Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Times Square, NYC.

I visited this church during a vacation in NYC in 2022. Saint Mary the Virgin is an Episcopal parish in the Anglo-Catholic rite of the Anglican Communion in the theatre district. Lovely architecture and liturgies and from my experience a very inclusive environment too.

Anemones at the National Aquarium. Baltimore, MD.

Original photo by me. Taken with Nikon D3400 and edited with Lightroom. These anemones were awesome and I knew I had to get a closer look.

Today is the feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe

Maximilian Kolbe was a Catholic priest and Conventual Franciscan killed at Auschwitz. He chose to die in place of a Polish soldier who was initially selected by SS to be killed. Despite initially holding antisemitic views, he nonetheless hid Jews in his friary from the Nazis. See the link above for more information about him. With all the injustice in the world, he seems like a relevant saint for our times.

Ted Bundy could've watched the inauguration of President George H.W. Bush, but could not have listened to Straight Outta Compton by NWA.

Anyone remember VHS head cleaner?

I believe some of us were still watching VHS tapes at some point, even though some of us also had DVDs too. I still remember my parents putting the Scotch VHS cleaner tape in the VCR and watching this. I'm glad I found this on YouTube. It unlocked a core memory for me.

Familiar places with alterations

I mentioned this in a previous post on here, but I've had dreams where I'm somewhere that looks familiar but there are alterations to it. Just last night I had one where I was in what looked like a branch of my local library that I go to a lot but there were alterations. It looked familiar, as did the surroundings, but I also noticed a lot of additions that aren't there in real life. I think there was a storm going on and the lights were flickering on and off.

This is not the first and I don't think it will be the last time I have a dream like this. But I'm curious to know, has anyone else had dreams about familiar places that were altered from what they are in real life?

Historic Jessops Church. Baltimore County, MD.

I took this photo a few days ago. I saw this on Google maps and even though I'm familiar with this area, I did not discover this church until recently.
