The Vatican speaks out about driving.

The 10 commandments of driving

1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbour in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.

There goes my Hummer, cf #5.

Man, Secret City Festivals, mayor elections, and all sorts of stuff happened while I was away.  We got home and the fish were happy to see us (didn’t I mention that Syrup now shares a tank with Mr. Pootentater, and Gabe Jr 1, 2, and 3?).

Poor old Pigpen whomped up a fever this morning, after a lousy nights sleep in my room (for my part, I slept better every night at Bonnaroo than last night at the farm, grumble grumble), and he’s passed out on the couch now, poor little guy.  The cable TV is fired up, and bags have yet to be unpacked.

I have so many stories running through my head.  Several people told me that this thing would be good for me, and I didn’t really see how (except for that whole 4 day party thing), but it did something to me on a deep level, something that I’m still working out, and something to do with BJ, and life, and death, and The Beauty.  I’ll tell you folks some stories, and supplement what I’ve told you already, but not today.

Today I’m gonna spend some time with my boys, back at home.
