The Aerodrome: Canadair CL-415 Superscoopers at Pathfinder Reserv...: CL-415 Superscoopers at Pathfinder Reservoir. They're fighting a nearby fire.

I first noticed this fire traveling to Laramie on Sunday. I hadn't heard of it by that time, but it was really rolling along.

Since then access to parts of Pathfinder Reservoir have been closed so that seaplane fire bombers can have unrestricted access to Alcova and Pathfinder Reservoirs.

Monday, June 28, 1909. Al fresco.

Due to a heat wave, President Taft had dinner for guests served on the roof of the White House's West Wing.

The President had gone golfing earlier in the day.

Cincinnati adopted daylight savings time for the summer, proof that the bad idea was around prior to World War One.

Casper wasn't in danger from Pathfinder Dam, which was good news.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
