LOL. I don't know about you, but I'm not looking
for "converts." Everyone is free to believe what
they bloody well want to believe. I'm just looking
for a few who seem to be able to conceive of some-
thing *other* than what they want to believe. I
figure that quest will keep me busy for easily
the rest of the incarnation. :-)
Have a great weekend. Going anywhere interesting?
You're from the UK, right? Hope you're getting out
into the countryside, or even "off island."
Me, I'm heading off this weekend into Cathar country.
Probably going to spend a couple of nights up at
Quéribus to blow the cobwebs out. This is what it
looks like, if you've never heard of it:
