I take LEAP YEARS into account.
This year is a LEAP YEAR.
So, March 17 this year,
in terms of days since Jan. 1,
is day # 76. If it had NOT been a Leap Year
it would have been day #75.
{Get that. Leap years make a difference}
Wow. Wow. Wow.
This is amazing. Yes, warmest winter ever. This is crazy.
If this hadn’t been a Leap Year this would have been Day #75!
First ever, of course, on St. Patrick’s Day. How special.
7 Pounds Of Corned Beef Cooked To Perfection, In A Pressure Cooker, For St. Patrick’s Day, 2024.

Well, cooking meat, in most forms, is something that I am fairly good at — better than most. It helps because I eat meat nearly everyday. SMILE. I am a meat eater — have been all my life.
My soon to be 18-year old daughter LIKES corned beef — but she ONLY eats it on St. Patrick’s Day! So, I make sure I cook corned beef for her. She only eats the meat. Not the cabbage.
Fairly new pressure cooker. First time I have used it as such, rather than as a crockpot. WOW. SERIOUS PRESSURE.
Thanks To ‘Donald Trump’ & China The NEXT POPE Could Very Well Be An American.

As you can see I did a post on this nearly 2-years ago! But, I still come across skeptics.
Yes, for over a decade I was in the FOREFRONT of those saying ‘No U.S. Pope’. But, that was then, and this is NOW.
The problem used to be the ‘Eastern White House‘ & the ‘Western Vatican‘, i.e., an American as Pope (in the Vatican) & a Catholic as U.S. President in Washington, D.C.
Well, John F. Kennedy, in 1961, overcame the first hurdle, i.e., a Catholic as U.S. President. We have now had a second, the current president ‘Joe Biden‘. So, that part of the problem, ‘Western Vatican’, is no longer a concern.
And now in 2024 the World (and with that many of the Cardinal Elector (Kenya’s shameless ‘John (Idi) Njue‘ always the exception) appreciates that U.S. is not the absolute Superpower it was once seen as being. Ukraine, Gaza, NATO, etc. have illustrated that there is theory and practice. Plus, there is also now China and to a lesser extent India. A U.S. Pope will not be seen as adding EXTRA clout to the power wielded by the U.S.
Simple as that.
