The Self-Sufficient Fool
A humorous poem mocks a boastful man who claims vast intellect and world changing plans. It depicts him as living in the clouds, insisting he is always right while plans for a flying machine or balloon show his inflated hot air. The piece ridicules his grand schemes and misplaced confidence.

Fall Strawberries In Canon City Produce Two Crops Yearly
Canon City’s climate allows two strawberry harvests yearly with fruit ripening past December in open air. First home grown berries appeared around 1890, selling for notable prices, with recent seasons seeing a rising supply from local patches in Lincoln Park. Growers mow vines in late July and reirrigate soil to induce a second bloom, yielding berries less sweet than summer fruit but still prized by locals.
