About this blog…
“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.

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often 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?

You should have had the air conditioning on to get it to 11.1 degrees C.
Has anyone checked on Harold Camping?
I liked this related quote: “If it seems like the 2012 mythology was thought up by people on drugs, it’s because it was.”
Apparently the “Mayan calendar” believers think that 11/11/11 is some sort of profound “synchonicity”.

I think I’ve been sleep deprived and staring at my computer screen typing papers for too long today already. When I first saw that picture, I thought someone was trapped inside of it. Wow…just wow…
I’m amazed you were actually able to get the seconds correct with the delay a lot of cameras have. Even my new 4s has an annoying 10th of a second delay.
It has been very easy dating documents today!!/!!/!!
But alas, it really isn’t 11/11/11, but 11/11/2011 (in the US and Europe). 11/11/11 took place 2000 years ago (when Someone very special was walking the Earth). February 22, 2222 should be interesting, but I doubt that I will be here to witness it firsthand.
It is too bad that the temperature was not 11.1 degrees C. That would have made the above picture perfect. ;)
Oops, sorry. I didn’t see the first comment before writing mine.
“Through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grevous fault.”
And Three Dog Night told us that 1 is the loneliest number.
Random Friar: Not today, it isn’t!
Here’s an oddity about today: if you add your age to the last two digits of the year you were born, you get either 11 or 111.
Sorry, I meant an oddity for today, not “about”!
Well, at least we’re past June 6, 2006..:P
Ok, who ruined the perfect count of comments (11)? Now we need to stuff the combox with another 80+ to get back to ones with 111. Alternately, Fr. can strike this comment and the one before and freeze it into place at 11… I’m game!
