Pet peeves: most people
Fun random fact about yourself: There is nothing fun or random about myself.

Other possible pertinent facts: I attend the SSPX and am absolutely opposed to any agreement with Rome until such time that Rome returns to the Faith.
'Since Moses was alone, by having been stripped as it were of the people's fear, he boldly approached the very darkness itself and entered the invisible things where he was no longer seen by those watching. After he entered the inner sanctuary of the divine mystical doctrine, there, while not being seen, he was in company with the Invisible. He teaches, I think, by the things he did that the one who is going to associate intimately with God must go beyond all that is visible and—lifting up his own mind, as to a mountaintop, to the invisible and incomprehensible—believe that the divine is there where the understanding does not reach.'

—St Gregory of Nyssa

Although not very fun, isn't that fact a bit random??

Very glad to read this  :)

Thank you all for the kind welcome.

Seems more like the land of heat, humidity, huge bugs and tornadoes  ;)

The mountains are gorgeous though.

I see there are other Mets fans in the world.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Hahaha.  Well, yes, it is that, too.  I wanted to be a storm chaser when I was a kid, though, so the tornadoes have always been part of why I love living down here.   ;)

Greetings, Roland.
IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
