A Few October Pics

A few pictures that I took this month:

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a bench

Pretty even under the rain

Palouse driving at night

A view from our balcony one morning

Storm brewing on the Palouse

A tree south of E Street

The following were snapped while driving back from Recitations with Dr. Leithart:

A few shots from West of Paris:

This is what the range looks like on Friday night

Valerie's chocolate art

Otto, the man with the rose.

West of Paris, the perfect place to take time and smell the roses.
And the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, Happy Birthday Hilary!

Well, it was late...

And he started it!

Moscow's cutest waitress

German on the floor, sous-chef reviving his strength, the hour: late.

Because of a rather annoying law in Idaho which states that you must take a gun safetly course before you can buy a licence, I was not able to shoot this deer, though I looked longingly at it through the scope of our 30/06! I finally shot it with my camera...not as good, but it'll have to do.

A few shots from around New Saint Andrews:

Scott. He seems to know something I don't

A Trio of NSA Students

Kathryn & Hilary

Right before Declamations. We declamed Pooh Poems.

George: my favourite librarian

Nicea

A new term begins at New Saint Andrews! My Nicea term courses will be:

• Theology, with Dr. Leithart
• History, with Christ Schlect
• Music, with Mark Reagan
• Latin, translation of the Aeneid, with Natali Miller
• and Declamations, with Chris Schlect

Moon

I just took this picture with my camera. This is using only the built in zoom (which is 12x, plus digital). No telescope or tripod.

French or American

Some people say I'm very French (And, being French, I am fairly French), but I would also argue that I'm very American.

I guess that makes me 200 %

I hope you're having a wonderful break! (I am!)

Of Psalms, Pictures, and Mr. Merkles Truck

A psalm is the tranquility of souls, the arbitrator of peace, restraining the disorder and turbulence of thoughts, for it softens the passion of the soul, and moderates its unruliness. A psalm forms friendships, unites the divided, mediates between enemies. For who can still consider him an enemy with whom he has sent forth one voice to God? So that the singing of psalms bring love, the greatest of good things, contriving harmony like some bond of union and uniting the people in the symphony of a single choir.

A psalm is the work of angels, the ordinance of Heaven, the incense of the Spirit. Oh, the wise invention of the teacher who devised that we might at the same time sing and learn profitable things, whereby doctrines are somehow more deeply impressed up the mind!”

- St. Basil

c. 370 AD

aquired during research for my music paper, and an excerpt from www.danielfoucachon.com

and a few random pictures:

These, ladies and gentlemen, are escargots being sizzled to perfection at West of Paris!

A St. Andy's Chiasm

Daniel Alders, my perturbing photographic assistant.

Judah Merkle, whatafella

Mr. Merkle...one of the last pictures I took of him.

Rather random... I found it in My Documents and remembered that I wanted to post it:
Deborah and me with Aaron Shupe and the Rubberband at Trinity Fest.

And.... Last but not least, my new truck: I am now the proud owner of Mr. Merkle's, green, 34 year-old, ancient, beautiful, powerful, gas guzzling, heavy duty, Ford 72, 250, purrs-like-a-kitten (though asthma smitten kitten), stick shift, cool, etc truck. It's in perfect shape except for a few small things that don't work, such as: cd-player, rear-view mirror, heat, blinkers (at least not right one), odometer, speedometer, hand brake, etc.. :-)

It's so much fun to drive! Now I just need to figure an as-cheap-as-possible insurrance. (since I don't think I should trust it as my main car without investing a good bit into...which would be hard at present)

Blessings on your finals NSA Students!!
