Like so many others around the U.S., Ekalaka Elementary students and their teachers took some time on Monday to view the solar eclipse. Locally, the eclipse started at about 10:26 a.m. and ended at about 1:09 p.m. The maximum eclipse was at 11:46 a.m., when the moon blocked around ninety percent of the sun. To see the total eclipse, Ekalaka residents would have had to travel about 230 miles as the crow flies, or drive 300 or more miles to a town like Casper, WY. All the elementary classrooms...

He always introduces himself to me; he doesn’t need to, I’d recognize him anywhere! I see people at the Firemen’s Barbecue once a year. They remember me, and I remember them, but not always their names. A more informed person fills in the blanks. I was to be at the table selling VFW Aux. quilt raffle tickets, but I was late. I travel in a large van, only rar...
Hello, By the time you read this, the eclipse will have passed. Hopefully you did not stare at the sun for two and a half hours so you can still read.

He will try to dig out gophers. He e...
