Naturalist's Almanac: DECEMBER 26: KWANZAA
http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com/2000/12/december-26-kwanzaa.html
December 26, 2000. Most of our celebrations are so old and have such highly evolved traditions that it's difficult to remember exactly why we do what we do. The African American celebration called Kwanzaa offers us an opportunity to observe a new tradition in the making. In the year 2000, it is only 34 years old. Anyone who feels stressed by the excesses of Christmas and the New Year can learn from the values emphasized during Kwanzaa. Perhaps in inventing a new tradition, Maulana Karenga has invited...

Naturalist's Almanac: DECEMBER 24: NORTH POLE
http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com/2000/12/december-24-north-pole.html
December 24, 2000. DECEMBER 24: NORTH POLE. It's no wonder that during the Christmas season Santa Claus wants to leave home and travel around a bit. In December, the North Pole has to be one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. It's also cold as in totally frozen. Because there's no land at the North Pole, Santa had to build his workshop on ice. The polar ice pack is a jumbled mass that cracks, jams, melts a bit, and refreezes, creating a surface that's difficult to navigate. Furthermore, if Santa g...

Naturalist's Almanac: NOVEMBER 11: ST. MARTIN'S DAY
http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com/2000/11/november-11-st-martins-day.html
November 11, 2000. NOVEMBER 11: ST. MARTIN'S DAY. November 11 is St. Martin’s Day, a day devoted to Martin of Tours, a popular fourth century bishop known for his humility, charity, and kindness to beggars. Because November is a time of seasonal change, numerous weather beliefs have become associated with his saint’s day. Some of their new neighbors believed that pleasant fall weather was a gift sent by a benevolent god who lived in the Southwest. The Narragansetts, who lived in what is now Rhode isl...

Naturalist's Almanac: NOVEMBER 2: FLOOD OF 1927
http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com/2000/11/november-2-flood-of-1927.html
November 02, 2000. NOVEMBER 2: FLOOD OF 1927. I cross Vermont's Winooski River or drive along it almost every day and consider it a friendly river. But in 1927 it was decidedly unfriendly. That year was rainy, October was exceptionally rainy, and by early November the Winooski was ready to flood. The 1927 flood was so devastating that both state and federal governments became involved in local clean-up and repair. Some smaller railroads were eliminated, many dirt roads were blacktopped, and flood-con...

Naturalist's Almanac: DECEMBER 21: WINTER SOLSTICE
http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com/2000/12/december-21-winter-solstice.html
December 21, 2000. DECEMBER 21: WINTER SOLSTICE. The winter solstice occurs around December 21-22 every year and confronts me with a night that lasts so long that some primitive part of my brain wonders if the sun is ever going to rise again. At this time of year I walk up and down my road, looking at the sun from various angles and at different times of day, trying to understand textbook explanations of what’s happening. But why are the days so dark and the nights so long? Windows to the Universe. This ...

About Naturalist's Almanac: MY NATURALIST'S ALMANAC
http://aboutna.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-naturalists-almanac.html
A blog about my blog . Monday, October 15, 2007. My project began as a Web site called Naturalist's Almanac and Book of Days. But sometime in 2005 I decided I could work more efficiently if I created an illustrated blog with annotated links at the end of each post. My intention was always to give my information away as a free gift to those who share my interests, and the Blogopsphere seemed like a perfect place to do just that.
