What am I supposed to do with this? Should I just smile and thank the people? Wonder if this thing will bite?
Wonder if they were out of bread and salt?
Better keep my eyes on this thing and not make any sudden moves!

"They think this counts toward the parish assessment?"

I can finally make those custom made cowboy boots! [ My reaction, exactly. And he'll have enough left to make me a pair, too! And, yes, as a matter of fact, I *do* wear my rattleskin boots in court most day. Leading to the caption, "what, you think the markings on my current boots are too much at the altar?"

"how come the Franciscans get asked to bless puppies and kittens, but when its *my* turn, . . ." "Uhm, did someone forget to pay the Taxidermist?" "if I pronounce it appropriate for Lent, maybe it wont't eat me first!"

Alexandr,
So, what's the story behind the photo? Inquiring minds want to know - or, at the very least, I do.
Many years,
Neil

LOL! The winter Pastoral conference was held this year in Miami Fl at St Vladimir's. The episcopacy and clergy were treated to a Everglade tour including a visit to a reptile farm, where the above photo was taken. The sight of several airboats full of bearded clergy would have been quite a sight! [ Linked Image]
