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.

Goin To The Pictures

Today, let’s talk movies. What was the most recent movie you watched? Have you been to the theater recently? What movie are you looking forward to? What is your favorite movie of all time?

Quote from Black Panther: “How many times do I have to teach you: just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved." —Shuri https://bookriot.com/2018/03/27/black-panther-quotes/

We watch a couple movies from Netflix at home a week. The most recent movie that we liked was Detectors which isn't really a movie but is an English series about the members of a club that uses metal detectors to hunt for buried treasure in local fields near their homes. It is comedic and adventurous. Some times we get hold of low budget junk.

We often like English series about detectives.

The last movie I saw in a theater was "The Last Jedi." I will watch Star Wars when I can it's just adventurous. The characters are always up against astonishing odds and they find astonishing ways to take down the evil and make the world better.

Until Star Wars came along I was a fan of Star Trek. We watched it on TV. Then the movies came out. I haven't kept up with the movies because we don't live close to a theater. So, I could watch them on Netflix but K isn't a fan of fantasy or science fiction and I don't like to much gore or nightmare quality films. So, I look for movies that we both might enjoy. He gets some of his favorite themes I get some of mine.

As a Christian I was a fan of "The Case For Christ." I read the book and the movie was interesting. Really you don't have to be a Christian to read "The Book of Strange New Things." I would like to see an effort to make this into a movie. It is a popular story and is adventurous. It treats some thoughts about what will be found if we ever contact another type of species on their own planet.

I liked Mars. I read the book then had to see the movie which we were able to watch at home. I really believe Humans may go to space and colonize new planets.

I liked Avatar. I hope the second one will be as good. I will look for the next Star Wars about Jedi's that is coming out December of 2019, "The Rise of Skywalker."

I guess I don't have a favorite movie of all time. I think if I see one that makes me excited it will be the new favorite. My introduction to "To Kill a Mockingbird," was a movie. I saw the movie before I read this favorite by Harper Lee. It is an unforgettable story.

So, in that frame of mind, the last movie I saw at home that really interested me with great characters, wisdom, and intense, independent women was Black Panther. I thought the cast and producers did a great job of showing off what the world should really be looking toward, a technological society that is progressive and peaceful.

Wind Blows,
Movies flow,
Hearts grow.
