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.

I've loved libraries since I was a little kid. Still do!

And some of the most helpful people are librarians!

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.

In response to "Just some mumbles"

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.

In response to "What will the new day bring?"

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.

Waiting for Good Stuff

Write about a time when you waited a long time for something. Did you end up getting what you wanted? Was it worth it?

https://time.com/5712904/adjust-to-cold-weather/

This is a good way to start out a blog, laughing. What's a long time? I'm waiting right now. I want to see the new siding up on the front of the house. Weather is slowing down the work. So, I'm just hoping for the sofet to be up before the weather completely stops outside progress.

During the summer I bought solar panels which will run some electric heaters inside the house but I still need some parts before I hook up the panels. I started talking about solar panels and electric heaters about 2000. Money comes in but, money coming in is slower, than the seasons are changing. And, slower than the need for money to go out.

Now, I'm already gathering Christmas presents. I hate last minute shopping for gifts. I'm behind in some way because winter hung on here until June this year. Now winter is trying to start 2 to 4 weeks earlier than I'm use to.

I'm juggling thoughts here; presents for Christmas or solar, presents for Christmas or solar, presents for Christmas or solar. Seems like the solar is needed but, the presents are fun to give..

All this happened before during The Reagan Years. Sorry, I'm inclined to label things according to who was in the White House when the seasons go hay wire.

Most of the time the things I want are practical and have a reason for them. That makes them worth waiting for, but, once in awhile I want something impractical and that doesn't always work out to be worth it.

At my age I'm inclined to look at what needs done, do the most important and say oh well to the rest. The rest of the things will get done when their turn comes up.

The End
