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.

Thank you for the gps.

I don't think anyone is ready for the hardships involved in a war especially here in the states, we haven't had that kind of situation since the Civil War but we may be facing it if Russia or N. Korea gets involved.

Well said! "We can not always tell if what we hear or read is accurate."

In response to "What is resolved?"

Last year, I decided to skip making resolutions. Since my resolution was the perennial favorite "lose weight," I decided to simply do it. When I saw the doctor in September, she said I lost fourteen pounds in a year. So, who needs resolutions? Don't make yourself promises—just live and move forward.

In response to "Soundwaves"

My physical for work involved a hearing test every year. Even inside a sound proof booth, I could still hear the phone ringing at the front desk, even the toilet flushing. It used to frustrate him that my hearing was so acute. I still have amazing hearing.

I think it would be cool to be identified by sound waves.

In response to "remember this?"

I'll join you on the luge, it looks like it would be so much fun.

I remember loose piles of hay and using a pitchfork to feed the cows. I didn't like stacking the square bales. The round ones look difficult to move to me.

In response to "chocolate tea?"

In Thailand, coffee is often served with tea or hot water.

I remember chewing on stems from my child... haven't thought about that in a while!

In response to "Brrr!"

My water used to freeze quite often when I lived in Maine. I used to curl up with a book while the wood stove did its thing warming us up and thawing the water lines.

Wild about the red squirrel. I hope it survives the blizzard.

Just Life

Is it just here that fuel and food prices are rising or is it also happening globally with the situation between Israel, Iran and the U.S.? Will the situation change your summer or winter plans?

:

Hi! "That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open." The quote is from The GoldFinch by Donna Tartt

I don't have any particular plans for the future except a year ago I set out to fix the house problems. I want to continue to fix some of those and winterize in case next year is as cold as this year has been.

During this summer I need to grow some lettuce and other vegetables. Last year I neglected all my growing plants and they died from neglect of watering.

I watch BBC news and PBS news. I believe there is not very many places the unrest of war in Israel is not making itself known throughout the world in one way or another.

Oil shipments in the Straight of Hormuz is sure to be felt in wherever the ships were intended to go.

Plus, the weather being crazy is affected, by the atmosphere of bombs and rockets, all over the world. Our earth's atmosphere is interconnected by everything happening around the earth. Growing seasons and crops will be affected by weather.

If the war escalates and continues longer than forecasted, maybe thinking to store some supplies like endemic all over again. Not as worried about changing plans or rising prices as how scarce supplies of daily needs may get.

Are the citizens of countries involved, including USA ready for deprivation?

A lot to think about. No matter what, Keep on Keepin on.
