Over the past few weeks I've been overnight in my car more than indoors. Add to that I am convinced retirement/resignation was in fact a severe error, a result of weakness borne of fatigue, depression, and the Adversary's relentless efforts (I repeat myself). I have no idea what sort of future unfolds from here. Pray for me, as I pray for you.

We were only going 40-45 uphill, and I practice emergency stops at that speed all the time, so he didn't get me. Good spot to set up a deer stand off the road in the woods.

Prayers with a side of coffee
Prayers for healing of body, mind, and spirit. Father Almighty, heal and comfort those who suffer from the pains and problems of aging, eyes and hands, lungs, heart, blood, bowels, and all organs. Heal and comfort those young marrieds who strive for children but haven't yet managed. Strength and steadfastness to those striving for better health, and safety and steadfastness for those in new employment. Special plea for healing and salvation for those suffering from the diabolical mis-alignment of mind and spirit, estranged from family, threatening their children and confused themselves in forms of dysphoria, morals and principles, rejecting truth and reason. Free the captives, confound your enemies, bless our nation with healing, and our world. I think that about covers it for my first cup of coffee.

I have resolved, and indeed have started, that, having said my Rosary in the morning, I will read four chapters of the Bible every day. At that rate, I should get through the entire thing in about a year. I've always had a terrible time with devotional works. There's no psychological connection. I may as well be reading something about electron spin resonance or advanced Sanskrit. I'm not sure this will go much better, but at least I'm trying and hope the Good Lord takes note of my perseverance. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 19, 2026 09:12 AM (eRlcH) 39

Good spot to set up a deer stand off the road in the woods. Nab him after he leaves the corn field back into the woods at o-dark-30.
Posted by: BifBewalski ------ Corn fed is the best tasting venison. I got a call Friday before that last weekend from a friend because I hadn't bothered with a licence (in college, no time). He had a farmer acquaintance who needed someone who hadn't filled their tag. I picked a doe tag that evening, drove out Saturday night (about 30 miles) and met the guy. He took me out to the edge of one corn field and explained that, right after dawn, a doe would emerge from to wood lot adjacent, check things out, and then proceed to nibble on various ears. (Cont) Posted by: buddhaha at September 19, 2026 09:16 AM (LsINp) 42
(Cont)
He told me that he wouldn't have bothered if she just ate a couple of ears, but that she was ruining 15-20 ears every morning. I went back and slept in my car, got up before dawn when he brought out coffee, and got on station at sky liightening. Sure enough, as the sun just rose, she steps out of the wood lot, looks around for a minute, decides it's ok, and literally oranges over to the corn. Clear line of sight, 75 yards, one shot. The farmer heard the shot, drove out with his pickup. We butchered her in his barn. I left him the hide and about half the meat. As I said, best tasting venison I ever had.

In 1671 a Maronite scholar named Antoine Faustus Nairon wrote an entire treatise under the title “ De Saluberrima Potione Cahue seu Cafe Nuncupata Discursus ”. Translated, “ A Discourse on the Wholesome Drink Called Cahue or Coffee”. It traces the invention of coffee to a 9th century goat herder in Ethiopia, who fed the beans of a plant to his herd and noticed they had more energy and didn’t sleep at night. He told a local monk the story, and the rest is history.

Correct. You can go to another state. Legally purchase it, and bring it home. That doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have to comply with some states licensing requirements once you get home.

Best wishes for your Bible study. I don't know what it means to have a psychological connection . Does that mean you have to know something about the author? You might consider "The Complete Fenelon" published by Paraclete Press . He was a 17th c French Archbishop and spiritual director and these are his letters to people he advised. It's very helpful short letters on things like "Bearing the criticisms of others" or " Patience under Contradiction" following by meditations on Feasts and Fasts . Fenelon has been a cherished "companion" since I got the book. At this point it's paperback cover has been worn away- a testament to its frequent use.

Hadrian, I was listening to a psych podcast, and the topic was mindfulness (aimed toward shrinks to encourage them to get their patients to do it as part of getting better)
Made me wonder about which type if Catholic prayer practices align with mindfulness Posted by: vmom deport deport stab deport at September 19, 2026 09:34 AM (Ydd86) --- The problem is that for the past century we have sought "scientific" answers to spiritual questions. Anxiety, depression, etc. are all of the spirit, and this is why have a strong prayer life and regular religious practice are so effective. When your life is a mess, conduct an examination of conscience. This is often painful, and it is helpful to have a spiritual director or incorporate it into regular confession. As you bring yourself more into alignment with God, things take on a degree of clarity, and as one contemplates the eternal, the immediate becomes less important. When things were really bad after the Bidening, I prayed the Rosary almost every day, and it brought me great comfort. This was before the grandkids moved in and now things are more hectic, but still try to say at least one every week and I always feel relaxed afterward Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

When Charlie Olvis had his first assignment with Borzoi at the Lima KC show in Columbus, we had our Lacey entered. As luck would have it, I was the steward for the adjacent ring and the judge's tables were back to back. I tried not to look too hard but Lacey went Best of Breed. Later, I said to Charlie across the divider, "Good choice on the Borzoi." He replied, "Was that yours? She's a beauty." Barbara Alderman later gave her a Group 4 good for 237.

In my breed, "judge's education" is where a lot of them learn about the "ideal" conformation characteristics.
The problem with that is the breeders providing the judge's education are the ones producing lines of what they *think* the breed standard should be, not what the standard actually is. Which is bullshit. Posted by: one hour sober at September 19, 2026 09:51 AM (J4Dwc) 110

Dr. Johnson was drug out of his house one night and murdered by person or persons unknown. (he is the guy who started the Shawnee Mission). A month later, Dr. Lea (after whom Lee's summit was named) was dragged out of his house and murdered by person or persons unknown. Posted by: MkY at September 19, 2026 09:57 AM (q6tQZ) 120

New study:
Caffeine pollution could disrupt crustacean defenses against predators Basic determination: crustaceans abandon concealment strategies and become more active under the influence of environmental contamination of caffeine. Pull quote: The recent work by Fritzsche, Otto and their collaborators suggests that elevated caffeine concentrations might alter amphipod behavior in ways that reduce their chances of survival. However, because the experiment did not include a caffeine-free control, its findings demonstrate concentration-dependent effects rather than the effects of caffeine exposure itself.

When you alter the text of the Bible, or corrupt its passages with meaning and embellishments that are not just clearly antithetical to God’s Word, but clearly makes you an apostate, you’re not a Christian in any sense of the word.
It’s the same thing I tell people when they advocate for abortion and claim to be a Catholic. You may call yourself a Catholic, but that has meaning. Specifically that you follow church doctrine and teachings. Not some of them- it’s not a Chinese menu. All of them. And please don’t conflate sin with apostasy.
