Today we wish a fond Happy Birthday to Hillary Clinton, born in 1947. I admire her for somehow or t'nother managing her own political career in the face of all those cute little interns grubbelling around in her husband's nickers.

Yesterday's Bible readings were so unmemorable that Father D largely ignored them and came up with his own sermon about human compassion and mercy and the innate self-contradiction of the concept of mercy and compassion and what's the human way to cope with the logical conflict. Like, mercy toward a convicted murderer vs mercy toward relatives of the victim, that sorta thing.

But here's another church with a better idea. Burn all Bibles except the Original King James 1611 Version. Hey, if the King James Version (in Elizabethan English) was good enough for Jesus Christ it oughta be good enough for us!

Our church got one of those oil-burning fake candles for the Christmas Candle Holder. It needs to be screwed into the holder. It's got a 1/2-NC thread. The holder is a 5/16-NC thread. Needless to say, they don't fit. And we couldn't find a mystic incantation that would cause God to send an angel down from Heaven to deliver an adapter to us.

So, I took a short 1/2-NC bolt, drilled and tapped it for a 5/16-NC thread, and sawed the head off. It can now be inserted into the fake candle, which will now fit on the holder, at least in theory. We'll see if it works in practice. Theories are kinda funny that way, you see.

But anyhow, Facebook seems to be a bit more organized than Tagged. I got it working well enough with the Opera browser so I can ignore the stuff I can't do without switching to Microsoggy. At least the folks who wanna Friend me are real people instead of fake women who want my credit card number so they can sell me pornography.

And today is gonna be a nice cool day, so says the Wondrous Weather Website.

Happy Monday!
