Paris is burning

Last night I read the news that the Notre Dame in Paris was burning, apparently it was 850 years old. Today I read an article about rich people offering millions to fix it.

The opposite of going with the flow

I'm more than certain that there's a quote that goes something like: It's easier to ride the wave than it is to resist the tide But there's a time for both of those things.
