Theologians and other clerks,
You won't understand this book,

If you do not meet it humbly,
And in this way, Love and Faith
Make you surmount Reason, for
They are the protectors of Reason's house.”

Some muddled cucumber with gin is always refreshing…especially when needing something to cool and calm

As an early education specialist, I applaud the intensity of interest and interaction at a mutual level…and while not totally able to see, it looks like a couple other adults are attempting some engagement behind the mayor and child…early ed is about showing up for the children

Never liked Stairway…always searched for something else if it came on the radio…of the four listed, favorite would be Rock and Roll

I hope to be proven wrong but as a preacher’s kid myself from a fundamentalist background, I have said Talarico reminds me of Fetterman and Jimmy Swaggart…slick and persuasive but when pushed will cry about how he didn’t want to but had to do whatever

This has to be AI or The Onion

San Antonio here…at 6:50 PM just had a whole group of bombers or other military planes fly over…higher alert in the area…not sure what else is going on

“Fate operates when people give up.”
