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. |
Talk Tuesday! What's your opinion on high school reunions? Have you gone to any? Why (or why not)?![]() ![]() How can I put this so it makes sense? Yuk. ![]() Recently, I started reading "Blood Lure" by Nevada Barr. for those of you who never read a book by Barr. She is a ranger in the national parks. All her stories are accented by facts on wildlife, flora, and landscape of a specific national park. Plus, the main character, Anna Pigeon, always finds herself in the most excruciating situations. I feel like Anna and I are kin. This is a quote from the story, "Anna was half convinced she'd been begotten by a passing alien life-form on a human woman. It was as good an explanation as any for the sense she had of being an outsider." At some point after college I decided I was being paranoid about the class. Many of whom still live in this area. There was group from the class having regular meetings and I had an older letter asking me to a meeting, I decided to attend. One of the members of this group is a cousin who is one year older than I am. It was just not my idea of life for an older person who likes quiet walks, bicycle rides, cleaning barn,flying kites, reading books. writing. These are the people who used me, to make fun of, spread lies about, make me look stupid, ( I helped this view because of isolation on the farm by my dad). He thought I was safer at home. Turns out he was right. Remember this, they are not experimenting on you.They are trying to bury you. ![]() One good thing came from me attending the meeting. I found out there are other class members who have been burned by this group. It would take a lot more words and paper to explain what is going on in this part of Pennsylvania. I'm not going into it any deeper today. It isn't worth digging into the manure pile of life. How many times does your life get run off the road before you become suspicious of other humanoid life? This prompt digs into the dregs of dark humanity. ![]() |
