Caught…

The day has been hot, and the sidewalk is still warm under my feet… It’s getting on nine o’clock; Bennie had come up to me, told me he needed to go for a pee and I got up to take him out for a quick walk around the block. As I may have mentioned before, in the house I am always barefoot, and that I... Sign in to see full entry.

The dog who fell in love with a woman…

You know what I think of dogs - I kinda, sorta like them… Well, here is an amazing story I thought you’d like too, so I’m sharing it… (And as an aside: That grammar-check doesn’t want me to refer to a dog as a ‘who’, and wants me to say ‘that’. Well, that grammar-check is a ‘that’ and can go to... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, I will address many of the points you raised…

…in response to my latest post. Though not today, since there are ‘matters of the day’ I have to deal with that will keep me occupied for most of it, among them of course my walks with Bennie, the most important person in this house… But for those who are still in the market for interesting...

This is why I keep writing about it…

Katray tells me, in yet another comment, “ I really want to understand why the Muslims I know in person and those I have discussed issues with on-line are sane, peaceful and productive people who make it known that they reject violence for any reason.” That’s really kind of funny! Would she do a... Sign in to see full entry.

And again – Response-to-Comments Day...III

As promised, I shall deal with all the comments I received on the post that wasn’t duly respectful of Pope Francis. Y Yes, I’ll admit, I was a bit rude – ‘idiot’ was probably too much. ‘Foolish’ I won’t take back, though; it’s based on a mountain of evidence! And ‘ignoramus’, which Wiley thought...

So let’s hear what others have to say…

My recent remarks about Pope Francis have certainly stirred the pot – it’s a tiny little bit like the ‘rumbles’ we occasionally used to have here in the streets of Blogitville in the olden days. (I only got involved in one; I started it, actually – over a guy – I think he was/is from India – who... Sign in to see full entry.

And again – Response-to-Comments Day...II

As promised, I shall deal with all the comments I had in response my piece on Pope Francis. But since it’s impossible to do all of them at once, I shall have to do them in batches, as it were. I’ve ‘done’ Katray (I don’t know whether she’s read it yet, or whether she will ), and today I’ll be... Sign in to see full entry.

And again – Response-to-Comments Day I

My latest piece in this blog, the one on some of the Pope’s pronouncements, stirred up a hornet’s nest of controversy – great stuff. No, I don’t think my fellow Bloggers are hornets; and just in case someone might feel offended, let me tell you I actually like hornets. Pretty well the only living... Sign in to see full entry.

The basic motives remain murky...

As is usually the case in human action, especially in collective action, there are probably several… One of them may well have been the knowledge that the fortunes of the Church of Rome are waning in Europe, with the exception of large parts of Italy, the other Latin countries, Austria, Bavaria and...

Circling the drain…

Until that insane Angela Merkel began importing Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa by the millions, Germany was stable in spite of the presence of millions of Turks who were slowly being integrated reasonably well. Under threat were France and the Scandinavian countries, particularly... Sign in to see full entry.
