This is a photo our friend Ed took of the Damn on Goat River. It's only about a mile walk from our home in Erickson. Spectular all covered in ice & icicles from the spray. What's even more interesting is that Tammy at the museum has written a book about it. "Electrified! The Stories of Electrical Power in the Creston Valley". She's author'd three other books as well. One on the grain elevators, a history book of the Creston area as well as a general histroy of the valley as told from old news paper articals. All four are available at the museum gift shop. Some great reads thanks to Tammy Hardwick who heads up the local museuem.

The Great Gatsby. I may regret saying this but I wasn't that impressed. Broken hearts, jealous lovers, drinking, a car wreck. Maybe I'm not able to distiguish between good writing and a story that strikes me as a little juvinile. There are just so many excellent contemporary authors. I mean how is it a classic becomes a classic? Does it somehow create a life of it's own after ending up on a high school reading list. Am I a philistine, totally missing a great read? Help me out. What's your opinion? |
