(The latest bounty of nature. The limbs down on the fence are residue of a more severe event). Splash said his brother used to live in Arizona, close enough to Flagstaff for a few bright lights and equidistant to the cliffs that mark the seemingly endless plunge down to the floor of the Grand Canyon.

Today is an anniversary of a demonstration on Capitol Hill. It was a fairly big deal, though not as severe as other historic events in the location which we will address in a moment. But the true significance of this date is the opening to the campaign that will result in the mid-term elections this […]

The Chairman sent one of the Interns down to the Fire Ring this morning to say we were advancing up the list of those without power due to Winter Storm “Frida.” We think that is the name, but after the new back-up generator failed around sundown last night- that would be Monday, for many of […]
