Fr. Glenn: Choose
As is often said, crises bring out the best and the worst in people. We’ve seen this in spades over the last few week with the whole world scrambling with the COVID-19 situation—certainly a situation quite unique in most people’s lifetimes, especially in the so-called first-world countries. It certainly makes one appreciate modern medicine all the more and the eradication of so many deadly diseases in many parts of the world … as well as renewing our sympathy for those who continue to struggle with less-than-modern medicine.
In this time, two starkly contrasting personality

Española Valley
It struck me as odd when a lot of focus and attention was given to organic growing of food a few decades ago. It begged the question: Why are we actively poisoning our own food supply and how did we get here?
Living on a farm and raising our own food has always been our way of life. Granted, it was not a life that was glamorous and it was often ridiculed by people who saw it as a poor man’s way to live in the backdrop of new and fancy name-brand packaging. Our chickens always ran loose around our property and the sight of that activity

Home Country: April Fools Day Hoax
By SLIM RANDLES
“So how about this?” Dud said, grinning. “We get somebody to pretend to be an oil tycoon’s executive director or something, and we have him talk to Delbert about where to build the refinery.”
The other members of the Mule Barn truck stop’s world dilemma think tank looked at Dud and sipped coffee and silently shook their heads.
“Okay,” Dud said, ”and why not?”
“Won’t work,” Steve said, brushing sweet roll crumbs off his walrus moustache.
