For the upcoming weekend of May 4-5, I'd love to be a non-fiction Hermione Granger or at least to borrow her magical time turner that allows her to be in more than one place at once.

This week a caller tried to persuade me that the May 5 Trout Derby in Bluffton, Ohio does not take place at Buckeye Lake.

There is a somewhat better known Buckeye Lake in Licking County, where there is a village called Buckeye Lake, a reservoir called Buckeye Lake and Buckeye Lake State Park. 

I directed the caller to a popular authority, Google. Yes! It shows Bluffton's Buckeye Lake. You'll also find our petite version on www.ohiogamefishing.com , www.eBird.com , www.Mapquest.com , www.naturalatlas.com , www.fishbrain.com , etc.

As I write this, it’s just a few hours after the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. Given traffic jam horror stories from similar events, I decided early on to stay put in Bluffton. But it began to dawn on me on Sunday that perhaps being in the path of totality was not going to double the population of our little town–a possibility for which emergency services were prepared.

"Honey, where did you put....?" Did you notice that the Icon has done a little reorganizing?
