And today (August 20) is Clear the Shelters Day, which reminds
me of Sarah McLachlan's ASPCA ad featuring her song Angel, and
Homeless Animals Day, and tomorrow (August 21) is
God's Preeminence Day, plus the moon now is like a fat salmon.
Note that I define my top-ranked deity Goddess as the ruler
of the region all/everything, who many call God.
But I think Seamus Heaney was Catholic (and August 21 is
also Poet's Day).
