Exactly two years ago we first learned of the recent Total Solar Eclipse of 2024. I then found Xavier Jubier’s interactive map of the track of totality. The nearest prime locations for us were either the Texas Hill Country or southwest AR. Ah, there is an all-Airstream campground in Hillsboro, TX. Ooh, and the path ..read more

Eclipse Day Day broke with the forecast changed from “times of sun and clouds” to “mostly sunny”. The early morning sky was so blue and almost cloud free. The sparkling wine was cold, ice was in the chest, and breakfast was coffee, followed by apple turnovers and Cook’s. We had chosen the right place to ..read more

I have written nothing since, whoo, six months ago. We have been planted in the Georgia mountains, for covid reasons I suppose. There has been nothing to write about to interest anyone. We are living life in an Airstream village where we know too much about each other. Long ago, when we lived in Shreveport ..read more

Kat and I made a lightning run from the Georgia mountains last week on our way to the southeast corner of South Dakota. We left the cat formerly known as Magic at a pet hostel and the Airstream remained parked at Top of Georgia Park. In a rented compact car we drove the 2,300 mile ..read more

Yesterday the Washington Post informed me that the all too recent WalMart shooting was this year’s 600th. Not for the whole world. Just within our 50 states. Our longest stretch this year without a gun event in which four or more humans got shot by one killer is six days. Yes, we have not yet ..read more

WordPress likes to change formats. They view them as improvements. We who write get no warning. A once friendly format becomes adversarial. Normally I write on Word and transfer it here. That was the way everyone did it for years and years. Tonight I tried to do it the way WordPress prefers: compose and edit ..read more

Life on the Blue Highways has had its fair share of very popular issues, some others that cost us readers, and many more that were just a collection of sentences, some with pictures. Faraday’s Cage, published April 20, 2013 has had more hits than anything else we’ve ever posted. And it’s not close. In that ..read more

Early last year we bought a package of brioche English muffins from not paying close enough attention to its label, but discovered that they make a pretty good burger. They are a bit too sweet to serve as the bread part of Eggs Benedict, but for tuna sandwiches or burgers, brioche is sheer perfection. A ..read more

There is a lot of unpleasantness being broadcast on national television and streamed live online these days. It is painful to watch and hear the testimony of those closest to the January 6 riot in Washington. The first episode featured those who defended the Capitol and did all they could to keep Congressmen, Senators and ..read more
