a message from the blogger

I'm still trying to update Touille's blog so that there are no more dead links or links to sites that are not secure. I've had to delete a few posts which made no sense anymore. Touille is always on my mind as I update and read old posts.

Blessing of the Horses

At the animal blessing to celebrate St. Francis of Assisi Day, most animals were allowed to enter the Cathedral. The horses and police "attack dogs" remained outside in front of the Cathedral. The street was not closed off, so during the blessing of the horses, one automobile came driving right by, causing one horse to become a little skittish. But the blessings proceeded without a hitch.
