Good Morning Digital Neighbors!! Happy Monday to all you fine souls across the communities at Local's. I hope you all had a great weekend, autumn foliage has not yet popped here yet. The last month and a half has been so dry I am not sure we will have a very vibrant season. Time will tell. Prayers for all those effected by the severe flooding in our nation.

His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.
