Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

In response to "LIbraries, the Never Ending Exploration"

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.

Wow. A Real Celebrity

Yup, we're going to meet the famous Norb. It's only going to cost 750 gps for your phenomenal experience.

“If you have carefully examined hundred people you met in your life journey, it means that you have read hundred different books! Every person you know is a book; world is full of walking books; some are boring, some are marvelous, some are weak, some are powerful, but they are all useful because they all carry different experiences of different paths!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/meeting-people

If you are charging to meet fivesixer doesn't that put him out there somewhere in famous land?

Anyway I think I met him once on one of his blogs he was playing a guitar. A Question: What is the name of the book you published? I hope everyone is meeting back at the pizza place so we can drill Fivesixer about the in's and out's of finally publishing a book. Maybe he should read us a few paragraphs while were eating? It will give him practice for book signing times.

Central New York is interesting. The landscape is similar to Pa. and Ohio. It would be a miserable day to walk trails even though they look peaceful and inviting. February rain is the pits, it's cold and very wet. I can see that the Lima Hollow Nature Center trails would be a great place to take long walk, enjoy the bird song, and quiet of nature.

On the plus side, the stained glass and interior of the Victorian house was priceless and beautiful. In this weather and because of our recent dive into the minus temperatures, I wondered if this house has the insulation upgraded or if there would be drafts in cold weather to deal with. I liked the grandfather clock and the alcove with a fireplace. It would be a great place to read.

What a great History Center. I like that name better than museum. Historical objects were presented with organization. I saw folding bicycles, tractors, war memorabilia, and did you see the vintage ambulance? So cool. It's one of the things they let women do in wars, drive the ambulance. I learned to type on an old Underwood. Think of a room full of girls (at least 20) all typing time tests at the same time. The serious clackety clack of keys driving metal letters onto ink ribbon, onto paper to print out each word as fast as they can. Builds strong fingering. Helps when you learn to play guitar or piano too. There was the front end of a steam engine from the Lackawanna railroad.Titusville, Pa. has a steam engine ride to show the oil country in Northwestern Pa. I rode it once. It was a lot of fun. Very wild country to see wildlife and old oil country scenery. Amish buggies are still in style around here.

I also liked the Country Music Park and an Opry Barn. I'm not the greatest fan of country Music but, live shows are nice and they call some square dances. I wonder if I can still square dance. It was one of the things they taught for gym class when I was a teen. Mixed it with some rock and roll which was hitting the scene then.

Weather or not this was a quiet fun place to visit. I like the silence you find when you visit places like this.

Congratulations Fivesixer on your book. Write ON!
