Observations from Fredericksburg, TX
Book research done, Miss D. and I will be moving on today, heading for San Angelo, where Fort Concho was one of a chain of military installations that protected the West from Indian predations.

Here in Fredericksburg, I was very glad to see the National Museum of the Pacific War again. It was excellent when I first visited it about twenty years ago, and it's improved since then, with some new exhibits and changes to old ones that make it an even more immersive expe... read more

Since 2020, the clock has sat at ‘doom’s doorstep’ – 100 seconds from midnight. The ... read more
