Making a Clock-Accurate Sundial
by Sam Muller
It's simple and inexpensive to make a clock-accurate sundial, and superior to mass produced sundials. Sam Muller's modern sundial is an amazing scientific tool. By its shadow you can read correct clock time, and also observe the effects of the earth's tilt, rotation, and changing orbital speed. Also, by the shadow cast on your now "moondial" you can observe the moon's counterclockwise orbit of the earth.

Dear Mad'm
by Stella Walthall Patterson
Dear Mad'm is the autobiographical story of Stella Walthall Patterson of her experience living alone, after age 80, with her dog Vicki on her mining claim on the Klamath River in the Siskiyou Mountains, near Happy Camp, California. She had until then lived a comfortable life in San Francisco, as a teacher, writer, and artist, but when her doctor told her she had "young legs" and good health, she vowed to spend one full year on her remote mining claim for solitude to write. Instead, she met interesting and endearing small-town characters and faced the challenges of rustic living—the story she tells humorously in Dear Mad'm.
