In Maine they tell of an old man walking along the
beach with his grandson, who picked up each starfish
they passed and threw it back into the sea. “If I left
them up here,” the boy said, “they would dry up and die.
I’m saving their lives.”
“But,” protested the old man, “the beach goes on for
miles, and there are millions of starfish. What you are
doing won’t make any difference.”
The boy looked at the starfish in his hand, gently threw
it into the ocean, and answered: “It makes a difference
to this one.”
–President George Bush
Many thanks to y’all who have worked so diligently
to get the BB up and running again and continue
to “make a difference to this one.”
All the best,
