When I was poking around on the internet looking at information on National Arts and Humanities Month, I came across some pretty cool links that, well, link letter writing and the humanities. I'm sure there are plenty more out there, but these are the ones I came across:
My Brilliant Pen Pal by the DePaul Humanities Center - this program allows people to mail questions to scientists, writers, etc. I don't know if the program is still in place since the last "brilliant pen pals" listed were for Spring. Still, it is a cool idea.
"I have now attained the true art of letter-writing, which we are always told, is to express on paper exactly what one would say to the same person by word of mouth." -- Jane Austen
penguy: Any signs of Spring, tulips showing, pussywillow out, and crocus here.

penguy: If a dandelion shows its yellow head my wife quickly grabs her dandelion digger and dispatches it! Ever had dandelion wine?

Gary S: We had 97.6% coverage in Checotah, OK. It was pretty cool. Literally. The temps dropped about 15 degrees and all the photosensitive lights turned on around town at the peak of the eclipse.

Steph Walford: Gary S I remember the total eclipse in 1999. Made these cardboard things to view it safely

radellaf: Clear view of 85% and no leaves to dapple the pavement in crescents. Had glasses. Meh. Anyone for Spain 2026?

distractedmom: radellaf, I regretted not driving the three hours to get to totality. I'm sure a trip to Spain would make me feel better.

allanorn: I'd rather not deal with my regrets, but if I have to I'll go to Barcelona to watch an eclipse to make up for missing out this time.
