7/24 Willis Fireball

There's a fellow who came thru a few weeks ago who had some errands and traveling to do and came thru the other night again on his way home. He teaches on Little Diomede Island. Where is Little Diomede, you ask? It is across from Big Diomede Island on the International Date Line. In the middle of the Bering Strait.

Willis Fireball is a folksinger as well. His website: willisfireball.com

Below a quote from another website about Little Diomede: 

"What I’ve always thought was interesting is that the houses on Little Diomede (above) face tomorrow. Due to the placement of the International Date Line, the Russian side is one of the first territories to start the day. This means folks on Big Diomede can also see yesterday."
