I don't think so. He's not looking for anything. Just rubbing all over it and the cabinets and windowsill and Shoving Things Off. Like a giant makeout session.
Puppycat does this. Annoying as hell. Rub all the things and knock anything down that she can.

Not really the Catholic church's strong suit.
I think of the actually possible candidates, they could have done a lot worse today. Which I expected when we got white smoke so soon. But maybe his more recent past and pontifical autonomenclature signals a better direction.
Also my uncle sent me a picture of his face Photoshopped onto new!Pope's body.
I need to tear out a grass shrub because it's a bad species to grow out here. Except I keep popping outside to see if I can see the comet and have, "That's invasive!" going through my head to the beat of, "That's racist!" I'm sort of ready for this brainworm to be over.
I had no luck trying to see the comet, but the crescent moon is pretty. As are the clouds that are probably in the way of my comet viewing. So it goes.
The moon is gorgeous. I don't even see clouds messing with my view but I also don't see a comet. Stars are pretty gorgeous too. And there's a whole different set of them out the front door. I usually look from the backyard because it seems more private and less likely to have other people in it. Because there is a fence.
I wish I could see the comet though. I like things hurtling through space.
There was a guy who couldn't see the comet but took a picture of the moon anyway. But the comet did show up fine in the picture. He thought his camera picked up infrared light from the comet.
No comet but I did see the space station the other morning.
Gloomy skies means we see lots of clouds. I miss Hale-Bopp, actually. That was impressive, and apparent for long enough to view between nights of inclement weather.
In all the talk about papal autonomenclature and Suzi being the pope, let's not forget that tomorrow is Pi Day!
This post brought to you by my Pi Day Pi Pies.
I was in Pasadena when Hale-Bopp went by, and I got the local news coverage of the Heaven's Gate deaths. Though I always did enjoy going out on the balcony and looking at that big smear of light in the sky.
Holy Jesuit Pope, Batman.
