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 found this at a web page dedicated to the World Science Festival. There is a Youtube article called "It's Alive But Is It Life." I could not watch the whole article because of the time element. It is at least one hour or more. I came away from what I saw thinking I have missed something by not watching the whole newsy article. The subject is DNA. Every creature has their own code that makes them individual, a frog is a frog, a dog is a dog, etc. Scientists have been studying DNA for some time now. They want to start writing their own codes for new creations. What thoughts come into your mind when you think of this? Biological creations that do not have an evolutionary history. We have a lot of real wind outside today. I wonder if it is an off shoot of the heavy storms forecast for the south eastern USA coast, a hurricane? Did you watch Madame Secretary? About the governments admitting to global warming so people will believe it and prepare for more rough weather. I'm off the do some writing and reading. Starting a new library book called, "How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog" by Chad Orzel. Also going to read, "Sketches of Jewish Social Life in the time of Christ," by Alfred Edersheim. I will be fortunate if I finish both these books in October. Reading, writing, and housecleaning my month is full and it just started. Happy Trails I actually watched a Roy Rogers Movie on TV this summer. |
