“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Absolutely awesome! I hope to see the northern lights up from Canada or Alaska one day. I wonder if there are differences between the northern and southern lights.
Wow. The heavens are telling the glory of God. What is man that you are mindful of him?
Humans never went to space we’ve never set foot on the moon it’s all a government conspiracy to steal your tax dollars and funnel them into the military big corporations and everything horrible!

But seriously folks… This is one of the most fantastic photos I have ever seen in my entire life. I often wish I could have been an astronaut.
Beautiful.
Holy schmoley that looks fiery. That’s solar wind hitting the outer layer of our atmosphere, right? Man, the things reality does are _still_ leaving science fiction in the dust — even in the special effects department.
