Why is the setting sun so red in northern New Hampshire?

Image
By

 It is approaching 7;30 PM in the north country, and the setting sun is bright red. Why? Because when the sun is low in the sky, light has to travel through more of the atmosphere before it reaches our eyes. And particularly right now, the air is filled with smoke from the wildfires rampant in Canada.


The short answer is that the large molecules of smoke disperse light in such a way that the color red becomes more prominent. In effect, air polution becomes a light show - close to sunrise and sunset.

Curiosity is what separates the young from the old. Don't lose your curiosity, Don't leave the kid in you behind. Know the world around you and be aware of your surroundings. The rewards are many.

    I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescribed medications and treatments, but unfortunately, my symptoms continued to worsen. My breathing became more laboured, I experienced frequent coughing fits, and my energy levels started to decline rapidly. Last year, feeling desperate but hopeful, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real improvements. My breathing became easier, the coughing subsided, and, incredibly, my energy returned. It’s been a life-changing experience. I feel more like myself again better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I highly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at www.naturepathherbalclinic.com

    My name is Craven, and I’m from New York. I used to suffer from COPD, and I want to share my story to show that healing is possible, even from illnesses that seem incurable. I know how difficult and frustrating COPD can be because I lived through it. Conventional treatments didn’t bring the results I hoped for. But everything changed when I came across (www. earthcureherbalclinic .com) through a simple Google search and contacted them by email at (info @ earthcureherbalclinic. com). Their natural healing program made a profound difference in my life. Today, I am completely free of COPD, and I couldn’t be more grateful!!

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

By
 We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely.  I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby:  25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players.  and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
