Recently we learned that James Webb Space Telescope successfully reached its destination, far out in space well beyond our Boss Star, our sun. Lots of NASA talent and dollars launched this instrument on its journey last Christmas; now, it is sending back photos from its destination showing the early days of our universe.
George and Mary Loman were pioneers but very progressive for their means and how they operated in those early days without funds was viewed as a real accomplishment to the local historians. One can postulate why the community was eventually named after the Lomans and apparently just being one of the first homesteaders in the area along with a stellar reputation became the basis for its affirmation.
In hip hop culture, a grill is dental jewelry for inside your mouth so your teeth can sparkle with gold or diamonds. In a car, a grille covers an opening in the body of a vehicle to allow air flow. If someone is up in your grill, they’re confrontational. If you’re getting grilled, someone’s asking you a lot of intense questions.
It’s hot out there. Real hot. How hot? Well, it’s since the 1980s, each decade has been warmer than the previous one. And, since there’s not a big, concerted push to do much about it, you should expect the trend to continue. It’s going to be hot. Smoking hot. Like the end of “Raiders of the Lost Arc” where the guy’s face melts off hot. Like Icarus hot.
I usually let the animals speak for themselves, but Harper is a little shy so I thought I would help her out. The vet said Harper is a Lab mix of 7 months old and will only get to be about 35 pounds.
My reading the last month or so has been much more of the escapist variety. I needed to feel good and not have to think about anything in real life for a bit. Here are some of the titles I read recently. Titles written for youth do tend to be more optimistic and hopeful, so when I need some hope in my reading I will often turn to youth fiction. I selected The Patron Thief of Bread by Lindsay Eagar because of the title. I love that title. The book was a lot of fun. It was set in an imaginary medieval world with a young girl becoming a baker’s apprentice with gargoyles and street urchins and so much more.
56654 became their zip code and they indeed earned it The folks who talked about George Loman used reverential tones; held in high esteem by his neighbors. Historical portrayals described him at various times as “beloved,” “no man in the country round has been held in higher respect,” “a man of God,” “an honorable man,” “all that he saith cometh surely to pass,” “a good husband, a loving father and faithful friend.” George was born in Pennsylvania in 1851, he married his wife Mary in Ohio in 1874, from there they moved to Kansas where he was engaged in the newspaper and drug business.

This time of year, the days are long, and the weather is hot. Ahh, summer.
I’ve ruminated about Mrs. Ham since I read about her 30 years ago. Mrs. Ham lived in Fairland, Minn., an isolated hamlet in Northwest Koochiching County. It would be a long walk from Baudette: make sure you go left when you get to the Fiero Truck Trail because it’s a long way to Big Falls. From International Falls, it’s 20 miles to Loman and then west on The Black River Road. Originally it was named Feldman for one of its first settlers but later referred to as Fairland where a Post Office was located until 1936. There were so many folks and commerce in the Fairland area at one time that some sketchy historical accounts claim there was consideration given to Fairland when the Koochiching County seat was established.
