Ffolkes,
Since I spent much of yesterday walking (over 3 miles in one fell swoop!), or recovering from it, there’s no fresh Pearl for today. However, in checking the suggestions below yesterday’s post, I found this one, from 2012, with some of the best ranting I’ve done. There are a lot of fine pearls, and some rather pointed, yet elegantly bruising discussion, sure to tickle those neurons. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will enjoy today’s outing…. I’ll try to get one done for tomorrow, but, we’ll see how well the BBR cooperates with that before committing to anything resembling a stone tablet. For now, just be well, & happy as you may be…. As I am fond of saying, that’s all you can do, which is, in the final analysis, all you can do…. See ya soon….

In doing so, today’s group of pearls will walk a very dangerous line, as they deal primarily with two subjects that are often unwise to discuss (especially together), i.e. politics and religion. It…
