan pada zamannya. Rigiditas ketuhanan adalah fosil dari ketakutan manusia pada kekacauan, pada kekosongan. Ia hidup dalam benak yang enggan bergerak, yang membatu dalam kejumudan. Tuhan, dalam bentuknya yang paling purba, bukanlah entitas yang dicari karena kasih, melainkan yang dipahat karena cemas. Ia bukan pencipta, tetapi ciptaan—oleh imajinasi, oleh trauma kolektif, oleh keterbatasan kognitif yang memerlukan makna.”
