Ono Almanac: June 2016
http://onoalmanac.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Snips and snaps of bits and pieces from Ono County. Thursday, June 30, 2016. Poker and Ace found a home on our sofa. The politically correct term is rescued animals though I'm not sure where that business originated. I suppose it must have come from shelters that help to provide homes for pets others no longer want or who can not provide for their care. They are chipped, have been neutered, and get their shots on a yearly bases. They will not endure cats or another dog near our house. We hope the...Pest ...

Ono Almanac: Granny's Tools
http://onoalmanac.blogspot.com/2016/11/grannys-tools.html
Snips and snaps of bits and pieces from Ono County. Friday, November 18, 2016. This past week we've been working on a selection of photographs for a showing: The Mechanics of Composition: a study of machinery. I suggested the theme, having in mind the working word "composition" and my friends threw me a spanner. They focused on the machines, which is hard work because it pushes one to use creativity and acrobatics to make a decent photograph. Physics defines " work. I was giving Nash fits climbing around...

Snips and snaps of bits and pieces from Ono County. Monday, May 30, 2016. The last Monday in May is a time of remembrance to honor those who died in military service to the United States of America. Through out our country American flags are placed on military graves as a reminder to all of their final devotion. The main flag in public places is rapidly raised to the top of the pole and ten dipped to half staff position for the remainder of the day as a salute to ' these honored dead. Racing can be Deadly.

Ono Almanac: Just for Today
http://onoalmanac.blogspot.com/2017/01/just-for-today.html
Snips and snaps of bits and pieces from Ono County. Saturday, January 7, 2017. One of our resolves for 2017 is to clear the cave of all the random files, papers, and notes that have accumulated over the years despite our best efforts to the contrary. Just for today I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life's problems at once. Just for today I will improve my mind. I will read something that will require effort, thought, and concentration. Just for today I will be unafraid. Es...

Ono Chronicle: October 2016

Ono County where murder and ghosts are a way of life. Wednesday, October 5, 2016. My ears are still pounding with the roar of stock cars streaming around in circles. Dirt track racing at its brutal best when all the local favorites hit the track on a Saturday night. The clanking and banging of the presses when we put the paper to bed is a quiet peaceful interlude compared to when 33 cars battle it out on a dirt track for a case of oil. I let Jim Young talk me into accompanying him to a racing event.

Snips and snaps of bits and pieces from Ono County. Sunday, July 24, 2016. Bridge Over Greasy Creek. Bridges allow people and vehicles to cross rivers, creeks, gullies, etc. and have existed since early man didn't want to get his feet wet. There have been four bridges over Greasy Creek, all in near the same general location. Foundations of the first bridge are still visible on the banks, but the second bridge is the unique structure. Down a short lane, abandoned to general usage is a curved bridge. If yo...
