Hallelujah Junction

On a quarterly basis, I ask you the reader, if there is something you would like to learn more about or maybe its something you heard, but question its validity. So here is an opportunity to participate. I will do my best to answer any questions. It should be noted, it may take awhile for the answer to appear as a post. The primary reason, many of the daily posts are done nearly a month in advance. So by the time you read this I am already working on posts for the middle of February, or at least I should be. Whatever the case may be, I look forward to hearing from you. Of course, it should be noted that paid subscribers requests receive priority. In addition, you can always send a request at any time.

Odometer Day

Well, it is that time of year again, when a few years back I made my debut at Susanville’s now defunct Riverside Hospital. As is customary, this one day I take the day off from regular duties. Then again, I might take the opportunity to get a head start in the photograph selection of the 2022 calendar.

Calendar Update

When I announced the availability of the 2021 Calendars earlier this month, I included a note that it was probably going to my last one after all these years. After all the calendars go back decades when I supplied the historic photographs for the Lassen High School Graphic Arts calendar who produced the calendar.

Anyhow, in 2019, I cancelled my paid subscription to Calendars that Work, that was my source for the template. At that that I downloaded the 2020 and 2021 templates. Well, lo and behold, I happened to download a 2022 template. With that in mind, there will be a 2022 calendar, and so now the work begins on photograph selection.

Give the Gift of Lassen History

Wendel, January 26, 2020

Not sure what to give that special someone, but want to keep the budget balanced too? Why not a gift subscription to tipurdy.org. At five dollars a month it is a bargain. You can decided whether for a month, quarter or even splurge for a year.

The recipient not only receives a daily email notification of the latest topic, but is entitled to hard to find papers on the Eagle Lake Ice Caves, too. On top of that they can partake in members only tours varying from a summer solstice observance at an ancient solar observatory to the Inspiration Point Tour. Even if that person on your list is not local, they still receive materials associated with the tours.

In addition, don’t forget the 2021 calendar, and books, too!

Information on subscriptions is found right here.  Have a question drop me a line at tim.purdy@icloud.com
