Daily Rome Shot 1227 – My View For Awhile – North!

In Rome, sunrise was at 07:29 and sunset is at 17:15.   The Ave Maria Bell ought to ring at 17:30.

It is the Feast of St. Vincent Pallotti, who is the saintly neighbor of The Parish™ on the Via dei Pettinari.

In the traditional calendar we observe Sts. Vincent and Anastasius, which  Roman church is in front of the Trevi Fountain.   This is the church in which the innards of dozens of Popes are entombed.  Yes, innards.

I’ve been watch quite a few of the videos and clips of the inaugural events.  I happened to catch the new SecState arrive at Foggy Bottom and give a speech to his workers.   I am pretty sure that Marco Rubio is a Vulcan.

I am at the airport for my first leg to Brooklyn. Thence, to Roma. The airport is chaos due to many delayed flights. My flight is delayed as well but – so far – not too long. And I don’t have a connection.

I’ve thought for a while. I can’t think of anything I’ve heard Card. Sarah say with which I disagree.

I read on X a suggestions that the Gulf should be renamed the Gulf of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I like it. It might be too late. HERE

I missed the whole thing with the “bishopette” but I saw 47’s tweet. I guess that’s a “no” vote. HERE

Meanwhile…

In chessy news… I don’t have much to say other than

Black to move and mate in 3.

[NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.]

Oh yes, FIDE has their panties in a twist over the rise of a Fisher Random – aka “Freestyle” – Chess “World” Championship.   It was bound to happen.

UPDATE

I really like that message “Bag on plane”… and it’s the correct plane.
