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.

I received a notification this week that Mrs. Katz had a birthday. She is affiliated with The New Horizons Academy. If you are interested in taking a writing class, check out the Academy. NHA is a worthwhile venture.

Curiosity sent me on a venture to research some information about satellites. As far back as the 1950's crude balloons were being used to bounce communications around the airways.

I found out a lot about the Echo Star 17 or Jupiter 1. Launched in 2012 It was launched with two other satellites one was for weather watching.

Information about the weather satellite led me to D=R*T which is the formula for the pulse radar (radio waves) that are bounced off weather fronts. (I hope that is right?)

The information about the communications satellite Echo Star 17 was not quite as spectacular as the information about how meteorologists get the news they give the public about local weather.

Have a good day. *Smile*
