The world lost an angel today with Dolly’s passing. She was special and loved the Smoky mountains and its people among other things. We will always love you!

Happy Earth Day 2026 . Hard to believe it’s been 56 years since Earth Day was first celebrated. Mother, mother ocean, I can still hear your call…

It snowed today. Amazing to watch it and fun to walk in it. I suspect it won’t last long. Nice change of pace though.

Kristofferson was a great poet. “ He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.” And, “why me Lord? What have I ever done, To deserve even one of the blessings I’ve known” RIP Kris.

I’m really proud of Missy. Her Fulbright deployment for the US State Department begins tomorrow. It’s a big deal. msstate.edu/newsroom/article…

Sad day. Willie Mays was one of my favorite ball players. One of the greatest hitters of all time. And, his defensive abilities were unreal; the basket-catch was classic. RIP, Willie.

I remember celebrating Earth Day with other students in the early 70s. Back then it was our effort to right wrongs, and a protest against air and water pollution of air. I’m still celebrating 50 years later.
Boomers like me often do not accept change well. Heck, there’s a clock now in baseball. Good grief!

Rainy day. Nice to see the rain again. We need to recharge the soil moisture a bit. Might need an umbrella when I get the mail.

We had such a wonderful time hosting the Wood Magic Science Fair this week. About 4,000 third and fourth graders visited Mississippi State to learn about forestry, forest products, conservation and sustainability. Check back next week for class photos. #MSUCFR

Colored droplets in corn syrup seemingly blended together can be returned to their original state by reversing the direction of mixing, a form of laminar flow called "Stokes flow".
