A BIT OF HUMOR BEFORE THE CRUCIAL STUFF
Well, mah gracious! What’s this heah? A bloodhound wins Best in Show at the 2022 Westminster Dog Show?
Best in Show??! Ol’ Porchfloor with that beyond-homely mug. The link to the Deseret.com site is here, complete with that full frontal homeyness:
Speaking as a retired prison chaplain, we at the Indiana State Prison had several of these super-trackers around, just in case. But in light of our maximum-security level, they were kept in readiness but were almost always unemployed.
REGRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY AND AMAZON WITCHCRAFT
At what point does current AI lead us back to seances, ectoplasmic protrusions while communicating with the dead, and so forth in the alleged ‘spirit world’? For an AI tidbit beyond the macabre impersonal, check this out:
“Amazon demonstrates Alexa mimicking the voice of a deceased relative“
The creativity of the Metaverse crowd seems unbridled. But this replicator of the deceased reminds of that old joke among us pastoral types concerning the ventriloquist at the funeral… “I was just tryin’ to lighten things up a little”.

My, my, how inclusive. Archbishop Cupich, where are you?
WARNING of excessive
CBSN reported on the peaceable nature of the gathered throngs outside the Supreme Court building. That was at 1403 (2:03 p.m. EST).
My immediate reflection was that “It isn’t dark yet either.”
It was appalling to listen to CBSN along with Newsmax this morning and hear little of the number of deaths and incidents of violence overnight. Just type ‘overnight violence into your search engine and judge for yourselves.
Blessings upon all who are in this contest with evil and blessings upon all who support us in it,
Father David+
