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.

In response to "Dr. Suess"

Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.

I dodge my granddaughters kitten more times than I want and I'm always worried about falling. We just don't bounce like we used to, do we Judith?

In response to "Autum Leaves"

Where I lived in Maine, raising my family was rural. I used to drive them into town so they could experience Halloween with their friends.

As a child, I always had to take my younger siblings, I couldn't go with my friends.

Smoke and heat. Awful here. A tad early to normally bring plants in but this year isn't normal for lots of folks.

In response to "Historical Claims"

There were surprises in our DNA... too much this too little that... and where did the Mediterranean (Iberian & Italo-Greek) come from?

Family secrets... we got a few! On both sides. People who we just don't mention...

My grandmother's family name in Ireland was O'Tenney but when they came to the states they were Tenney, ditched the O. I would love to know more about my ancestors.

Watching Just in Case

Prompt:
What if a massive storm wipes out technology, thrusting society into a new dark age without electricity and internet? What would happen to you, then? Could you survive it?

Hi.

I recently read a fictional story about this exact situation. I've also read quite a few end of society as we know it stories over the years. Some of these stories that I read were written before computers and technology as we know it today.

I think people have been thinking about the way society can change for many years. Because when war begins to overtake society as it did during World Wars 1 & 2 all types of things happen even to those people who may not be living in a zone where bombs are actually falling.

Literally it would be possible for us to continue for a short space of time. Someone came into our home in the summer of 2024 and cracked the glass on both the corn stoves. We used them anyway but this year we had to order the parts for them so they would burn properly and now have that to fix.

Truthfully, the people who survive will be people who are used to surviving and know how to live under stress.

The book I read most recently brought out the situation, that many people think it is easier to survive in the country than in cities. So, people living outside of cities will be under siege.

When I started looking at generators a few years ago, I realized that solar may or may not work. It depends on what takes out the electricity grid.

Food would be a hassle for everyone. In my case I have pets. Feeding them would become difficult quickly.

I won't sit around and despair over the thoughts, survival stories may bring, since you cannot figure out every scenario about this subject.

Prepare the best you can, then take one day at a time.
