Just a quick drive down I35W to the hideous metrosprawl that is Fort Worth and our suburban cathedral, St. Vincent's. St. Vincent's is in a place called Bedford, which isn't far from Hurst or Arlington, and we call it the "Mid Cities."
Once, many years ago, I made an oath, "I shall never live in a plastic sided suburb." God had other thoughts but He's been kind; the Compound's hardly suburban and its sides are made of wood instead of plastic. Regardless, I ventured forth into the Metrosprawl for our Chrism Mass.
Glad I did. What a great crew of fellow clergy who uphold the Faith and do their best to live it. Fun people, too. Still, the event was in the midst of the appalling 'sprawl, so it took a bit of time to dig out from that and back to the civilization of the Compound.
In related news, our diocese tells us we aren't supposed to make "political posts" on social media. Such wisdom and what can I say, Zu Befehl? You'll notice, dear friends, that one of the beauties of the Fourth Reich, the Space Reich, is that you're invisible. Black uniforms, you see.
Ad Astra,

Those three books sound intriguing.
But I'll stick with The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Crusades (yes, an actual book.) Which totally demolishes both the Lefts' and the muslims' perspective of how the Crusades were evilbadthinkaction by Christians.
And you can't beat a nice suburb for living in. As long as the neighbors are neighborly. Especially if they act like it's kind of 1950's and they watch out for each other.
A flash glance at the Bill and Hil made me think, from his hand position, he'd finally had enough and was strangling her. Then a closer look brought disappoint. Sadly, not this time. Oh well. Maybe someday.
Gotta wonder when that Bill and Hill photo was taken. 2016? Demons have taken their toll since then.
I get that suburb thing, Beans, though I prefer the countryand older houses, tbh. Ahem, where's my Georgian setup in Bloomsbury?!?
The Crusade book is value.
Please, Wild, please can someone lock her up? Thx.
They've definitely aged, DOS. And yes, '16's a good call, Hill was all polished up for the presidential win she never had. Oh well.
