RIP Farmers Almanac

[Inky_Wretch]

This is the “new” one that started publishing in 1818, not the old one that started in the 1700s.

A Fond Farewell

A staple on my father’s bookshelf. We had no farm, but we live in New England, and I think that was all the criteria you needed. RIP, old friend.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac lives on. This is the other one. Guess people don’t read as much in bathrooms these days.

Now this was great bathroom material for trivia nerds like myself. It's not "Glamour" but it'll do.

My aunt still has an old Uncle John reader I bought for her in her bathroom!

We had a secondhand copy of that which was maybe 15 percent responsible for warping me from preteen years through high school graduation.

We usually had a copy. Sad to see it go like so many institutional publications.
Ramon's calendars were always the must have, too.

It should have predicted that in last year's edition.
