What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta

The headline: "More than 3m sign petition for Brexit do-over."
So what? Unless it can be shown that those 3m voted to leave and have changed their minds what's the significance of that petition? Why isn't it 3m people who voted to stay and just want another chance in hopes of a different outcome?
I have no idea which direction is the better course for the UK; it's probably way too complex an issue for anyone to know except in hindsight. And even then it will probably be debatable. But as Jeremy Clarkson said (using slightly saltier language), the decision has been made and now it's time to get on with it.

Last evening all the hens had returned to the coop and roosted for the night, with only Lucky still wandering around. I wanted to go sit in my chair with a cup of coffee so I tried to herd him back into the pen, and he took it as something of a throw-down challenge.
Have you ever seen a demonstration of the cutting horses cowboys use to separate a particular cow from the herd? It's amazing to watch the teamwork of horse and rider as they move quickly from side to side in response to the cow's efforts to get away.
So picture me, arms fully extended, doing the same in an effort to herd Lucky back into the pen. He moves to his left and I quickly move to my right, moving my arms and hollering at him. Then he shifts to his right and I quickly adjust by shifting left. Except that my left foot landed on a pine cone and slid further out than I ever wanted it to go.
The good news: a 65-year old male is still capable of doing something very close to the splits.
The bad news: that will pretty much trash something on the inside of his right knee. Ouch! And the full effects weren't felt until this morning. So now it's ice, Ibuprofen, and time, avoiding any bending of that knee if possible.
I'm just afraid this means the end to my plans for an NBA career.
Note: At that point I gave up and returned to spitting wood until Lucky decided it was time to join his harem.

And why are they called hummingbirds? They don't hum. They do hover, so they should be called hoverbirds.

This morning I did some background reading in "How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth," by Fee and Stewart. Good book, but they buy into the documentary hypothesis and source criticism.
Yeah, I realize that was a Bible nerd sentence, but I enjoyed the techy analysis even though I disagree with them. And that chapter reminded me of an appendix in Thomas & Gundry's "Harmony of the Gospels" on the topic that I want to reread.

Church this morning was better. The pastor made some odd comments, including that this summer would be critical for the future of the church and that the last two years have been the most difficult of his life (I think that's how long he's been the pastor).
For now we'll just be there and observe.
