Today is the day set aside by the Church to commemorate the life of the great Augustine of Hippo who died on August 28, 430. Augustine’s last days were troublesome. He suffered from debilitating sickness and from troubling reports of the invading Vandals. His student and friend, Possidius, wrote of these days:

Save the little funny weird guy

I’m not usually sympathetic to “endangered species” (unless they’re human) but in this case, I admit I’m ready to do something. The axolotl is a type of salamander that spends its whole life in its larval form. And now they say that it is endangered (there are only around 1000 of them left).

Duane Garner posted this but I wanted to direct a bit more attention to it.
