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

One last bonfire, one last party, one last steak night, and this morning one last breakfast of hash browns made of left over steak night potatoes and eggs from Stevie’s chickens. The sun is a perfect brilliant ball completely illuminating the second window with orange red and purple. Rufus predicts it will freeze within a couple of weeks…maybe so. We will be in the mild Northwest, hoping daily for a patch of sun. If we make it back to Two Dot this year, the sun will have moved from window to window. We’ve seen it in the fifth window at the end of November. Maybe this year we will find out if it really rises in the last window on the winter Solstice. For now, we have to be satisfied with a good summer.
