The Queue

I must find an appropriate way to contact Mr. Posey, to thank him for his writing without invading his privacy. Perhaps I shall send a note of thanks care of his publisher, David Bull Publishing, or his home track, Lime Rock Park, wherein a section of the circuit is called the Sam Posey Straight.

After the entertainment of Where the Writer Meets the Road, which is not to say that the work is not thought-provoking, 'tis now back to work with Pope Francis's second encyclical letter, the famous (in certain circles, infamous) Laudato Si'. I have tried not to prejudge On Care for Our Common Home, & whatever I encounter therein I shall remember that His Holiness sits upon the chair of Saint Peter, having been duly elected & enthroned (yes, yes, I know the term "inaugurated" is the current fashion) to lead Christ's Church on Earth for as long as shall please the Lord. God the Holy Ghost, guide him!
