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.

In response to "Write and then wait?"

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.

I agree editing should never be at the same time you write.

In response to "What does this mean?"

I think it's a reminder that some people don't take accountability for their actions.

In response to "Cell phones"

I miss my landline some times because I always gave that when a phone was needed and never volunteered that I had a cell phone so I could avoid texts.

In response to "Ides or the center of the month"

I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date

Fun Fact Friday!

On this day in 1928, Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie" starring Mickey Mouse was the first successful sound-synchronized animated cartoon. What is your favorite cartoon?

Congratulations on taking 2nd Place in the July 2016 [Link To Item #30dbc] !

Although I have not watched it in ages I have to say "Roadrunner." I was very upset when it was removed from regular TV viewing because they were afraid it was causing violence in children.

Last week we watched the remake of the Jungle Book. I really enjoyed it. Probably as much for the jungle scenery as the story.

As a rule I don't care for a lot of the cartoon stories that are made. Once in awhile I see one I like. I also liked "How to train a Dragon." I have read a lot of stories about Dragons I liked.
