(Listen to the radio version here.) Summer is ostensibly going to last for another 5 weeks, but birds are gearing up for autumn. A bazillion hummingbirds are showing up in my yard right now. We planted bee balm last fall and added a few cardinal flowers this spring. Both flowers time their blooming for hummingbird migration, providing the maximum service for hummingbirds exactly when they get the maximum value for themselves, depending on hummingbirds for pollination.

This project is pretty simple. As a complement to each race weekend, I’ll be cooking the national dish of that race’s host country and sharing information about the process and that dish’s history along the way in an effort to grow more deeply immersed in the local culture from my own home. Monza is located near Milan, which makes the Italian Grand Prix a great opportunity to explore the cuisine of one of Italy’s most incredible cities — and, arguably, its cultural capital.

There are two ways this could go. A demon-eyed friend brings you a shot in the bar. “Would you like to try Chicago’s finest wormwood liqueur?” He’s snickering, but the liquid looks honey-colored, harmless. You choked down Goldschläger in college; you can handle whatever this is. You cannot handle whatever this is. You were expecting sweet; you were delivered bile. The shot tastes like asphalt and citronella, like licking the floor of a shop that sells tires.

Prosecutors used a brave 911 phone call from a murder victim to help convict one of his killers. "Tell God to blow the wind from the west."             Kevin Cosgrove was an executive at Aon Corporation, an insurance company. He worked on the 105th floor of Two World Trade Center. On the morning of September 11, 2001, he made this phone call at 9:54 a.m.: 911: What’s the telephone number I can tell FD to push up?

You know what are great? Movies about giant monsters. Your Godzillas, your Gameras, your Kings Kong, etc. The biggest behemoths in the world just stomping around, smashing buildings, kicking tanks, and so forth. Everyone can agree that they rule. I mention this because Godzilla Minus One comes out this week in the United States. It’s the thirtieth live action film starring Godzilla that was made by Toho Co., Ltd. in Japan.

Originally published in the Moultrie News. Are manners still important for today’s students? Yes, instilling good manners is one of the most beneficial legacies you can give your children. Imagine you’re a teacher who receives these emails: 1) Good morning, Mr. Stallings! I received a 90 on our test last week, but it was entered as a 9. I know you are busy, so I am grateful for any help you can offer.

A group of students assembled on the University of Texas at Austin campus to call for an end to the war in Gaza. They did not engage in violence. They did not disrupt classes or occupy administrative buildings. They set up tents on a lawn. They were met with a militarized response, ordered by Governor Abbott, and supported by University administrators. Students and journalists were arrested. Mikala Compton/American-Statesman Share Greg Abbott is one of many on the right that has bemoaned the death of free speech on campus.

Within this tradition you have at least the Assyrian Church of the East (who stand alone since the 2nd ecumenical council) and the Chaldeans who were grafted to the Catholic Church. Their West Syriac brethren that are in our Afroasiatic communion are under His Holiness Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, and there are Maronites grafted to the Catholic Church.
