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. |
On this day in 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to a friend in which he said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." What do you think about that? Are there any other certainties in life? Correct me if I am wrong: How about chemical formulas The eternal battle of good versus evil medical disease that needs cured, like cancer The lineup of musical notes in a melody, if you change a note you change the melody DNA Sounds and syllables that make up a particular language The reason for a the shape of a bird's beak. How does that affect it's diet? Arranging pixels to make a picture. writing code to build a computer program If I am right about any of these, how does that affect the way history sees Benjamin Franklin? |
