2016 July 15th + 20th -- I SAID ! ! ! Happy Birthday
I'm only gonna do this once. This year.
In 1968, I had so many chigger bites from the blackberry pickin' with Grandma Katherine Newhouse and Great Grandma Maude Fuller, waiting for Fonzie to be born. Grandmas and Grandpa Thad Newhouse were from dry climates (Colorado, Nevada), and we were innocent of the critters here. When Fonzie arrived Monday 4 pm in Springfield, MO after Grands went home to Denver, I should have named her "Chigger". Her Daddie named her Fonda. (I don't think he ever had a chigger bite. I got them all). We were at Cindy & Larry's appt, folding laundry, when it finally started.
Then, two years later, again on Monday, Grack surprised us at 4 am, and at 6 he howled from the Houston, MO hospital. No chiggers this time, just that mad dash 40 miles to the hospital.
M y Na me iss G R A CC KK!
Monday's child is fair of face... and all those other things.

2016 June 20 -- Summer, longest day of the year
Been a really hot June... maybe now that the days will become shorter, it will start being cooler. Yeah, right. June 20, great sunset in the west, full moon rising in the east. Ozarks humidity standard. Sweat. Oh, pardon me, "perspire". No, "sweat"!

28 March, 2016 -- The Dance!
Just before dark, three B2 bombers silently danced around the western sky, before descending into the sunset and returning home to Whiteman AF Base in western MO. Their graceful contrails were intercepted occasionally by a straight and narrow airliner, but there were no conflicts. There is a lot of air up there, and it was a beautiful day for maneuvers.
A couple of the locals joined in the dance. They didn't conflict. |
Descending, before turning north and home to Whiteman. |

Jan. 20, 2016 -- Just a skiff
I think I'll go hunting for a bird. It's not that cold, not that deep... I've seen a few birds around!
Also, I'm the most prettiest thing out here today. |
I know they're out here. I just saw a thousand of them. Where'd they go... |
Where ARE they????

So far, by 20 January, 2016 .. a skiff of ice, a skiff of snow. |
