I need to write a more formal review, but the Garmin Instinct 2S is the watch I didn’t know I needed. Simple “normal” watch with all the health tracking, cycling, and hiking features I could ever need.
Looking at the requirements for the Ordinariate and Pastoral Provision, it sure seems like Rome isn’t exactly serious in her call to reconciliation with the English church. Sad given Venite ad me. So much good could come…
