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. |
On this day in 1620, the Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England. The ship arrived at Provincetown, MA, on November 21st and then at Plymouth, MA, on December 26th; there were 102 passengers on board. Imagine that this voyage never happened...how dramatically would that have affected the course of human history? It was inevitable that sooner or later someone would arrive in Plymouth or travel up from South America or other wise explore their way to the Mid America. European people were exploring. "To explore new worlds where no man has ever gone before" Yes. We will go out into outer space. It is not that far away. Why search for another blue planet if you don't intend to visit it? Curiosity is probably ingrained in our DNA. When people moved out into space more changes will be coming to the way the population views earth. Knowledge is wisdom. Wisdom is infinite. Wisdom is always waiting to teach. Teachers need pupils. Pupils need to try out new knowledge. Knowledge is wisdom. The changes would only have been the citizenship of the people who landed and how they handled the population of the new colonies. Probably, the creation of new countries and freedom from the mother land were also inevitable. Individuals want their own land, their own home, their own place to feel in control. I hope there is not any aliens out there to take over us the way we took over the Native Americans It's beginning again "Look! I found a new blue planet!" "Move over let me look in that scope." "Wow! Look at all the water." "Turn the middle dial to the left." "Holy crow! There's a continent. The canopy is so thick the scope won't penetrate to the ground." "Robot Jane. This is commander Tennison. Change coordinates and put us in orbit around the planet presently spotted by the mapping scope. I want to get a closer look at the planet."  |
