Of course! BTW, we visited Pachuca, Mexico, a few years ago, a mining town in the mountains 60 miles north of Mexico City. In the early 19th century Cornish miners worked the mines there and to this day, Cornish pastries are standard fare in Pachuca.

HOW TO GET YOUR OWN DAY THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS ... In college a friend told me that moving the clock forward one hour was easy to adjust to. So, he planned to move his clock forward one hour each day. In less than a month, he would have his own day that no one else in the world has. #DaylightSavings

As I get older, I misread things more and more, often with amusing results. I read this as INEVITABILE EATVM. Something to do with poisoning, perhaps?

I have responded to the claim that tiny dots in Catholicon Press books (1469-70) were made by the heads of micro-nails used to reattach stereotyped strips to wooden bases. The same dots appear in 17c English books, which no one has ever claimed were stereotyped.

Fred Biery is an honorable, decent man and a fine judge. He is doing more than his share of fighting to preserve freedom and rule of law. Thanks!

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
