Daily News for Sunday, August 20, 2017
The Whitehurst Diaries: Dog Days, August 2017 'Greek and Roman astronomers reviewing the notes of their predecessors, added their own observations of August weather, linking excessive heat, drought, or violent thunderstorms to all manner of ills--lethargy, fever, human passions run amok, maddened dogs . . . Willis makes his rounds early each morning, keeping to the graveled circuit of the dooryard or clambering onto the retaining wall at the front of the house where he can keep tabs on our comings and goings.' Click on headline for complete diary entry with photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst I have never noted the presence of Sirius, the Dog Star, the harbinger of sunrise during the hot days of waning summer. Our farmhouse, situated at the end of a winding gravel lane, is tucked into a narrow valley between steep ridges. Oak, maple and ash crowd the slopes, blocking the earliest view of morning sun. Mist hovers above Spruce Pine Creek and drifts across a neighbor's field, shredding and dissolving as it reaches the comparatively open spaces surrounding the lower house and barn at the bottom of the lane. The 'dog days' have been identified from antiquity as a 'period of stagnation or inactivity' arriving yearly to stifle inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere.

Great Read for those who were teens of the 1980's and 90's By Ed Waggener Alan W. Reed sends a link to a story which will resonate with many teens of the 1980's and 1990's who are now rejoicing that the owners of Columbia House - the mail order CD club, have filed for bankruptcy. The story by Jack Hamilton is at Columbia House Offered Eight CDs for a Penny, but Its Life Lessons Were Priceless. Reed writes, "This happened to me and many other teens, it was definitely an early "life lesson." The "life lesson" was in the fine print in Columbia Club's too-good-to-be-true offers and the nightmares those who succumbed to enticing offers. - Anyone want to buy a time share? 2017-08-20 06:41:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
