Evie Day 271
Good morning, and welcome to my favorite day of the work week. Today is Tuesday 12 December 2023.
Yes Virginia, there will be tacos!
One of the tools I have loaded up on this WordPress site is a little tracker that shows me how many folks check out my site daily. I don’t have a multitude of visitors, but I am thankful for those of you who decide to drop by and read about what’s going on with me and where my head happens to be on any given day. I’m sure that there are several folks that question why I do not pull my head out of the place some believe it has been inserted. I’m not the most exciting guy on the planet, and that’s just fine. Maybe that just means that I’ve grown up a bit.
A bit… not completely. Let’s not get carried away.
I was reading an opinion piece about religious displays on government property in Iowa, and it’s interesting to the point where if a local government has to accept a display on behalf of one religion, then all others who want the same treatment get it as well. The local Satanic Temple decided to ask for the same recognition and received it… and folks are hacked off. It’s a combination of things – religious freedom and freedom of speech. There are a lot of folks who don’t like the Satanic display but have no problem with the nativity scene. If you have one, you have to allow all – Christianity (one flavor or the other) is not the state religion – we don’t have one. That was the intent of the separation of church and state. If you are going to allow one, you have to allow those to which a person might not endear themselves.
I made good progress on my security session for Friday. I think I have all of the content for the session and a few extras that I can pore over for interesting tidbits.
I’ve got a couple of hours until I start my Eastern Time Zone session at 8:00 AM local time. I better make a pot of coffee and get a little breakfast in me. Lisa made a breakfast pie on Sunday, and I’ll reheat a slice of that to go with my medium-roast Tanzanian peaberry coffee.
(BTW, thanks for reading)
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
