If anyone has one of these (photo below, not above), and it’s just sitting around unused, please give it to me. Thanks in advance.
1959 Cadillac Coupe deVille 800 horsepower 502ci
A little less dire would be… with only 500 horse…
Again… if anyone has one they are not using, I’ll take it.
White to move and mate in 2.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
- The women’s World Championship continueth between defender Ju Wenjun and challenger Lei Tingjie. Game 11. The match is tied. Three games remain.
- In Bullet news, Hikaru outplayed Alireza. The speed of their mice-handling is scary.
- In other news, Prag (17) has broken 2700 and Gukesh hit 2750, the youngest ever: also 17
And I’m still at the level of, “What is that piece called again?”

Since we are getting to the end of the Tour de France (some amazing finishes and moments, as always) you can get great wine from the traditional Benedictines of Le Barroux. They revived the ancient papal vineyards of the Avignon Popes and producing some good stuff. I tried their award-winning rose (for which the south of France is well-known). They sent me some because I help them out. You won’t be sorry.

Great automobiles! Every now and then I find and older car to test drive. I am spoiled with the luxury of newer automobiles. They were great for there day. My Honda Ridgeline Pickup Truck drives like an SUV. Test drove a VW Beetle which was my first car. How did I ever drive it? Must have been the standard FM radio.
Have you asked Batman?
Dwight Yokam has a great tune about long white Cadillacs. Absolutely beautiful car.
I know a good joke about Cadillac’s and Jesuits!
So you’re a ‘59 man… I admit I never pondered “what’s Fr. Z’s favorite pre-conciliar Cadillac?” but if I had, I think I’d’ve guessed you’d prefer the ‘60 for it’s more-restrained tail fins and slightly-less bulbous front bumper… sort of a more sober – dare I say “Roman” – implementation of the same basic design. Of course in that vein, ‘65-‘66 was probably the pinnacle: elegant and restrained, with vertical taillights which paid respectful homage to their predecessors’ tailfins…
Good heavens, I sound like some sort of pompous wine critic! Henceforth I shall confine my postings to less-polarizing topics like the current papacy or the post-conciliar liturgical re-form – or even the correct matter and form for confecting a martini ;-)

Dear Father,
You have excellent taste in classic cars! Two things. First, I wonder if the all black Caddy is one of a series of four? Second, I was almost certain a priest needs to be a monsignor to drive one of those. Are you going to be announcing the most unlikely of promotions in the near future? ;-)
@BeatifyStickler Is that the same joke about the young man asking various priests from different orders whether it’s sinful to pray a novena for a new Ferrari?
Ariseyedead says: promotions in the near future
I have already discerned that I am already a Monsignor and it is now everyone’s obligation to accompany me in that determination.
After all, after learning that 2+2=5, and that those in manifest objective sin can receive Communion if they so discern, and how to “walk together” straight into the yawning Hell-jaws of antinomianism and the obliteration of the Magisterium of John Paul II, my being a monsignor is small beer.
Speaking of beer.
that tomb is spectacular! . . . and deservedly so
