I think about Ellie on many occasions and most of all when I see a little Pug. How is Ozzy going Capt?

It was two years ago today that our Ellie last visited here. I remember that day. I was stuck 4000 feet up on an Oregon mountain with a dead battery. I killed the battery in the truck trying to winch myself out of a snow drift. The wind was blowing and the snow was piling up fast. I barely had enough battery to radio in my distress call. I got home late. Very late.

Arriving home before midnight, I passed an e-mail to Ellie, knowing that she would be leaving for CA within hours. We exchanged a couple of e-mails and she sent me a copy of her final edition of The Outrider. I relayed to her the problems I had during my day and told her to be careful. Unexpected things happen. This was to be the last I would hear from Ellie. I have all your pitchers, Ellie. You aren't scary at all.

Ellie, if you are looking upon us now, I'm sure you would like many things you see. The Usurper will be with us for four more years. The Wicked Witch is hanging herself in Mississippi. The nutjobs are being laughed at all across our country. Yes, we still have plenty of kooks. We always have and we always will. Generally speaking, I believe you would approve of the way our country is headed. I wish you could be here to see it.

Rest in peace, Ellie Wyatt. You will always be in our hearts.

Thank you, zeke. Hi, Elliewyatt.

Also today...JFK. She's in good company.

Still miss her. Hope Capt Trips and the rest of the family are still doing well.

Ditto.

RIP, Ellie.
