I bought some teal wellies for a field trip where I'll be tramping through a forest with a student. Then I found a nice teal sweater dress to wear with the wellies, because I just can't bring myself to wear waterproof trousers and a fleece top unless I absolutely have to  :o Looks a bit Glastonbury but it'll do.

For you Americans, wellies = Wellingtons, a type of boot. :p
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

What does it mean to look a little bit Glastonbury?
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.

Nice, I've looked at the scans a few times now.  What do you need it for?

Glastonbury festival is a big music festival here held every year. It's famous for getting very muddy, so a lot of women wear dresses and wellies. You probably know the Hunter brand more in the US.

Yeah. Finally have a vehicle again after the civic was totalled-while-parked (thanks DUI driver!). It's a 1999 Montero, lifted 2", 35" tires, ARB bumper, uber winch, and spray painted desert/high desert camo.

God help me.

Just to read it.  Before I bought it, I didn't own a hard copy of the Bible (I had been reading the Bible digitally, mostly through http://drbo.org, but I prefer using a hard copy, so I began printing individual pages, but I figured I should just buy one).  So anyway, I chose to buy this one because it seemed just as good as the Challoner (maybe even better) and I really don't have a problem with the archaic typography style.  One good thing about this version is that it has extensive notes in many of the chapters.  And it has timelines and charts and all sorts of other extra stuff.  The downside is that it's a facsimile so some of the text can be a little blurred and difficult to read (especially some of the notes that are at a smaller font size).

Is it appropriate to have the Bible blessed by a priest?

If there's a blessing for beer there could be a blessing for a bible

The 3900B.  So upgraded electrical components vs the 2900, but no built-in timer - I couldn't justify the extra $60 or so (I think it's less of a difference in the States).  I already have one of those outdoor plug timers so I'll just use that if I think I'll be away when the dehydrator has to be turned off.

It'll probably get here late next week, but I'll let you know how the first batch goes!
