Savor West Virginia
Who remembers the Cold War and the idea of fallout shelters? I can remember as a child seeing the symbols posted inside public build indicating where the shelters might be located.

Today is National Hearts of Artichoke Day. Now I must admit, my original plan was to completely ignore Hearts of Artichoke Day. After all, I’ve done 3 postings since 2019 singing the praises of Artichoke Hearts. Just how much is left to say?

Kansas, like its neighbors, was hit with a massive drought that began in 1930, creating what would become known as The Dust Bowl. The effects of the drought was overshadowed by the plunging wheat prices and financial crisis of the Great Depression.
