Question of the Day
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the “most destructive” volcanic eruption in the United States was that of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, in Washington state, in which more than 50 people were killed. The eruption of Alaska’s Novarupta in 1912 was the largest by volume (again, according to the USGS), but it occurred in a remote area. Hawaii’s Kilauea still has intermittent eruptions that have mostly consisted of lava flows in recent years.

Puzzle of the Day
I am a caller at every home where you may meet. For daily I perambulate along each street. Take one letter from me and still you will see. I’m the same as before, as I’ll always be. Take two letters from me, or three or four. I’ll still be the same as I was before. In fact, I can tell you that all my letters you may take. Yet of me nothing else can you make.

About the Almanac
What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? For more than 225 years, we've been the go-to resource for everything under the Sun-including the Moon! We may be "old," but in fact we're new every year-and even every day.
Welcome to the Almanac's HQ! We're located in the tiny village of Dublin, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its best-complete with Old Glory high atop her pole, a church steeple, the town hall-and New England weather!
