Morning all . . .

32°, no wind, rain didn't show up, was able to see the lunar eclipse just before it was over, is just starting to get bright again.

Oh yeah, speed goats is the colloquial term in these here parts for pronghorns, or also known as pronghorn antelope. I guess some insist they are just pronghorns, kind of like Tatanka are not buffalo but really bison . . .

Does your cactus produce the fruit?

Morning. 37 degrees, cloudy, no air movement. There are freaking jonquils blooming in the yard. In 48 years in Wyoming, I have never anything bloom this early.

Yeah, they're technically pronghorn, and buffalo are technically bison, but mostly people just say antelope/goats and buffalo.

Roy said it was too cloudy this morning to see the eclipse. I've seen a bunch of lunar eclipses and two total solar eclipses. Our house in Casper was dead center of the 2017 Eclipse and my farm in Arkansas was dead center of the 2024 eclipse. It was overcast for the 2024 one, but the clouds opened just enough to frame the entire show. When it was over, they closed back up. Pretty cool.
