Youths with poor hygiene habits

Oh no, hold on a second. 
It's Ash Wednesday!

I'll never forget my surprise on my first Ash Wednesday in Ireland twenty three years ago, wondering why so many people were cleaning chimneys, working on the engine of their car or smearing cigarette ash all over themselves. 

Please check this year's participants to my yearly Ash Wednesday project. They were a particularly pleasant bunch. Great chats. Too little time unfortunately...
