THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND, and Other Short Novels by William Hope Hodgson. (Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1946) Cover art by Hannes Bok. 3014 copy edition.

‘The House on the Borderland is unique in several ways. The narrative itself is a double-frame narrative: the editor of the volume is presenting a manuscript he found under mysterious circumstances, describing the account of two fishermen who themselves discovered a hand-written account of the cosmic haunting of a recluse’s remote home.

Additionally, the novel is one of the earliest examples of the departure of horror fiction from the Gothic style of supernatural, psychological hauntings, to more realist, science-fiction/cosmic horror themes. The recluse is, among other events, transported to a mysterious supra-universal plane populated by monsters and elder gods; and his house withstands assaults from legions of monsters as he travels across time and the solar system.

The book was very influential on H. P. Lovecraft, who himself was famous for the cosmic horror themes in his work. The concept of an uncaring, and even evil, universe that Lovecraft found so disturbing is front and center in this supremely strange novel.’

I feel like an idiot for saying this out loud every time I do, but, knowing that this is not a total solution, I do believe a major way to effect reindigenization from the ground up in the United States would be to put indigenous languages on the roadsigns and the government paperwork and the like, in accordance with the people who lived there before expulsion. Here in Michigan, this would be complicated by the close continuity of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawotami as Anishnaabe languages, each written with separate transcription schemes, but in the unlikely event of it coming to pass, that could be worked out with tribe and band governments working together to develop the best practices.

It gets impractical in large states like California, perhaps, and of course there are some complicated histories- how to handle Othaakiiwaki (Sauk) and Meshkwahkihaki (Fox or Meskwaki) history of habitation within what is now Michigan during their period of westward migration under pressure from the Wendat during the period around contact? Although their centers after the end of that migration were in what is now Wisconsin, the history is meaningful. But I think that directly making indigenous languages part of the direct, material world of the senses for anyone and everyone living in the USA is a valuable and restorative thing.

"At first, we can imagine that the local people will be puzzled by the bereavement counselor's claims. However, the counselor will tell a few of them that the new technique is merely to assist the bereaved's community at the time of death. To some other prairie folk who are isolated or forgotten, the counselor will offer help in grief processing. These lonely souls will accept the intervention, mistaking the counselor for a friend.

"For those who are penniless, the counselor will approach the County Board and advocate the "right to treatment" for those unfortunate souls. This right will be guaranteed by the Board's decision to reimburse those too poor to pay for counseling services.

"There will be others, schooled to believe in the innovative new tools certified by universities and medical centers, who will seek out the bereavement counselor by force of habit. And one of these people will tell a bereaved neighbor who is unschooled that unless his grief is processed by a counselor, he will probably have major psychological problems in later life.

"Several people will begin to contact the bereavement counselor because, since the County Board now taxes them to ensure access to technology, they will feel that to fail to be counseled is to waste their money and to be denied a benefit, or even a right.

"Finally, one day the aged father of a local woman will die. And the next-door neighbor will not drop by because he doesn't want to interrupt the bereavement counselor. The woman's kin will stay home because they will have learned that only the bereavement counselor knows how to process grief in the proper way. The local clergy will seek technical assistance from the bereavement counselor to learn the correct form of service to deal with guilt and grief. And the grieving daughter will know that it is the bereavement counselor who really cares for her, because only the bereavement counselor appears when death visits this family on the Prairie of the Sauk.

"It will be only one generation between the time the bereavement counselor arrives and the disappearance of the community of mourners. The counselor's new tool will cut through the social fabric, throwing aside kinship, care, neighborly obligations, and community ways of coming together and going on. Like John Deere's plow, the tools of bereavement counseling will create a desert where a community once flourished.

"And finally, even the bereavement counselor will see the impossibility of restoring hope in clients once they are genuinely alone, with nothing but a service for consolation. In the inevitable failure of the service, the bereavement counselor will find the desert even in herself."

-John McKight, The Careless Society: Community and Its Counterfeits

Climate of Missouri

See Weather Forecast for Missouri today: https://weatherusa.app/missouri

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/05/weather/texas-rivers-flooding-rain-forecast/index.html

Missouri's geography varies widely across the state. North of the Missouri River, the land is gently rolling with fertile plains and well-watered prairie country, reflecting its glacial history. South of the river lies the Ozark Mountains, dominating a large portion of the state's landscape. With the exception of the extreme southeastern corner, including the Bootheel, and areas along the western boundary, this region is characterized by rough and hilly terrain, deep valleys, swift streams, and abundant caves and natural springs. Elevations range from 1,000 to 1,400 feet (300 to 425 meters) above sea level, although near the western border, elevations rarely exceed 800 feet (250 meters). Taum Sauk Mountain, located about 90 miles (145 km) south of St. Louis, stands as the state's highest point, reaching 1,772 feet (540 meters) above sea level. In far southeastern Missouri, a part of the alluvial plain of the Mississippi River features elevations below 500 feet (150 meters). Near the southwestern edge of this region lies the state's lowest point, where the St. Francis River flows into Arkansas at an elevation of approximately 230 feet (70 meters).

The St. Francois Mountains in the eastern Ozarks are characterized by igneous granite and rhyolite outcroppings, adding a unique geological feature to Missouri's landscape. In contrast, the remainder of the state is primarily underlain by sedimentary rocks, including limestones, dolomites, sandstone, and shale.

Missouri is generally considered tectonically stable, with only occasional small earth tremors occurring, particularly in the southeastern portion of the state. However, there remains a possibility of another devastating earthquake similar to those centered at New Madrid in 1811–12. While the likelihood of such an event is uncertain, the potential impact underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and preparedness efforts in the region.

Missouri's diverse geography and soil conditions facilitate farming across all its counties, although the Ozark Mountain region primarily supports livestock and poultry farming due to its thin soil. The northern part of the state benefits from rich glacial and loessial soils, contributing to its agricultural productivity. Additionally, the extensive alluvial soils in the bottomlands along rivers and streams further enhance farming potential in Missouri. The Missouri River, which drains most of the state, plays a significant role in its drainage system.

Artificial lakes, created by damming rivers and streams, are a notable feature of Missouri's landscape. The Lake of the Ozarks, formed by the Bagnell Dam on the Osage River, stands out as one of the largest man-made lakes in the country, offering both hydroelectric power generation and recreational opportunities.

Missouri's climate is influenced by a combination of cold Canadian air, warm Gulf of Mexico air, and drier southwest air. Summer winds typically blow from the south and southwest, while winter winds originate from the north and northwest. Precipitation, crucial for crops, varies across the state, ranging from around 35 inches (890 mm) in the north to nearly 50 inches (1,270 mm) in the extreme southeast. Missouri experiences about 25 tornadoes annually on average, owing to its location on the edge of Tornado Alley.

In terms of plant and animal life, Missouri boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna. While forests cover about one-third of the state, much of the original prairie land has been converted for cultivation. Nonetheless, efforts by governmental and nongovernmental organizations have preserved scattered prairie remnants. Missouri's state parks harbor numerous plant and animal species, including over 100 species of fish, 200 species of birds, and various mammals. Historically, large animals like elk, deer, bison, and bears were abundant, but their populations declined due to European settlement and agricultural expansion. However, conservation efforts, such as restocking programs, have led to the recovery of certain species, including deer, which now number close to a million in the state. Additionally, Missouri is home to a small population of bears that migrated from Arkansas, although hunting them is prohibited.

History and Recreation on the Mountain Loop Highway:

Assignment one rewrite

Snohomish County, February 6, 2023 – Located in the foothills of the North Cascades the Mountain Loop Scenic byway is a 52-mile Washington state highway in Snohomish County. 

It’s a popular weekend getaway for people from across the state. Spread out next to the Sauk or Stillaguamish Rivers and breath in fresh fragrances of pine sap and maple tree bark.

Checking in with visitor information receptionist Erika Morris at the Darrington information center, the Mountain Loop Highway is a great highway/byway to begin venturing outdoors. Its history rests in lumber harvesting, old mining camps and railroads.

“The Mountain Loop Highway is just that; a Highway” she said. Most outdoor hiking, biking, camping trails are owned and maintained by the National Forestry Service. We maintain the nature area and public trails for recreation, hiking and camping. The actual name comes from the state-owned highway.

The Mountain Loop starts in Granite Falls, connects to Arlington and Darrington and wraps around back to Granite Falls. Stationed at the Verlot ranger station just outside Granite Falls is ranger Jonathan Sutherland. He looks after trails and campgrounds from Verlot to about Bedal Campground halfway between Granite Falls and Darrington.

He talked about his prior work in the peace core. “After Covid started it was hard for Peace Corps to do work. So, I came home to Snohomish and was out of work”. He applied to the National forestry service and became a park ranger in the south most part of the Mountain Loop Highway. Part of the mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. “It’s work with peace of mind”. 

When gold was discovered in the Cascade mountains, it came with the lofty dream of mineral wealth. The elusive rich vein of gold was never discovered. A silver deposit was found just below Boston Glacier near the headquarters of Thunder Creek in 1892. But the cost of getting the ore out was too expensive. By 1913 most mining companies had folded. “Mining didn’t resume until WWII increased the demand for metal and then again during the 1940s and 50s for the last time. Short working seasons, unpredictable weather conditions, difficult transportation and lack of working capital hampered large scale development” (National Park Service, 2020). The mining didn’t last long but the rails were in place to carry out the real treasure of the PNW – timber. Roads were built to replace rails and trucks replace the trains.

Granite Falls is known as the gateway to the Mountain Loop. Growth is strong as more people flock to rural areas in search of homes. A big part of Snohomish County history is founded in the search for natural resources and timber harvesting. Many trails along the Mountain Loop are linked to the development of nearby towns like Arlington and Darrington. A day off the Mountain Loop provides insight to the development of the area. It has a host of outdoor activities in environment education and a beautiful landscape.

The first people to settle in the area were Whites around the middle of the 19th century and one of the original settlers was Trumball Kent. The majority of the early immigrants came from the German region of Schaumburg-Lippe, which gave rise to the village's name. It was formally incorporated on March 7, 1956.

Yesterday while driving, I hit a snowstorm just NW of central MN. I was going to exit at Sauk Center to use the facilities but couldn’t see the exit in the whiteout. We saw 9 trucks jackknifed in 100 miles, but we are fine. I didn’t panic at all. I’m very grateful for that!

We got former-Ed’s truck (the driver whose load we rescued last month who got sick with Covid and then died) and met up at a truck stop near the border. Wolf left Ed’s truck running (MUST do in this cold), locked it up and came to our own truck, in the same lot. Good to have company through this.

They closed the port we cross at due to vax mandate protests. So we were to cross at a tiny port 30 miles away from the one we use, which was already closed for the day and was to only be open 8-4 today. All truck traffic was being channeled through there. Who knows how long it would have taken to cross. Then 4 hours to the yard, switch out trailers and get back. Then 2.5 hours back to Fargo, means we would not have made our backhaul appointments as they have to be gotten by 15:30 local time.

Not that it matters, because all roads are now closed to anywhere. All roads from the border to Winnipeg, I-94 in Minnesota, I-29 in North Dakota, all roads from where we are to the new border crossing. Wolf ran this route for 4 years previously, and says it is the worst he’s ever seen it. The winds are 52mph/83kph. The wind chills are now colder than when I took these screen shots, and they’re saying exposed skin will frostbite in less than 10 minutes. The visibility is to about 30 feet past the fence by that truck, so about 250 feet (about 80 meters). I’m so very thankful to be warm and safe.

We have about 120 gallons of fuel, and idling burns about a gallon an hour. We have plenty of food. I have knitting (and now time to do it). I’m grateful Wolf had the foresight to check the road reports before we tried to go anywhere

The kids are ok at home, that’s good to know. I don’t know how long we will be here.
