Dear "Ralphie Boy" a.k.a. "Joe Citizen" a.k.a. "Little Joey" a.k.a. "Madman" a.k.a. "A. Nonymous" or whoever you really are:

We are in receipt of your most recent vitriolic and threatening communique.  We find it to be a boorish 
repetition of your angry, malicious, unsubstantiated, unproven accusations against an honest man in our community who carries more integrity in his little toe than you carry in your big fat skull.

You have sent us a total of eight (8) such comments now.  None of them have been fit to publish.  Why you think Hermann Hearsay will publish your lies, half-truths and innuendos without persuasive corroborating evidence is beyond my ability to comprehend!

Give it up, "Ralphie Boy"!  Take your lies, half-truths and innuendos elsewhere.  We are not interested in the obsessive-compulsive rantings of a lunatic!  Your comment(s) will not be published here.  We are ignoring you and your false accusations completely.  Maybe you can get your buddy "Ed Norton" to send us the next comment!

Three days after the "Blizzard of 2011" hit Hermann, snow-covered mountains are springing up all over town.  I call these snowy mountains the "Hermannlayas".

Here's another "oldie but goodie"  .... "Mama Said" performed by The Shirelles.  This performance by the Shirelles was presented in 1963 as part of an award winning short film screened at Sundance and in the Official Selection at Cannes. This short film directed by Mike Costanza shows images of the racial turmoil of the times in America. Here are The Shirelles ... Lyn McDonald, Karen Hawkins, Lorinda Hawkins, and Crystal Justine.

Normally we post a quote by a "famous" person in this daily 
spot.  Today we are posting many quotes by ordinary citizens of Cairo, Egypt.  These quotes were gathered by the Reuters news organization and posted on the Reuters website this morning.  I think the quotes give us a feel for the range of opinions regarding the protests in Cairo as expressed by the "protesters" and by "ordinary Egytians".

CAIRO

Fri Feb 4, 2011 9:33am EST

CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters massed in Cairo's Tahrir Square Friday calling on Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak to quit, while others were desperate for protests to end.

Here are quotes from both sides, starting with protesters, as well as from other parts of the country.

* Denotes new quotes.

CHANTS IN TAHRIR AFTER FRIDAY PRAYERS

"The people want the fall of the regime"

"Leave, leave, leave"; "Join us, join us"

"We want the murderer to be tried"

"The army and people are united"

AHMED KHIDR, 27, MOBILE PHONE SHOP OWNER AND PROTESTER

"Why should we go now? I'll be a fool to leave after all this murder and this sabotage. I have been in Tahrir for four days. I don't understand, why doesn't he get, he needs to go.

"We don't want ElBaradei either, and I don't want the Muslim Brotherhood but I want a transitional government that will give us time to prepare for a truly free and fair election. If Mubarak loves Egypt, he should go."

ABDEL HALIM MOHAMED ALI, 62, TECHNICAL SCHOOL TEACHER AND SUPPORTER OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

"I will not wash, and I will not take my medicine until he leaves. We need freedom, all freedoms. Omar Suleiman is good as long as he leads a temporary government. We welcome anyone who leads a temporary government even (Coptic) Pope Shenouda."

METWALY FARGHALI, 32, PROTESTER

"We are not going to leave the square. We want the army on our side but the army must realize the people's revolution is here to stay."

There are two additional pages of quotes.  To read all the quotes obtained by Reuters click on MORE QUOTES FROM EGYPT.

Bible Verse Of The Day - Friday, 2/4/2011

The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. – 1 Timothy 1:5-7

Just because someone speaks confidently doesn’t mean that what they are saying is Scriptural true. Paul is warning Timothy to watch out for this danger, which is as real today as it was back then. In a day of sound bites, it is every believer’s responsibility to not allow personality to cloud the reality of the Bible. This is not to become mean spirited critics ourselves. Our goal is that the faith would be known for a lifestyle of purity, no hidden agendas, and what is truly and deeply felt. When this happens we see God’s love exhibited.
