If not, I have a strong sense it'll land as significant. A goldmine of vernacular intelligence. Here, for example, discussing early encounters between settlers and N.

Why? @RichardRohrOFM: “I have been a Catholic all my life and I have yet to hear a sermon or confession concerning the tenth commandment. The only game in town, it is called capitalism, and we live comfortably because of it.”
