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.

A vet should be able to tell you the approximate age of your cat.

In response to "Changes Coming for 2025"

Absolutely, we are all harassed by companies that haven't mastered how to use Ai, which could become a fantastic tool in the right hands. I sometimes complain, "it is the Ai!" But it really is the companies and people behind it, as you said. I have a fairly new Windows 11 laptop that sometimes jumps to conclusions before me, and the same goes with Messenger and other message sites that erase and change the words in my messages. It is a pain!

King of the world is from Titanic, Houston, we have a problem is from Apollo 13, Show me the money is from Jerry Macquire and Sugar and Spice is the movie title.

Beef stew and chili always taste better the second day. I do a lot of crock pot dishes so we have food to pull from the freezer, too.

Good luck with the tree.

In response to "Movies"

Ditto! I don't go to the movies nowadays, almost since probably more than ten years or so. Maybe because I don't like sitting in a dark place, doing nothing else, and especially because if I'm bored by the movie, it feels like being shut in a tomb or something.

Holiday mysteries are the best. Hope your tree magic continues.

Spiceless chicken doesn't sound appealing to me either.

Not for the Faint Hearted

Prompt: Movie

Hi! I'm Apondia

The chase riders checking speed with reins; dragged their horses to sliding stops, as they stared in disbelief. The rouge stallion was galloping with unchecked speed straight at the edge of the canyon.

Where Are You Going

Prompt:Have fun with these word couplets: black silk, blue dress, bow tie, corner booth, police sirens and the coroner.

Making the News by Apondia

I was standing at the counter of the Corner Booth. It still sells printed newspapers. The sound of police sirens wailing as they charged closer caused me to turn and look.

A man in a tuxedo ran by on the sidewalk. He had on a black silk tie. The tie was black as night, which is really dark blue I suppose. The end of the tie was blown up against the tie clip with air movement, as he ran. The tie clip startled me, because it was actually formed like a vibrant red bow tie. The same size and shape.

There was a smallish woman slung over his shoulder. She wore a flowing bold blue dress with sunflowers bursting in color across the skirt. Her body bounced, as his every long stride slapped the concrete sidewalk. His long strides carried him quickly around the corner and out of sight of the site.

Within a couple heartbeats another man ran up to me. "I'm the Coroner, did you see a man run by with a woman's body?"

He ran around the corner. I pointed in the direction I saw him run. The Coroner ran off.

Hey! Will this be in the newspaper tomorrow? I shouted after him.

THE END
