We have dense fog this morning following the afternoon sprinkles, yesterday. It is right at freezing. The airport reports that there is .06 of a mile visibility. That is just over 300 yards (290 meters). I couldn't possibly see anything at that distance. I do not remember ever seeing the...

Sixty-seven years ago today: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper and the pilot of their small airplane died when their plane went down in an Iowa cornfield. Here is a poster of the event where they performed the night before. In the Crickets band at the time, Waylon Jennings lost the...

Toast with Strawberry Jam. Blueberries in the Yogurt ... Went out on the deck hoping to see the Full Moon. So foogggyyyy
