Hail Satin
or
Attack of the Morons
Some idiots desecrated the shrines at Holy Hill, home of the143-year-old National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, just west of Milwaukee. One of the slogans read "Hail Satin," which attests either to the vandals' fondness for a fabric or to their intellectual capacity. The perps have been caught...and they don’t look or sound like they escaped from a Mensa meeting.

Graffiti removal experts are already on the job...
Contributions to help pay costs of the graffiti removal are being accepted. Checks payable to Holy Hill can be sent to:

We were just talking about Holy Hill the other day. I think the last time we were there was right before Rick’s big pheo surgery about 10 years ago. It’s time for another field trip...as soon as we have a vehicle that can safely leave the county. Fall would be good...it is so beautiful there in fall. My immediate plans are finding a way into the city for King Tut and the new frog exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. I take that back. Those are short term plans. My immediate plan is to find the Field Museum membership card that is most likely in one of the free-floating stacks of mail all around the house.
