Silas’ Journal Entry - Day 1 at Mystic Meadows
First day’s a wrap! Being a counselor is… a lot.
No complaints, though! I got assigned to the Ember Cabin. And let me tell ya, these kids are energetic as ****. I’m loving it, but it’s also a lot more responsibility than I expected.
We kicked off with some icebreakers and a small scavenger hunt, and these kids are already hyped. Amadee got assigned the Mist Cabin, and I think they just had a tiny conversation to get to know each other better. Boring, if you ask me. But it’s Dee. So I’m sure it wasn’t boring. Florian’s over with the Firefly Cabin, and Vee’s with him. It’s nice to see them here, that little kid is so fun. A little weird, but that’s exactly the fun of it. They seem pretty shy now, but I bet by the end of the week they’ll be running this place. A 13 year old camp counselor, HA
Not much to say now! Right now everyone is at the campfire getting to know how everything works, getting to know each other, yada yada. But it's fun. I think I’ll get the hang of this whole camp counselor thing soon. I’m exhausted, but in the best way. Tomorrow I’ve got sports challenges lined up. Let’s see if I can still keep up with these rascals.
Am I getting old?

John Henry Lewis (May 1, 1914 – April 18, 1974) was a hall of fame boxer who held the World Light Heavyweight Boxing Title (1935-38). The Ring boxing magazine named him the 16th greatest light heavyweight of all time. His trainer was Larry Amadee, and his managers included Ernie Lira, Larry White, Frank Schuler, and Gus Greenlee.
Though he had always abstained from alcohol, he worked as a liquor salesman for a Baltimore company near the end of his career.
He had two brothers who boxed professionally; Christy and Paul. Christy was a club fighter, who often appeared in preliminary bouts before him. Paul was a Middleweight who fought feature bouts during the mid-1940s, primarily in Oakland. On an episode of the PBS show Finding Your Roots, DNA analysis proved that Christy Lewis was actor and musician LL Cool J’s maternal grandfather who gave up his daughter for adoption.
He had suffered from emphysema and Parkinson’s. He is portrayed by Troy Amos-Ross in the Braddock biopic film Cinderella. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

It's Homecoming weekend here at #Mizzou. To celebrate, we have this cover from the program for the 50th Homecoming in 1962.* The illustration is by Amadee Wohlschlaeger, the Weatherbird cartoonist for the St. Louis Post Dispatch from 1932 to 1981. He drew covers for many of Mizzou's football game programs from 1959 until the mid 1990s. The figure of the football player is made up of the the names of all the All-Conference and All-American players Mizzou had up to 1962.

-Gary
*Homecoming started at Mizzou in 1911, but there was no football in 1918 due to the influenza pandemic.

Austrian Space Agency Starts “Mars Analog Simulation Mission” in Armenia

The Austrian Space Forum in cooperation with the Armenian Space Agency kicks off its AMADEE-24 Mars analog simulation in Armenia on Tuesday, March 12.

The future of FORTIS ... An exciting visit to FORTIS watches in Grenchen - Switzerland as I was shown two trays of early 1990s FORTIS chronographs, which after a few years of testing finally lead to the Official Cosmonauts Chronograph! FORTIS watches is looking to the future as the large Titanium AMADEE-20 chronographs are being tested during Mars mission simulations in cooperation with the Österreichisches Weltraum Forum. Morever, the original 1912 building will house the upcoming FORTIS museum in a large room formally used by watch makers, so we have to plan another visit by the summer of 2023...

These treehoppers are usually green as adults, but every so often they grow up pink. Their nymphs are white and fuzzy, and some years, like this one, very plentiful. When they hatch out of their nymph form, they briefly look like cabbage.
Coronado National Memorial, Cochise County, Arizona, summer 2024.
