When I first saw It's a Wonderful Life, I had a big problem with how it portrayed Mary in a world without George. An old maid!? Oh no! The Horror! Gimme a break, I said.
But this article makes a *very" convincing case that I was too hasty in my assessment and I got it wrong.

If Thanksgiving starts the Christmas season, it's not too early for this
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

I've shared on here before, why more cops do not and cannot reduce the murder rate in US cities.
I've shared that criminal justice reformers have known what does work, and has worked in dozens of US cities. It's now driving record low homicide in Chicago and Baltimore♥️🕊️
Now let's talk cop killings

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

It's got a cop motor, a 37-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

QOTD: Which dead car magazine do I miss?
Road & Track, of course. Yeah, I know, it's still here. It's just not the same.
R&T introduced me to Peter Egan and the Blue Ridge Parkway. And, later, on a road trip on that road, I learned that beautiful things are possible in this life. 1/2

Hmmm... My dad drove a Saab 96 back in the early 60s, in Houston, so I'm guessing a quirky engineer who wore glasses and smoked a pipe. He must've got caught in Rosco P. Coltrane's infamous speed trap on his way back from the Cape (Canaveral).

Has anyone done a version of this song as "When you're a vet...". It seems like someone should've done that already, no?
I mean, you hardly even need to change the lyrics.
