A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

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.

Libraries are my favorite place to go still at 67.

Thank you for reading my blog. Your story is wonderful. And to think you bypassed censorship in your own home: fabulous!

In response to "Stay on Track."

I think I need to do a survey on sexuality and gender. So many people have not had interactions with the LGBTQ community. I had a friend who was an "I for intersex" and know an "A for asexual" ... Historically there was an "E for eunuch" (and I suspect that category still exists).

So much easier to just suspend the labels and call people by their name/nickname or title: Vaughn, Officer Paula, Miss Jessica, Duck, Teacher Nessy... No one needs to inspect another person's underwear.

As for 'snowed under' ... well it's spring ... this too shall melt.

Do no harm is the best way to live.

Thanks for checking in, hope things settle down soon.

I agree with you. I think it takes a lot of faith to jump horses too! It was always something that amazed me to watch.

Snickerdoodle muffins? Send one here!

Do you serve coffee? I've only had 4 cups today. I'd be grateful for another.

I think it is more than just short supply of a virtue. I think evil is a real thing and occasionally presents its own ideas of reality. Since humans live in organic forms and have been given the ability to make choices often, we get wrapped up in our little personal worlds and don't notice evil trying to take bake what is already won. So, the battle commences again.

House Florent plays to win. As I age, I read a lot of history I proceed to think every age has seen its own share of violence. There are times when peace prevails. I hope a time like that is coming toward us.

Patience is a virtue that seems to be in short supply.

You're so right about evil raising it's head. If only saying calm down was enough.

I think we're in a similar age bracket and we have seen too much violence in our lifetime.

Connect Two Dots

Blog About Missed Connections:

{{center}image:2172134}

Missed Connections

Missed Connections as a subject is usually loosely defined , as two people meeting quickly by chance and then losing the opportunity to continue to get to know each other. A glance on a bus, bumping grocery carts in a store, eyes meeting as you cross the street going in opposite directions. Lots of other scenes.

The theme is used over and over by authors and artists. Missed Connections is a movie, the subject is used in a NY theater production called Vignettes, and a group called The Upright citizens Brigade” uses the subject as comedy in their songs.

It’s a very well used subject in music. Frank Sinatra sang, Strangers in the Night. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote about the subject in a scene from South Pacific. The song was called, Some Enchanted Evening.

Since it can be a real situational, situation, news media and websites have taken on the task of reuniting missed connections. Craig's List has moved their Missed Connections to the community section. London’s Metro Newspaper has a section named “Rush Hour Crush.” Where you can look for a Missed Connection. And, of course a website, www,gumtree.com, exists to help the lost find each other. Don’t leave out the obvious, Face Book, which is a great place to reattach people who have lost each other.

Personally, if I’ve missed a connection with someone, I don’t know it so the other half of the connection will have to make themselves known.

As for this blog, I won’t be online long today. We are experiencing a very overcast day with winds. The electricity has already blacked out once today and may again so I will post and be gone for the day. Electricity turning on an off suddenly is a danger of computer loss.
