 |   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.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
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.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

17 septembre   36 degrees and 18 AQI at 0700.JUST MY LIFE (like a diary or journal entry, usually this blog or "Hoarfrosts from Hell"  [GC] when I'm upset)Managed to take a quick shower without our janitor David noticing. He can get grumpy if we get in the way. I do my best to not interfere. Drying off. Drinking coffee. I dug up some portulaca to bring inside. What remains will be abandoned to frost or freeze come Monday. I rescue plants each autumn. Last year it was a scarlet geranium. I'm eyeing some begonias... Sauntered over to the Senior Center to meet friends and chat. I was gifted pudding, noodles... On my way back I gleaned some lavender I strip and keep in a cup. I'll use it when I boil water for coffee, cocoa, tea or just for fragrance. I stopped in for fresh sourdough baguettes. I wrote a letter to Kit in the UK while waiting. Back home I buttered the still warm loaf. MY WRITING (like my p-log "L'aura del Campo" [13+] or story blog "Enga mellom fjella" [13+])I received a 1st place ribbon for
A poem for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT" . The prompt was manicure."Pink", she answered. She waits there with her trembling hands afraid to spill the cup of coffee, focusing on the flickering screen, the same familiar faces laughing. Yes, she's no longer sure of their names but she knows she knew them once. A soft voice interrupts her thoughts. "What color shall I paint your nails today?" © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.230] {17.september.2021} OPINIONATED ME (opinion blog, usually "Watt's Gnus" [18+] or "O Pinions!" [XGC] when I rant)Which topic do I tackle first? 1. Unlike Emperor Hirohito who graciously accepted defeat, ending all hostilities between the US and Japan in 1945, President Trump refused to accept the will of the American public, creating havoc for two months culminating in the Insurrection of January 6th, 2021, the first attack on the Capitol since 1814. Notwithstanding the evidence he continues to stir up attacks on democracy months later, based on lies and hubris. Where is his Honor? 2. Pissing off France, our very first ally in our War for Independence. Was this wise or necessary? "France recalls ambassador from Washington 'without delay' as Macron rages at Biden" Washington Examiner headline. 3. The militaristic apocalyptic vision of those obsessed with the God-Wars of the Old Testament nations and the End of Times. How tightly is xenophobia, bigotry, pro-doom (and anti-science) intertwined in the psyche of some descendants of Abraham. 4. Bad words are taboo at WDC. If a G-rated poem is kept in my 18+ p-blog will it be read by contest owners? Will they be linked in the 13+ newsletters. I swear that they are NOT even being read or quickly dismissed. Do we need an 18+ newsletter for mature writers who are handcuffed by the policy of "we don't want to offend anyone" "think of the children". Is it time to give up and leave this website to Bible-school teachers? Class! 5. Blogging is perceived as high-school 6th period writing exercises. Why is it so difficult to get writers to write about what they experience, think, believe? Is sharing verboten? Is commenting too much trouble? Do people really want raffles, games, fantasy to the point that they abandon essays, non-fiction, biography, journalism, research. Can a multi-cultural blogging community be resurrected or is blogging and any semblance of reality passé among writers at WDC? NATURE and TRAVEL "Nurture your Nature" [13+] & "On The Write Path" [13+]I use these blogs sporadically these days as I'm not out much; however, does anyone even care about my travels internationally or walks around town unless I'm posting pictures? ~600 words 7 views and one comment. More on the Newsfeed but that's another story. Tomorrow I'll continue... 18 septembre  Still before midnight in Montana, but I'm 'feeling the heat'. I'm getting flashbacks to a time when I felt destroyed by accusations and didn't receive enough support from friends. Perhaps I asked too much, or maybe asked too little. I'm watching something where the main character feels guilt and then when he speaks up feels abandoned. So maybe that's a factor. It's 67 outside. It'll be 50 by morning and with rain possible in the afternoon it won't warm up much. Went to market and snagged one of Irina's blueberry pastries. All gone to the tummy graveyard as I sip coffee at Butterfly Herbs. Bought sweet crabapples, russet and barlett pears. Also buttercup squash. Sunny beautiful day. Just ate dried pear that a mutual friend sent to a friend here. Very nice.  At home... not sure what to do so I'm wasting time... but not food, added cream of shiitake soup and ricotta to my rice, lentils, beans. Tasty. Glad the Justice for J6 jamboree created no problems. I don't need drama. Time for a shower than bed. 4980 views to date |
