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. |
 Just a couple updates: Still fighting whatever glitch is affecting whether my computer boots or not. It worked for several days last time then has not worked since. Using K's computer today. So, back to writing by hand since no way to print or save copies or a journal on this computer. Also, no way to post writings. Nevertheless, onward into life's next adventure. Just a quick tip for those who never did the math. If you read 3 chapters in the Bible a day you will finish the entire Old and New Testament in one year. I'm grateful for the English grammar help I get when I work on the computer. It corrects mistakes as I go along. Makes life easier. ![Merit Badge in News

For [Link to Book Entry #1024225] Very well written. An eloquent personal account makes what seems to be mere 'news' to others more meaningful.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/genre-News-1130.gif) |
 I'm reading "Fuzz" by Mary Roach. It's about learning to live with wildlife that take advantage of human environment by eating our garbage and sleeping under out porches. We have deer that raid the bird feeders and bed down in the hay fields. They really like to graze on the mowed areas near the house. Over the last several years squirrels have been a problem since they like to store their winter nuts in our attic and prefer the attic to a tree nest in winter. The book I am reading is telling how different cities are having to store their garbage in special containers. These are containers that are bear proof. I was not aware that black bears are especially good at entering houses and raiding food shelves and refrigerators. There is also graphic knowledge about how cougars and other wild cats bite to kill or how a bear attack will be carried out on a human body. Interesting to know that black bears usually do not attack unless given a reason by a human. The first several chapters, that I have finished had some grewsome knowledge, about attacks; nevertheless, good to know. We have more black bears in the area now, than 40 years ago. Have a good day. |
