A very rare almost mid-week post. I’m feeling puckish as the globe careens towards insolvency.

Immortalized in Stained-Glass
A quote from Bermuda’s Story by Terry Tucker:
“On the north side of the nave in the Bermuda Cathedral in Hamilton you will see a stained-glass window picturing the storm on the sea of Galilee and the small boat struggling through mountainous waves. At the foot are the words: ‘In Memory of the First Settlers in these Islands and of their Historian, Sir John Henry Lefroy, K.C.M.G., sometime Governor of this Colony.’ This seems a meagre public reminder of a governor who did more for Bermuda than would seem possible for one man in the short span of a six-year tour of duty. To you who want to know the story of your home-land, no name can mean more than that of Lefroy who was Governor and Commander-in-Chief from 1871 to 1877.”
Thanksgiving 2022
“I may be obliged to defend every love, every ending…”
I’m thankful I’m sitting at my lovely Eames desk on this warmish sunny Thanksgiving Day. My bookshelves are still empty, but I had five wonderful days with Bear and the Bridgeport Islanders are rolling. The World Cup is also providing a nice reprieve from the total meltdown at Saints FC.

I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12

Biden Inflation
The Wizard of Oz and his flying monkeys want you to believe the minor incursion of Russia in Ukraine is the cause of rampant inflation. Don’t be fooled because inflation was surging before the latest foreign policy crisis. The cause of inflation is the MASSIVE printing of dollars (spend, spend, spend) and has been exacerbated by energy policies that restrict new supply and the FEDs massive balance sheet. This is all by design and Biden is lying, scapegoating, and deflecting when he (or his propaganda ministers) say otherwise.

Hereford Postscript
The stained-glass in the east window in All Saints Church was created by ME Aldrich Rope. She was also responsible for one of my favourtie pieces, Franciscan Boy and a Vision of Heaven, in the The Stained Glass Museum in Ely.

Limestone Roof 18th Anniversary
My first post was 18 years ago (216 months). The original was on Blogger before migrating to WordPress after google stopped supporting FTP publishing on March 26, 2010. It’s MOSTLY an outline for a list of eclectic interests and I’m proud of it as a hub, sandbox, archive, and incubator for all these fragments.
Just a reminder…
Caedite eos, novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
