Daily observations at or near Two Dot Spot, written by hand on the backs of postcards that record with ink and coffee a few minutes of the earth's orbit around the sun. The cards are physically mailed from Two Dot, Montana to those who have requested them...local to local. Ruth Marie Tomlinson

Birthday steaks on Richard and Alicia’s sun porch; Richard slowly emerging from the weariness of a long day ranching warmed to conversations and was as animated as you please. This phrase adopted from Rufus Kimmery is a perfect illumination, acknowledging the things outside of ourselves that give us particular pleasure. Richard’s presence in conversations does just that; four of us together, not always agreeing or even sure of what we think ourselves, but willing to listen and think and wrestle things out together as the sun goes down.
