Lunar Eclipse
I’m always surprised to see how much of my audience is checking email in the wee hours of the morning–hundreds of you!
I’m sending this out a little earlier than usual to reach the nightowls who might want to see the eclipse. It started at 11:02PM Thursday night, reached its maximum (almost completely eclipsed) at 2:02AM, and it will be done at 5:30AM Friday morning.
Chipless Christmas
We’re seeing so many articles this year about supply chain problems, and how the lack of chips will make everything hard to get. I visited the Holiday Art Market at Foothills Art Center yesterday, and saw thousands of beautiful potential gifts, not a one of them needing a single chip. Make sure you visit them soon! They’re open Monday through Saturday, 10AM-5PM, and Sunday 12-5PM.

Golden History Moment
The City is celebrating Colorado Recycles Week, so here’s a timely story from 1936:
Santa Claus to Open Work Shop in Golden
Claude Miner, who has been pinch-hitting for Santa Claus in the community for many years, announces that the Golden Plunge building will soon be converted into a Christmas work shop.
Colorado Transcript – November 19, 1936
85 Years Ago
During the Depression years, the Golden community collected used toys and cleaned or repaired them as needed for redistribution. This article mentions teachers, the ladies auxiliary of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the WPA sewing room, Boy Scouts, school children, and the Camp Fire Girls all taking on various tasks. Some repaired the toys, some sewed new clothing for dolls, some collected and some delivered the toys.
The Golden Gem Theater hosted a “Toy Matinee.” A toy was the price of admission. The boys at the Industrial School ran a doll repair workshop.
Hundreds of little girls and boys in Golden and vicinity are made happy each year as a result of the cooperative effort of those who interest themselves in this work.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
