As a result, by the time of Jacqueline and Blaise's death, many associated the Pascal name with heresy and instigation. Nothing shows this better than the Beurrier affair. Blaise was buried by Jacqueline's unmarked grave in Etienne-du-Mont, where Father Beurrier gave him his last rights…

In the end, the Jansenists lost. The Port Royal Schools for Children were closed, the abbey (Port Royal des Champs) ultimately torn down to its foundation. Here's a photo of the ruins!

They’re beautiful!
We learned that the hard way, too. Our sulcata tortoise got bored trying to dig her way out one year and decided just to break through the fence. The shell shaped hole she left behind felt rather Looney Tunes.

Live near Milwaukee & have a Marquette connection? Come protest the new union busting president’s inauguration with us. Thanks for the solidarity AFL-CIO!

St Petersburg, FL turned into a red district a few years back. Still, a few hundred people showed up on a hot Saturday afternoon for hands off protests.
(No photos of the event… keeping people’s faces off social media.)

Our pet tortoise escaped but we found her. Neighbors a few streets down got her into their yard to keep her safe until they could find the owner. ❤️

Here’s an annual reminder for Keep Christ in Christmas folks. Xmas is ChiMas, short for Christ Mass, where X is the Greek letter Chi, first letter in “Christ”: Χριστός
There’s no erasure. If you were a monk and had to write everything by hand you’d likely use abbreviations, too! The more you know…

Chicago’s Union Station is one of the few remaining old, beautiful train stations in the United States. The Great Hall is very festive this time of year. Five stars for the train themed ornaments.
