a higher fire is my desire

[somedayseattle]

Prior to becoming America’s Sexiest Cripple I had no reason to own a cell phone. Last year I got my first phone and basically it’s to call the Cripple Bus flapjacks. It’s a government issued phone but it serves its purpose. One slight issue is the screen goes blank after about five seconds. I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix that. After ending a call I have to tap the screen , type in the pass code, hit the button that says 'return to call' and then hit the 'end call' button. It’s about a three second process. It’s no big deal but once in a blue moon you hear the people on the other end before their phone hangs up. I just got off the phone booking a ride and the fellow I spoke with was new. I went through the booking and then told him a new Pope had been elected , We chitchat for a moment or two before I say goodbye. In the time it took me to hang up my phone I heard him say to a coworker “that’s one cool cat right there“

A new pope has been elected! My phone didn’t ring so I guess it’s not me. No Pope Chip this time around. Even though I view myself as an Apathetic Agnostic I’ve always been a fan of the popes as well as the amazing theatricality of electing a new one. I was a big fan of Pope Francis and John Paul II. I’m really looking forward to the announcement. I like the relaxed attitude Francis brought to the church and I hope they continue on that path for the good of mankind. We need someone sensitive and loving to counterbalance the hatred and evil our government is poisoning the world with.
