Feria Latin for free day.
Learn how it became “fair” in English. “A day on which the people, especially the slaves, were not obliged to work and on which there were no court sessions. “In ancient Roman times the feriae publicae, legal holidays, were stativae, recurring regularly (e.g., the Saturnalia); conceptivae, i.e., movable; or imperativae, i.e., appointed for special occasions. “When Christianity spread, the feriae were ordered for religious rest, to celebrate the feasts instituted for worship by the Church. “The faithful were obliged on those days to attend Mass in their parish church; such assemblies gradually led to mercantile enterprise, partly from necessity and partly for the sake of convenience. “This custom in time introduced those market gatherings which … the English called fairs [see the similarity to feria?].” https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06043a.htm

William Faulkner said that a novelist is a failed short story writer and a short story writer is a failed poet. Hemingway created the six-word story, which combined poetry and drama into a short form, popular but difficult.
One hour from Los Angeles is Antelope Valley, Lancaster. Around 4th grade, every student learns the state symbols: California golden poppy, California valley quail, and California redwood. Grizzlies are gone, but black bears, some gold in color, are aplenty. Gold was uncovered (NorCal) in 1848 and statehood bestowed in 1850.
First Mass, first blessing, more than one hour for the blessings, holy cow! The way Hispanics and Asians, male and female, kiss his hands is beautiful. I’ve seen Hispanic boys and girls ask the priest for his autograph. Right parenting. The blessing is in Latin. Everyone knows it. It could be Martian. All the same.
As usual there are lots of extraneous noises. When I have ushered and stood at the end of the communion rail and seen Daniel who was serving, approaching, I wanted to start laughing. Someday I will get him in a headlock. His face is too waggish, so it is due. The second or third time I told him that, Daniel said, “As usual.” He doesn’t scare easily. It might be revenge on my brother who was six years older. He got me in a scissor lock and headlock at every opportunity. We love, need, and respect our priests. They are set apart. What is beyond our universe?
The trite answer is that both space and time were created at the big bang about 14 billion years ago, so there is nothing beyond the universe. However, much of the universe exists beyond the observable universe, which is maybe about 90 billion light years across. https://www.newscientist.com/lastword/mg25333691-300-the-universe-is-expanding-but-what-exactly-is-it-expanding-into/#:~:text=The%20trite%20answer%20is%20that,90%20billion%20light%20years%20across. Scientists measure vast distances in parsecs. A parsec is 3.26 light years, the unit used when the number of light years between objects climbs into imagined distances. Alexander, 9, and I debated this question. He said the universe is infinite. I said it is not. I like to think of it as an expanding balloon and will prove it to him next time by way of metaphysics. The only Brontë sister to marry was Charlotte, and dead at 26 was their only brother, to whom Wuthering Heights author Emily was especially close, and they say she was terribly shy. Their brother, Branwell, lacked male companions when he was growing up, and a female lover rejected him. Charlotte wrote to her publisher that Branwell died without ever knowing that his sisters had published a line. All is hard to read.

Click the link for more information about the crowning in Notre-Dame, who the painter was, how he did it, and those in attendance, including Pius VII, who was originally pictured with hands crossed on his lap, but, as Napoleon supposedly claimed, the Pope was not present to do nothing. So, N instructed the painter to depict Pius anointing the proceedings. N was 5'6. Making P sit behind was smart. Their martyrdoms were during the reign of Antoninus Pius or Diocletian, and the Roman Martyrology states that it was in the third century when they met their deaths, which would point to Diocletian. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Antoninus-Pius https://www.britannica.com/biography/Diocletian Victor was a Roman soldier, and Corona was the wife of a Roman soldier. Foolhardy it was to pray for the intercession of St. Corona because her name, which means “crown” in Latin, bore a resemblance to the 2020 virus. The Sun’s corona is the outermost part of the its atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun’s surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be viewed during a total solar eclipse.
I didn’t know much about Title IX, but now I do. See the entry titled “Academy of Art” on 4/17/2023.
“Customs and Border Protection (CBP One) is a smartphone app that encourages foreign people residing in Mexico who are pregnant, mentally ill, old, crippled, destitute, or victims of crime to make an appointment with officers at the border in the expectation that they may be released into American neighborhoods.”
… “According to a recent study by Adam Shaw of Fox News, more than 99 percent of foreign nationals who use the smartphone app end up getting allowed into the interior of the United States. “This success rate is astounding given the sometimes-complex asylum procedure.” https://americandigest.com/report-finds-non-u-s-citizens-who-use-joe-bidens-migrant-mobile-app-have-a-99-chance-of-being-allowed-to-enter-the-united-states/? What about all the other people on the immigration waiting list? It reminds me of people cutting in front of others waiting in line. A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
“Have you ever done anything of particular merit?” St. Peter asked. “Well, I can think of one thing,” the cowboy said. “On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. “So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. “I yelled, ‘Now, back off or I’ll kick the crap out of all of you!’” St. Peter was impressed and asked, “When did this happen?” “Couple minutes ago.” Libraries before 2015.

During the Vietnam War, 16 Catholic American military chaplains died from their wounds. Thanh joins them. Deadline reports that Disney lost over $250 million on two films in 2022: Strange World and Lightyear, films in which Disney decided to ‘go woke.’
Biden is a prop, in and out, aware and unaware, a figurehead. He couldn’t take an SAT. All these people who support him are so committed to the money they are receiving or an ideology that they wouldn’t care if an AI robot took his place.
Have you ever watched her grill witnesses that come before Congress? She is as mean as they come. Now she is accused of beating her ex.
