"Out of Context Comment" are things I want to remember I said "Quote of the day" are things others have said that I want to remember. I am not 'better than that' nor am I the man Mr Rogers knew I could be - I can live with both. No DMs, No Porn, No Crypto

I don't usually correct the grammar of people I broadly agree with but "hypocrisy" isn't a common synonym for "traitorous noise".

From Texas to Israel: Red heifers needed for Temple arrive | The Jerusalem Post A Christian farmer in Texas raised the prized heifers which are essential for priests to serve in the Temple.
