Eclipse images
Another old photo, taken 10 June 2002 during a solar eclipse.
When light shines through leafy trees onto the ground or a wall, the little circles you see are images of the sun. And when the sun is (partially) eclipsed, the little circles become little moon-shaped crescents. Who needs protective eyewear?

Louise Pound
From the program to the "Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame 13th Annual Induction Ceremony," 24 September 2006, pg 4
Louise Pound was a pioneer among women athletes in the state of Nebraska, enjoying much success during her high school age years although never participating in structured high school athletics. Tennis and golf were her top sports, but she gained acclaim in figure skating, skiing, cycling, basketball, swimming, riding, and bowling. She was the captain of the University of Nebraska basketball team. She was Lincoln's best woman golfer for more than 20 years and in 1916 was the first state women's golf champion. In tennis, many of her championships came against all comers, including men. At one time, she was the top-ranked amateur tennis player in the country. During her 50 years as a professor at the University of Nebraska, she was a staunch advocate of increased opportunities in athletics for females.

2119 5th Ave
Labeled the "Gibbon's Bungalow" when Kearney photographer John Stryker photographed it in 1918, it shows many of the features of the Craftsman style: decorative braces and and abundance of wood trim. The many windows flood the rooms in natural light, bringing the outdoors inside. It was one of the homes
featured in the 1921 booklet created to promote Kearney.
It was built in 1918 by Cecil and Effie Gibbons on a lot they bought from John Gibbons Lowe and his wife Grace who owned the house to the north. It was later owned by Merle and Elsie Pierce in 1942, Wilma Imming in 1948 and the Bob and Lucille Cole family from 1959-79. Since then it has bee the family home of Vince and patty Wright. This house is pictured in the 1992 Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey.
From Historic Homes of Pioneer Park Neighborhood [of Kearney, Nebraska], Janet Fox, Bobbie McKenzie, et al. Why did I never notice any of these cool houses when I was growing up? This one is just one block away from my parents' house.
Sure, sounds good
At the coffee shop in Kearney, the girl taking my order asked me whether I would like "the whip and bean."
"Definitely," I replied, not knowing what might be coming.
Then she put whipped cream and a chocolate-covered coffee bean on top of the cup, and handed it back to me.
"Check this out, the whip and bean!" I told Gloria, and then took this photo.
