Today we celebrate a feast day in honor of the Martyrs of Lyons. They were supposedly martyred in 177 AD, about the time that Emperor Marcus Aurelius got sick and tired of trying to follow the tolerant policy of his predecessor Antoninus Pius and began cracking down on offbeat wacko cult followers such as Christians for nonpayment of taxes and street fighting.

Yesterday was a meeting of the Southern Maryland chapter of the Washington Area Secular Humanists. Just a very small group, not big enough to invite presenters in to make presentos. We're gonna "adopt" (do quarterly trash pickup on) a coupla miles of highway, so we watched the highway deptment training movie about trash pickup.

And so today's the day we pretend to hallucinate our imaginary sky zombie.

Happy Hallucinating!
