I like patron saints. St. Jude is my personal favorite - I'm often in need of a patron of impossible things and lost causes!

Saint Christopher who is also the patron saint of lost causes...

See, I thought that was St. Jude. Damn, those Catholics are so confusing.

Saint Christopher who is also the patron saint of lost causes...

Actually, I think St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, isn't he?

It is Saint Jude- and, according to Dysphemist's link;

* Gregory Thaumaturgus
* Philomena
* Rita of Cascia

There are so many lost causes, there needs to be many saints on that beat...

Another is Saint Anthony- there are two, one of Padua, and one I forget. One finds lost things, and one takes care of runt piglets...

St. Barbara is the patron saint of artillery, artillerists and gunners.

Why is a woman supporting such a business?

It's a beautiful city.
They got good snow managment.
They got some really good restaurants.
They got more Mexicans than Los Angeles does, and certainly more Puerto Ricans.
There aren't any stockyards, anymore.
The gay bars are excellent
They got four seasons- sometimes all in one day.

On an annual basis, though, they have two seasons: winter and construction.
