July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
You and several friends are marooned on a desert island. Everyone is looking to you to lead. What are your first actions? (List at least 2 please) will award a MB for his favorite entry today. *ThumbsUpL*  For every Book of Job, there's a Book of Leviticus, featuring some of the most boring prose ever written. But if you were stranded on a desert island, what book would better reward long study? And has there ever been a more beautiful distillation of existential philosophy than the Book of Ecclesiastes? David BenioffRead more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/david_benioff_842020?src=t_desert_island 1. Take an account of everyone's talents and knowledge: This has to take in account health, abilities, and emotional stability, because of however we ended up there. 2. Look for shelter, sources of food, and water: If it's necessary we may have to build shelter. 3. Questions I'm asking: Is there foliage? Are there trees? How big is the Island? Is there just sand? There are seven oceans: which one are we in? What brought us here: pirates, plane crash, or a boat wreak? Were we picked up and dropped by the whirling winds of a tornado? Were we dropped by a magical ship? Will it return for us? 4. We have to find ways for recreation early in the time we are marooned. Minds busy with things they like are more inclined to stay for the duration of the imprisoning. 5. So, do we have baseballs can we make bats or balls from the surrounding environment. Do we have working technology. Can we build solar electricity to keep the tech charged. 6. Is the Island a good place to build a palace to live in permanently, even if we find a way to become not marooned. Maybe we would like to come back some time for a vacation.  See Ya! Maybe we can grow wings and fly home. Are we sure we want to go home? Maybe we should build a new and better society.  .apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
