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.

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.

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.

Level What is Unbalanced

Prompt: Your Country
What do you think is the most misunderstood thing about your home country by other people in the world: its culture, education, wealth, friendliness of people, or anything else you can think of?

I immediately think of freedom when I read this prompt. We are not free to inflict damage on other people's rights. We are free to grow in knowledge, actionable reactions, and individuality. We have laws which control the way freedom is used improperly and to help people reassess their definition of the word freedom.

Just keeping an eye on the situation in which the word freedom is being used helps understand the definition of freedom.

We watched the Memorial Day concert in Washington D.C. We do this on Memorial Day and on July 4th. I was thinking of the Ukraine during the whole concert.

Remember the USA is a complicated country. A melting pot of ideology and sociology. Our congress, president, and legal elders have to make decisions for everyone to abide in a peaceful manner.
