We inherited my mother’s cat; Summer and Alison care for her. I tolerate her and she hasn’t killed me . . . yet. I’d say this New Yorker cartoon sums up her personality.

Yes, I need to stop looking at www.weather.com and buy a thermometer and have someone from Illinois call me about what the weather is doing where they are.

Today, this very morning, I looked at the weather website to see if there had been any sighting of signs of spring. (That season after winter.) But this is what I saw:

And this:

And, then, this:

They had to reach back in time for this one – June, 2010. I knew this Jesus when he was the Jesus in front of The Church of the Solid Rock just to the east of I-75, north of Cincinnati. In fact, I knew this place when the church was being founded (built) and every time I went north on the way to Dayton or Indiana, a big rock sat there with a sign.

This statue became known as Touchdown Jesus and many, many, many photos were taken to highlight that theme. Then, one day, the statue was hit by lightning and burned down. An eerie skeletal steel figure was all that remained. I thought I blogged about it at the time, but I can’t find any posts – probably because I ignored my resolution to make my post titles more relevant.

Looking back at an article about the incident, I see that it is the Solid Rock Church and not, as I am wont to say, The Church of the Solid Rock. Pity, I think the latter is better.

I looked at the Solid Rock Church site and there is no picture of the replacement statue, but I did find one at their facebook page.

Well, enough of this. I looked out the WINDOW and right now the sky is blue, so I guess I’ll stick my head out. (Maybe film at 11)
