A tale of two guys
“Where you from?”
Since I try to be sociable, at least when my phone isn’t getting good reception, I posed the question to a fellow in a clothing store in Charlotte Amalie, on St. Thomas, USVI. Tourists in the islands rarely ask one another’s name, since they’ll just forget it anyway, and there’s no use asking how anyone is doing.
In conjunction with World Space Week, the library is sponsoring a free showing of two space documentaries: Chasing Pluto: A Historic Journey to the Edge of our Solar System, and Invisible Universe Revealed. We hope you’ll take time out this Saturday to come to the Odeon at 1:00 P.M.

Over the years, I have probably accumulated 8 or 10 recipes for French Bread. Most of them resulted in a pretty good end product, but most of them were/are a bit “fussy” and time-consuming. Ever on the look-out for the ideal French Bread recipe, I happened across this one.

Samsung scientists who packed too much charge into the latest smartphones may be graduates of the “Duracell School of Battery-Making.” Who knows what happened, but my Uncle Mort--reaching into the deepest crevice of his unbounded wisdom--believes some of ‘em want to both “burn something as well as start something.”
The 104-year-old denizen of the thicket in East Texas continues to be a ...
Oh, my goodness, it’s raining and raining and raining. What a good sound that is. To the farmers and ranchers, it’s the sound of money in the bank and to the rest it’s lower electricity bills. It’s to my puppies, I can hold it, don’t make make me go out in it!
Guns Up!
Michael Grant, bless his heart, is upset. There seems to be a lot of that going around lately. Unless you’ve been marooned on a deserted South Pacific island like Tom Hanks for the past several years, you may have noticed this trend. People are unhappy. Michael, bless his heart, is one of them.
Michael has a Ph.D.
It’s wonderful to be able to continue the tradition of hometown festivals such as Old Yeller Day! Like any other event, Old Yeller Day takes planning, a lot of leg work, and good people willing to help. I want to thank them one and all! A special “thank you” goes to the Eckert Trust.
