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 "Favorites"

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.

In response to " Dependency"

my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. Book festival here in Malaysia... and rain. Enjoy the snow if it comes your way.

Best Thanksgiving ever for me? Sardines and crackers.

I'm sure you were a great mom, even though you were young. You strike me as a highly caring and responsible person.

It's never too late to share the story with your children even if they're adults.

Changes Coming for 2025

Prompt: "Every day brings new choices, Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

Hi from Apondia.

I am interested in the WDC addition in 2025. I will have to write a lot more. It would be a good addition to my present busy life. Someone has hacked my computer again. So, if I write more, I will have to get it back again. We will see.

I do not believe in one bowl to a family, one set of silverware to a family, or one personal computer to a family. Today I am on Keith's computer because mine has been hacked again. That is why they are called personal computers.

Is anyone out there being harassed by AI? AI does not make all its own decisions it is driven by humans. Behind everything AI does presently is a human.

This has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. It is pure evil. Also, it happened in an earlier time in this country. Some of us remember when.

Wilderness Watch

Write about an unusual animal you've seen recently

An unusual animal is the vulture that sat in a tree with its wings spread a couple weeks ago.

Also saw a buck come out of the trees last week. I called to it, and it stood and listened to me talk, then moved off to the woods.

The most unusual is a pet black cat I have living in my home. It has been running around with its tongue sticking out between its teeth. It also scratches on cardboard boxes and in corners of the room. It has sudden fits of wild running around rooms and jumping down on people from high heights. I have been researching this online and found that cats who are doing these odd things are going insane. I did not even know cats could go insane. With some particularly special attention the cat is returning to its more normal behavior. Although, it continues to stay close to me as if it is frightened of something. I don't know this cats age as my granddaughter got it from a cat rescue when it was already full grown. She had it for several years when it began to want outside on a regular basis and jumped from a two-story window in their house. It seems healthy and eats well. It has been with me for about 7 years. Not sure when it came here it was before 2021.

The tree that fell in a wind storm is cleaned away out of the driveway. It was killed by lightning a few years ago. The outside birds used it as a perch so they are going through a period of reorientation.

Animals inside and out are part of my daily life.
