Who’s the hottest guy in the Coast Guard?

Yeah, I thought so. We know who are hero is, the one in the dorky helmet! Check this out, and then read the press release.

Thanks to all the brave men and women who serve our country. It’s not a flawless country. It’s not even even a country that is free from the ills that plague other countries on earth, but it’s ours, and it’s worth protecting. In this case, these fine coast guards protected more than the coast–they stopped the delivery of an obscene amount of cocaine destined to ruin more people and communities.

Good work guys!

new Monday Musings (don’t faint)

It seems like I’ve been in a bit of a prayer rut lately. Maybe it’s the changing season; maybe it’s that I am undergoing some kind of change myself. I dunno. But I do know that I have felt an absence of something, or perhaps not so much an absence of something as a deep-seated yearning for something more.

Enter the social utilities where I play a bit throughout the day. Many of you come to the forums here at Rosary Army. Others participate in any number of opportunities to twitter, plurk, pownce, rejaw and otherwise microblog your activities throughout the day. These utilities are wonderful ways for us to connect to a community of faithful Catholics that share our lives in all the mundane and dramatic turns that make us human.

One of my plurky friends, Edgar the Mexican, announces the Angelus daily. Okay, it’s not a ringing bell, but it is a call to prayer nonetheless. Do churches outside of Rome even ring the bells anymore?

Today is the Autumnal Equinox! ! !

Meh.

It just means it’s fall, or autumn as we pretentious few prefer to say.

I appreciate the cooler weather, although in Atlanta that brings a lot of dreary weather with it — rainy gray days. In a perverse way, I kind of enjoy it that way, but there are plenty of people who don’t, and it makes driving even more dangerous around here. What is it with Atlanta drivers and precipitation? In Miami driving through a monsoon was pretty much SOP, and in Germany snowfall was measured in meters, not quarter inches. Ha!

Anyway, I look forward to the changing leaves, even if I do have to clean up after nature’s adolescent stage.
