The Point Reyes peninsula (north and west of San Francisco) is gorgeous! Here's a photo from a very, very windy evening at Drake's Beach. View it larger and you'll see the sand being swept across the beach by the wind!

For #MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday and #WaybackWednesday 😅 since this is from May 2013... sheesh that was 13 years ago... 😳

#WaybackWednesday From The Reporters Inc's archives: Sworn to serve and protect, police officers are taught that any weakness could put their lives, and the lives of others, at risk on the job. Yet every year in the U.S., more police officers die by suicide than on duty. In her 2015 book “Public Safety Suicide: The Human Dimension,” Mary Van Haute details how Illinois police officer Chris Prochut's mental health struggles nearly cost him his life. https://thereporters.org/never-show-weakness/

#WAYBACKWEDNESDAY From The Reporters Inc.’s Archives: Back in 1994, when The Reporters Inc.’s Mark Saxenmeyer was a TV reporter in Chicago, he covered this astounding case: A 10-year-old Chicago boy was convicted of killing his neighbor, an 84-year-old woman. Even though the boy had confessed, Saxenmeyer kept thinking, “This kid didn’t do it.” In 2015, Saxenmeyer shared why he’s never forgotten this horrific wrongful conviction: https://thereporters.org/the-wrongful-conviction-ill-never-forget/

#waybackwednesday A Missouri man, Michael Amick, insisted he was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife’s grandmother Maxine in 2008. Eight years later, Reporters Inc. writer Devante Jax Wolfe began looking into allegations of law enforcement misconduct in Amick’s case. In November 2016, we published herd exclusive investigation just as Amick’s re-trial was beginning. And in the end, justice prevailed: https://thereporters.org/when-evil-takes-over/

#waybackwednesday From The Reporters Inc's archives: Meagan wasn’t your typical inmate. She was biologically male but identified as female, serving her sentence behind bars as a transgender woman in a men’s prison. In 2020, Writer Kim Whiting interviewed Meagan to better understand the issues transgender inmates face regularly, and the societal factors that often lead them to prison in the first place. https://thereporters.org/meagans-story/

#WaybackWednesday From The Reporters Inc’s archives: In 2013, a middle-aged mother wrote, anonymously, about whether she wanted to adopt a second child. “Am I up for the challenge again?” she pondered. "While family and friends tell us not to give up on our dream of having two children, the reality is it may not happen in the time frame I hope.” Spoiler alert: The writer and her husband ultimately decided against having a second child. https://thereporters.org/mother-reflects-on-second-adoption/
