For What its worth

  • Reblog of Jeff KC9UNZ:

    Reblog via Jeff KC9UNZ Thank you Guardian for clearly pointing fingers. IMHO children (and adults) don't learn anything unless they suffer the consequences of their actions whether it be climate warming or electoral choice. Some consequences however are so dire what do the half of us do while the other half blissfully drives the bus…

    While very difficult to see with the naked eye, a time lapse photo of the northern sky makes the Aurora Borealis easier to see tonight here in Galena, IL. #AuroraBorealis #Nature

    Christmas Cactus

    My Mom always had a Christmas Cactus that has passed down to my sister and has grown to gargantuan proportions. This was in the window at Fritz and Frites in Galena, IL.

    Since I am isolating for #COVID I’ve moved a few of my #HamRadio handheld radios into my “cell.” It’s been a while since I used my #DMR radio and #pistar and was surprised it wasn’t working. There was plenty of activity in the brandmeister hoseline and although my pi-star reported that my radio was connecting…

    Reflections on Thomas Aquinas Seminar in Orvieto

    OK. Let’s be clear. If you want a concise review of our work here at the Istituto San Lodovico, don’t read this, read Ruby’s journal. She is much smarter than me and able to sythesize more quickly. I will be ruminating over this material for months. I’ve come away with a reading list that will…

    Each week one of a team of folk at St Andrews Episopal Church, Madison, WI writes a Justice Reflection based on the Gospel reading for the week from the lectionary. This week is my turn so I share here my submission for publication in the newsletter. #theology #faith Mark 4:35-41 4:35 On that day, when…

  • Aquinas in Orvieto

    Aquinas in Orvieto

    I am a little behind in my travelogue. Our seminar has begun. Matthew Fox walks us through his work on Aquinas in the morning and we join together in some smaller artistic expression groups in the afternoon punctuated by a two hour multi-course Italian “lunch”. Of course then we don’t need dinner but with all…
