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.
Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.
Prompt: If you were offered a chance to take the plunge over the Niagara, would you?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
The Niagara River is the source of water falling over Niagara Falls. The river is drainage from the Great Lakes that lay between Canada and the USA. The riverbed narrows at the place of the Niagara Gorge.
Niagara Falls is also known as the Canadian falls. The Niagara Gorge, which houses a group of three falls is situated between the province of Ontario, Canada and New York State in the USA.
Water in the amounts of 5.9 million cubic feet goes over the crest of the falls every minute. This is a force of about 3,160 tons of water falling every second from Niagara at a rate of 187 feet on the horseshoe side or 98 feet on the USA side.
At the base of the falls where tons of water are dropping every second are large boulders.
All this force is good because AC power is generated by the Robert Moses Niagara Power plants.
I just cannot even think of going over those falls, can you?
