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. |
| Day 3717: April 25, 2023 Prompt: Which kind of natural disaster would you find the most terrifying to experience?   Any kind. I don't even like it when the electricity is off for a few hours. We are rural and still have above ground electric lines. When we get high winds, a tree can go down on a line so electricity can be interrupted while lineman fix the line. We have had small earthquakes. None large enough to interrupt life. Over the course of many years, some storms have actually evolved into a tornado and hit small communities or taken out a farmer's barn. Fortunately, not a lot of human death involved mostly damage to buildings. Mostly we sometimes get electric storms: high winds, lightning, heavy rain or snow, and thunder. No natural disaster is a good one to contemplate. When one is on the news, I always think about the needs of the people who are experiencing the disruption of their lives. I'm sure it is the kind of tragedy that will be on a victim's mind forever. It makes me feel useless. |
