As I’ve got a few unexpected minutes to hand, I’m going to post some of the links I’ve been enjoying.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the Tunguska Event. Michael Cleverly has (page 42 of) the story.

The Practicing Catholic has some good words on the virtue of obedience. My favorite, from St. Francis de Sales: “The Devil doesn’t fear austerity but holy obedience.”

Apparently we can’t we be having any of that “abstinence” stuff—even when it’s been shown to be effective.

It’s all a matter of perspective. My congratulations to both the artist and the photographer.

St. Paul found to be Catholic. Who knew?

If I watched more movies, I’d want one of these.
