I've Voted

1)Finished the ballot just before 12:30pm at the Coral Gables Library. 2) The process was smooth, weather was good. 3) Most selfishly, I hope the phone calls will stop once they figure out I've voted.

The Run for the Roses 2021

I thought the September version of the Kentucky Derby was an afterthought for most folks.  Authentic (the horse) was trained by Bob Baffert and probably the most memorable part of the day was the Winner's Circle chaos that knocked the trainer to the ground for a moment.

The Kentucky Derby is less than a m...

I Have No Problems With This Sentiment

From a column about Jane Austen's beliefs: Look with Mercy on the Sins we have this day committed, and in Mercy make us feel them deeply, that our Repentance may be sincere, & our resolutions stedfast of endeavouring against the commission of such in future. Teach us to understand the sinfulness of our own Hearts, and bring to our knowledge every fault of Temper and every evil Habit in which we have indulged to the discomfort of our fellow-creatures, and the danger of our own Souls.  Hey, it's Sunday. The language might be from another time and it certainly isn't AI. I'm reminded of Pascal's Wager.  Can't hurt, and it might help.
