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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
Since we had our choice today. I went back to the center of Hamburg and visited a service at ST. Michaels. Then I toured the model train exhibit. Several years ago I started collecting Thomas Trains. My grandchildren spend time setting up all the track when they visit so the floors are covered with trains and track while they are visiting.
This exhibit was really the right place for a model train enthusiasts. It was a good place for big kids. (No! I'm not senile)
I viisited a nice restaurant for lunch and found a place to take back some snacks. The rest of the day I read a good book and retired early. Maybe I will hear about the night life from Sandra Lyn or SB Musing Minx tomorrow.
