A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because
BOOK
L'aura del Campo  (13+)
Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.
#982524 by Kåre Enga in Montana
had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre Enga in Montana
was full... until the number of entries was increased. A mixed blog, mostly stories.

I'll be linking to
BOOK

BOOK
O Pinions!  (XGC)
May my opinions gather wind under their wings and fly, perchance to soar.

is for my opinions. *Laugh*

BOOK
Nurture your Nature  (13+)

was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga in Montana
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
STATIC
Space Cadet - the never ending journal  (18+)
Journeys of an Alien Space crew.

I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.
 
FOLDER
Conquest ... to keep track of contests  (18+)
A place to keep track of in progress works and up-coming deadlines as well as any awards.

I told Robert: "I am a descendent of those that survived the plague that decimated Scandinavia. Whether I am descended from the original inhabitants or those who moved in later I may never know.

99% of a virus or bacteria may die but those that survive are stronger. The "strongest" don't kill off their host.

If humans are latter-day-microbes then they will need to learn how to not kill off their host, the Earth, to survive.

Even if only 1% continue (90 million) it will be enough for humanity to continue. Civilization? Not as we know it."

57 cool degrees under thin grey. 54 AQI. Should warm up and be a nice day.

Bryan picked up his money.

To Annette w/cc: "I think blue cases (purple cases?) should take note of site squabbles. Not to intervene but to be aware that these little brush fires can get out of hand.

Spacenook got severe blow back by not intervening in the conspiracy meme wars, then received more when they did. Hurt-feelings and misuderstandings are one thing but 'tribal' warfare is another. My D/C blog entries will wade into treacherous waters at some point. I expect some blow-back when I do.

I say this because some challenges/contests are uber-careful where they tread. 30DBC and QotD are vanilla pudding because 'someone may get upset' and they are trying to be broad based (read geared towards pre-teens and the 'pious' with or without opinions). I almost understand. I just don't agree. Much writing wells up from deep emotions... and vomit ain't never vanilla.

Another point: is it possible to make <18 members a different color case (optional?) like green... *Bagg* ... I only ask because there's no way to know. Some are mature writers but some seem to be quite immature.

Anyhoo... that's what I was referring to. A website worried more about the word 'shit' than shit-flinging will face challenges."

Everyone set me straight on blue cases. They do newsletters, occasionally correct item ratings. They are volunteers.

It wasn't a bad day... just somewhat worn out. Tonight I creamed cherries and cheese. Earlier today I ate rice and beans and a pork patty. I'm doing okay.

71 degrees, 69 AQI at 22:22. Quiet, barely a breeze.

AUGUST 11

58 degrees c/ 54 AQI @ 06:20.

NBC News: Feds warn of potential violence fueled by false election claims

My post "Donald Speaks at the Restoration has been up for hours. 13 views, 4 thumbs-up, one comment. Maybe people are speechless?

Long walk home from Trempers. Bought book on Thai language. $10. At market bought cashews and 2 peaches.

93 hot breezy degrees with an AQI of 67. Now 88 hot but breathable degrees at 7:44. *Sad*
