Friday morning

Rob opened the back sliding door and stepped out onto the wooden deck.

He squeezed the remaining contents of the Chef cat food packet into a metal bowl that had been left behind in the surgery for syringing ears. He dimly made out movement in it. Ants. He quickly scooped it into another plastic bowl that had been soaking in water. The cat continued to eat from the metal bowl. It's natural he thought and looked up at the stars. Gamma Velorum was visible to the East. A quadruple star system in the constellation Vela. Regor was up there too.  Spelled backwards it reads Roger. A bit of a joke invented by Gus Grissom, an Apollo 1 astronaut. He supposed they have a lot of time on their hands up there.

It is estimated to be 1096 light years from Earth. He mused that the first Crusade was getting underway when the light he was seeing left the star. They massacred thousands of Jews on the Rhineland on their way to the Holy Land also in that year. War has no good side.

Rob was chuffed to receive positive feedback for his comment on Trent Horn's page. It was rather a long comment and the love hearts gave him a buzz. He didn't expect love hearts for this blog, however. For some reason he couldn't fathom, lapsed Catholics and heretics who had renounced their faith, couldn't stomach Catholics who hadn't. As Trent Horn had said in the video "I'd rather be a naive member of the elect than a calumnious member of the damned". 

Have fun but don't sin.
