    DO NOT WANT ANGLICAN PIE

    Father Jake Stops the World: With Apolgies to Don McLean I'm not a supporter of Rev. Don Armstrong's schismatic activism, or that of his former colleagues at the ACI, but I don't approve of what happened Sunday, when some teenaged idiot kid threw a cream pie in his face at the early service. That's just stupid and immature, and no way to treat a man of the cloth, no matter what his views. That said, Father Jake's take on "Anglican Pie" is kind of amusing, but only from one point of view. It would be funnier still if it was…

No telling if it works – would need a phone/data cable to attempt to hook it up. The pillager who found it for me mentioned in passing that the "fax part is busted." We'll see about that once I get a chance to find the online documentation.   Buy supplies for Officejet 6110 direct from the HP Home &…

    She Wore Blue Velvet

    This little item caught my eye:   CW Blog: Irregular Blogging by Irregular Writers …: Urning Potential Evidently, the editors at the Provo Daily Herald have realized how useless online surveys are and have just whimsically started asking whatever nonsense questions pop into their heads. Here’s this week’s bizarre poll: Which statement best describes your view on cremation? ( ) Makes resurrection difficult; cremation should be avoided ( ) Cremation should be encouraged; God doesn’t care … because, of course, there are people in the United States who, after much thought, have realized that cremation is just a huge incovenience…
