The Winter Solstice happened right this instant as I publish this post, 22:37 EST 21 Dec 2023.
While the day tomorrow, the 22nd, here in IN, will only be less than 1 second longer, the following day will be 4 seconds longer! Whoopee! I’ll get the clothes off the line!
Below is a beautiful work of music played by Indiana’s Kade Puckett1 to get you into the spirit of the Season!
And, sorry, while I have CDs of his music, you can’t get them, no way, no how.2
I have a couple of Chestnut trees, but they are only about 10 years old and still not producing. But I have a friend with a farm that has producing Chestnut trees! Chestnut trees once covered the Appalachian Mountain Range, but were completely wiped out (by a fungus). And so too were the deer completely wiped out in Indiana by 1870 (by humans). The Whitetail Deer was reintroduced in Indiana the 1930’s, and today there are over a million of them!3 They come and visit me every day! Below is a picture of my friends from this morning.
So, who knows, maybe in another 100 years we’ll all be once again having locally-produced Chestnuts roasted over an open fire! (with our venison stew!)

Kade’s business manager (i.e., his wife) Tim(berly) puts all his music out on this download whatever thing here: https://kadepuckett.bandcamp.com/
Now, why Tim(berly) doesn’t get WITH IT and put out CD’s, I have no idea. That’s how I listen to music, on CD’s. I’ve tried to enlighten Tim(berly) about this new CD technology, but to no avail, she just doesn’t get it. I almost once started thinking that maybe I might be a Luddite or something, so I E-Mailed Darvin, my Amish metal-roofer friend, and asked him if he still listened to music on CD’s, or was already past that. He reassured me by telling me that they are still in the pre-CD age! Whoopee! I’m not a Luddite; not even an Amish!
This tells me that hunters are (hunting-wise at least) law-abiding citizens!
This month wolves were reintroduced in Colorado !
Yeah !
I might get another wolf this Spring/Summer.
So, like, seriously.
How long do you think it would take to download one of these albums with my 0.19 MB/s DSL download speed?
And then what, I supposed to carry around my computer with me to listen to Kade's music?
Just what universe is Tim(berly) living it ???
