Beatrice continues in her scientific and Scholastic explanation for moon spots by taking apart a secondary argument . . . and proposing an optical experiment.She voices an objection Dante might have: perhaps there are dense bits behind the rare bits that reflect light as darker spots because those denser bits are farther off.To prove him wrong (although he hasn't said a thing), she asks him to set up an experiment with three mirrors.Problem is, he doesn't need three mirrors for this experiment. But he does need three if he wants to show that the universe is based on a trinitarian concept of God.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at one of the more surprising moments in PARADISO: the call for scientific experimentation (perhaps to prove a theological point).Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto II, Lines 85 - 105.

I’ve been traveling around the country promoting my new book, “The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America.” And it’s true that the president stopped our country from being taken over by political Islam and the communists. But right now the Administration is dealing with a communication problem – and it could threaten the midterm elections. The American people are hurting financially – affordability is an issue impacting many families. And yet the administration seems to dismiss those concerns. We were told that it was basically our patriotic duty to pay higher gas prices. Now comes word that the republican party’s midterm convention is in trouble. Turns out – it’s going to cost and arm and a leg to attend. House Members are being told they must pay at least $25,000 to attend. And that’s the cheap rate. The highest tier is $100,000. Some are calling it little more than a GOP fundraiser – as opposed to a pep rally for the midterms. And the event scheduled just two days before the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Optics are everything. And the Republicans have a big time optics problem. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of the Rockcast features some of our favorite mule deer hunting guys, including Rokslide's Robbie Denning, Travis Hobbs, Corey Dixon, and the show co-host Jaden Bales. They talk about summer scouting, what they've seen this year, and bucks they've checked up on from previous years. They also dive into how someone in the Rocky Mountain West can find success when they're chasing pre-scouted bucks during the hunting season.  As every good mule deer podcast does, it also meanders into some old stories of the ones that got away and some that didn't to help illustrate points, too. The guys also talk about an ethical dilemma with a giant mule deer and a trail camera image that was shared. Then, they touch on some of the newest in optical technology with stabilized optics. Whether you're looking at the new Blaance optics from Swarovski or the popular Zulu series from Sig Sauer, the guys tackle the question: Are stabilized optics worth it? Stick around to the end of this episode, and you will find out. Whether you're a die-hard mule deer hunter or someone just hoping to increase the odds of success on your western hunting trips this year, there's something for everybody in this episode.
