I had a choice of a brown-dyed, white, or grey concrete statue. Got the
grey one because I thought the other two were garish. The old boy is 30
inches tall and weighs about 60 or 70 lbs. Got a shovel and bouquet of
flowers so he's a true Fiacre.
Have hear two pronunciations, Fee-Aker and Fee Ak ray. Next time I see
Father Guido from down at Anne's church I'll ask him. He's Italian and has
been a priest for about a hundred years, he should know.
George, who bought a round volcanic rock today, about 12 inches in
diameter, for 5 bucks. Don't laugh, there are no rocks in Louisiana unless
they're imported.
