New Listings

This photograph of Montana’s Clearwater River is one I took while on a photography class in October, 2021.

I took this photo while driving around Sheridan County in northeastern Montana, way back in 2011.

While not “new” listings, per se, I renewed seven 2026 calendar listings including Ohio Barns, Hunks, Flowers from my Garden, British Sports Cars, Idaho Grain Elevators, Montana Ghost Towns, and US National Parks. You can find all of my 2026 calendars here:

What’s Going On

This has been a difficult week for me, so this column won’t be very long. While I was in West Virginia, I began having a persistent pain in my left jaw. Sometimes it felt like someone had just punched me in the jaw, and sometimes it felt like a sharp toothache. Sometimes I barely noticed it at all.

I treated the discomfort with anbusol and ibuprofin, grinning and bearing it. Yesterday, I was finally able to see my dentist. X-rays and a cat scan showed no problems with my teeth, thank God. Best guess is that I have either a sinus infection or an infection from an old root canal that hasn’t completely healed. For now I’m on amoxicillan three times a day and we’ll see how (if) that helps.

A Book Recommendation

One good thing to come from this, when I found myself in too much pain to sit at the computer, I could relax in the recliner and read. This allowed me to finish listening to Dan Brown’s Secret of Secrets. Twenty-two hours on Audible. The story is compelling, and leads to a conclusion that I did not expect. I HIGHLY recommend the book, whether you pick up a book, or do as I did and listen to it.

Another Recommendation

I also read (on my Kindle) Michelle Vernal’s O’Mara’s.  This was a good antidote to Brown’s very serious opus.  It was, as my mother would say, “Light and Frivolous.”  A charming story set in a Dublin guest house.  Again, highly recommended.
