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. |
Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent back its first photographs. What would be the best part of space exploration if you ever had the chance to spend an afternoon there while taking pictures? I’ve thought about this sometimes: 1. I’d like to spend time taking pictures of the earth from the space station. 2. I’d like to spend time on the voyager taking pictures of what ever we see as it travels deeper and deeper into space. 3. I’d like to take pictures of the pillars of creation in the eagle nebula. Especially look closer at the 4 stars that are on the other side of the nebula. Space travel makes me feel free and peaceful. Watching video of Nebula is serene and peaceful. Do you think there is anyone out there besides us? ![]() |
