Google “water plant in Springfield, Ill. had been damaged” as in the Wash Post story about Russia-located hackers getting into a control system, and you find that Chicago papers have nada.

I did find an interesting piece in the online Trib about “feral swines” [sic] and the harm they do, however. Yes, swines are troublesome, but the mooses are no bargain either.

Jan. 1, the “Anglican ordinariate” is coming to the U.S. It’s Vatican-approved and -affiliated Anglicanism, maybe to a parish near you. Its priests and people will bring “the Anglican patrimony.” A few of the good things they bring:

1. Good hymns 2. Good education 3. Good sense of self deprecating humor 4. Good taste in dry sherry 5. Good understanding of the importance of lace and incense 6. Good literary sense 7. Good boost to the Western tradition 8. words like “vouchsafe” 9. good Choral evensong 10. good knowledge of architecture 11. good Englishness 12. good sense of the need for Evangelization. 13. Good missionary spirit. 14. Good hats 15. Good down to earth spirituality.

Dry sherry? Not the wet kind?

And reduce their buying power.
