In the meantime, I received new webcams for the Z-Cam from WH.  They are 11 megapixel cams for about $9. Many thanks!  Anyone who ever looks at the birds over the Z-Cam can say a prayer for WH.

I am pleased to have received today a great chinois from BD!  Thanks! 

I now have two more volumes of translations of St. Augustine’s Sermones thanks to a kind reader, TS.  I can read the Latin, of course, but for the sake of research the translation helps things move along.

Quite a few people annoyed a liberal by sending a donation through the coffee cup icon on some of the posts in which I drill into dissenters.  Your help, and their irritation, are greatly appreciated.  I do not fail to pray pro benefactoribus, and I consider anyone who sends things or donations as benefactors.

In my own news: I am feeling truly dreadful and I am facing the possibility of a long car trip.  If I do not improve soon, I will not be going anywhere.  Prayers please.

ALSO, and this is fairly important, I have pretty much zeroed in on a new template/look for the blog.  More soon.
