"LOOK WEST YOUNG MAN"
"Go West, young man," Indiana newspaper writer John Soule's 1851 advice, would be popularized by Horace Greeley and serve as the mantra for nineteenth Century American migration. Continuing the trend of westward expansion to the Appalachian Mountains in the eighteenth century, United States citizens as well as immigrants would migrate all the way to the Pacific Ocean by the mid-nineteenth century.
Well last night we"Looked West". Watched a decent sunset on Lake Murray. It was low forties and felt cold to me although I knew it really wasn't. Only a couple of wispy clouds marked the sky as the sun slipped over the horizon. The island was the only object in the image other than a very orange sun. Fortunately, it decided to come again this morning on the other side of our world.

Twenty seven this morning and it looks like some weather in Texas is headed our way. They talk about an ice storm here tonight late and tomorrow. Maybe I'll get some photo ops to share tomorrow. Our prayers go out to those folks in Arizona. For the rest of us, please don't make something political of the actions of a deranged nut job that starts shooting at people. Nuff said.
