I'll tell ya You can put me out On the street Put me out With no shoes on my feet But, put me out, put me out Put me out of misery, yeah

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay

Rocky and Shadow: mixed-breed dogs from local shelters. Rocky yawned while I was taking a picture of him. The result reminded me of a famous photo of Einstein, so I made a mash-up:

Woke up this morning I was all alone Saw your picture by the telephone I was missing you oh so bad Wish I had you here to hold All I've got is this touch-tone phone So I guess I'll give you a call

In the bars, with the men who play guitars Singin', drinkin', and rememberin' the times My little lover does a midnight shift She followed around all the time I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do Gonna pack my bags and move on my way 'Cause I got a worried mind sharin' what I thought was mine Gonna leave her where the guitars play

From the other direction, she was calling my eye Could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try

Dark Star, I see you in the morning, Dark Star, a-sleeping next to me. Dark Star, let the memory of the evening Be the first thing that you think of When you open up your smile and see me Dark Star.

This is a song called "Alice's Restaurant" And it's about Alice, and the restaurant But "Alice's Restaurant" isn't the name of the restaurant It's just the name of the song And so, that's why I call the song "Alice's Restaurant"

I've looked under chairs I've looked under tables I try to find the key To fifty million fables They call me the Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after 'Til the day I die

I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old

We used to play for silver Now we play for life

It's the opposite, unless something drastically changed in 7 years: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/15/annulments-plummet-among-us-catholics-amid-fewer-m/

It's recognized in Catholicism too, but they call it "annulment," as if it never happened. My brother was married for 24 years. He and his wife had a son together. After they divorced, he met someone and wanted to remarry, but the only way to do that in the Catholic church is to have the first marriage annulled. (You guessed it: there's a fee involved in that process.) So basically, pay a tithe and the church will turn a blind eye to your first marriage. I'm sorry, but that's just a racket.

In theory, yes. In practice, not so much. Isn't that Lutheranism? (AKA "Catholic Lite")

"I'd gladly bang you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

They should've given the bag to Marshawn!

Well, at least they were honest... https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/02/04/package-labeled-bag-full-of-drugs-leads-to-florida-arrests

They do now, per executive order:

Aaaaaaaand it turns out to be an urban legend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/patrick-mahomes-buys-dinner

We've all been waiting We've been wondering, will we ever know the truth What it's like washing windows When you know that there are pigeons on the roof

Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
