Solar Eclipse 2017

September 19, 2017 by shelley

Stages of the Solar Eclipse

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America was treated to an eclipse of the sun. We lived in the area of totality-not the absolute best like St. Joseph Missouri a few miles up the road but close enough that we could watch it from our driveway.  We did so along with our neighbors across the street.  We even gave our extra pair of eclipse sun glasses to the mailman since he did not have any.  As the eclipse progressed it grew intensely silent…not a sound…no birds or the usual buzz of circadia that we have this time of year…very eery!

(This is what we usually hear 24/7 in August around here!)

Election News November 2016

Election News November 2016

This election was a very strange happening…but I was taken by surprise when at the grocery store I saw a magazine lauding “Madame President”!  I thought I was dreaming but then realized this was the modern day version of the Dewey/Truman campaign election…

And our modern day version
