Okay, it is gorgeous out today, but it rained hard most of the week and the ground is soaked.  The rain throws extra variables into the smokeless fire experiment, so I’m postponing it, again.  Sorry.

 

  

Also, my beautiful wife, a fourteen year cancer survivor, is a team captain, steering a Dragon Boat in the Dragon Boat Festival this weekend.  I’m spending the day with her, won’t have access to the internet and won’t be able to put out a quality, well researched article for you this week.

 

So, let me tell you what I plan to research and write for the next ten weeks.  In honor of America 250, I’m planning a series (including the smokeless fire experiment) of articles on life in the Wilderness of the Late 18^th and Early 19^th centuries on the Old Northwest Frontier of America.  I’ll be  starting with “The Life and Times of Daniel Ogden”, following by “Lost in Late 18th and Early 19th centuries...Lessons Learned”, and more.  So come back next week, and the rest of the summer, for more great content!
