Black Cat Bart - Weather Wizard



We’re getting sleet here in Olney this morning. It’s supposed to be in the 70’s F again by Sunday. My new theory is that Bart has attained a new level of consciousness, and is now in total control of Olney’s weather. Suddenly the last week makes much more sense to me.

Music at “The Goat” in Dallas

Memories: It was Friday, February 17th, 2017 - I was visiting with Ami Sue in Dallas, Texas while my truck was in the shop for a couple of days. She and her roommate took me out to “The Goat” where there was a band playing. I don’t know whether this was officially an “open-mic” night or not, but I had a harmonica in my pocket. Somehow - I honestly don’t remember how - I wound up on stage. Ami Sue recorded a couple of the songs that we played. This was the first. Thanks to “The Goat” and to the musicians who were playing that night for showing us a great time in Dallas!

Sundog - Sun Halo - Solar Halo in Olney, Illinois



Due to our work schedules, we had our Thanksgiving dinner with friends last night (Friday night, November 24th, 2023). I had never seen anything quite like this sundog / halo display that we witnessed just as everyone was arriving at our place. I’ll never forget it.
