Notes From The Quiet Corner

Snippets of life from Connecticut's northeast corner, and sometimes from the grass on the other side of the fence.

Time Again for the Woodstock Fair If you live in the Quiet Corner you know that the end of August mean more that back to school, it means that it's fair time! The Woodstock Fair opens every year on the Friday before Labor Day and runs through the holiday. The Woodstock Agricultural Society hosts the fair, now in its 153rd year. Get ready for carnival rides, fried food, animals and tractor pulls. Oh, and if you live here, now's a good time to start taking the back roads and avoid 169!

Evidence of water spotted on the moon

SPACE.com: Evidence of water found on the moon’s surface may have originated from a hidden source deep in the interior of the moon, scientists say.

The water was discovered by NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper which is currently aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 probe.  This new water finding is fueling speculation that polar craters on the moon could be home to large quantities of water ice, which some private firms want to turn into rocket propellant in order to fuel further expeditions into the solar system.
