Why Not?

Liking nothing about Manziel, nothing and no one worse than one who’s his own hero. He’s a jerk and we’ll see if Sumlin has the guts to bench him for stupidity on September 14. If not, may Alabama defense make AggieSalsa out of him.

New England on my list. Patriots, Jets, Broncos.

War front. It’s forty-five years since I was at the Naval War College, but seems to me there’s something in war rules about timeliness of response as well as proportionality. Who’s going to vote, Senate? House? Both? Congress: every American’s favorite command center. 

Compiling a 1933 Buick folder. Why? Because.

Proper 17    The Sunday closest to August 31

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The petition has four requests: graft, increase, nourish, and bring forth. Marion Hatchett says it’s a metaphor for the farmer or gardener. The term “true religion” marks it as certainly not post-modern, and Hatchett dates it Gelasian, so eighth century?
