From the church calendar, we notice Rose of Lime, first person born in the Americas to be canonized by the Catholic Church, And King Louis of France - the only French king to e made a saint.  August 24 is waffle day; for literary birthdays this week we have Ray Bradbury and Edgar Lee Masters.  There's also something called "The Great Moon Hoax" - fitting for a week with the full moon shining through the windows!
