The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Name Explain
One of my favourite YouTube channels is called Name Explain, done by a young Englishman named Patrick Foote. He does short, generally four to six minutes, videos on the etymology and derivation of names, names of animals, countries, rivers, you name it. It's fascinating and I have thoroughly enjoyed every video of his I've watched.
He has written a book! Here is his video announcing it and a link to Amazon to buy it, if you're so inclined. I'm an Old Curmudgeon on a fixed income, but I have every intention of preordering it on the first of the month (it's release date is 15 October).

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
