My Biography

My Beliefs

My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we celebrate the birthday of George William Hill, born in 1838. He was an obscure astronomer and mathematician.

Yesterday's Bible reading was John 9:1-41 in which Jesus cures the blind man and the Pharisees become emotionally disturbed because he did it on the Sabbath.

At first I thought it was a parody. Somebody's making fun of the Jews by claiming that they're a buncha spastic extremists who reckon a charitable and medically beneficial act to be a form of work prohibited on the Sabbath. Nobody could actually be that fruit-cakey.

But then I thought, hey, some modern-day religion spastics really are that fruit-cakey, maybe some first-century Jewish extremists were that fruit-cakey, too!

But anyhow, the Wondrous Weather Website is predicting a nice warm day. Maybe I'll get out and mow my prairie garlic and catnip that I've got where a normal Denizen of Middle Suburbia would be expected to have grass.

Happy Mowing!

Oh by the way, if you're one of those insufferable snooty folks who think
you've just gotta have a (gasp) banner (shudder) to link to me,
I suppose I'll let you download this one for the purpose, if you really insist.
