It’s time to talk about books again. I’m reading When the Mississippi Ran Backwards: Empire, Intrigue, Murder, and the New Madrid Earthquakes by Jay Feldman. These earthquakes occurred at the end of 1811 and the beginning of 1812, centered on the fault that lies in the southeast part of Missouri. Three of the quakes would …Read More

Bits and Pieces on Memorial Day
This is a tough holiday. On one hand, we want to enjoy the time off by firing up the grill and having a big cookout with friends and family. On the other hand, we want to think of the friends and family members we’ve lost over the years. Like most folks, I have a lot …Read More

Since then, the weather has become increasingly hot …Read More

Passing on the Sunshine Award
Blogger friend Rayna M. Iyer at Coffee Rings Everywhere was kind enough to bestow not one, but two awards on my blog this month.
