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.

The chase riders checking speed with reins; dragged their horses to sliding stops, as they stared in disbelief. The rouge stallion was galloping with unchecked speed straight at the edge of the canyon.

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure! Making the News by Apondia


I was standing at the counter of the Corner Booth. It still sells printed newspapers. The sound of police sirens wailing as they charged closer caused me to turn and look.

A man in a tuxedo ran by on the sidewalk. He had on a black silk tie. The tie was black as night, which is really dark blue I suppose. The end of the tie was blown up against the tie clip with air movement, as he ran. The tie clip startled me, because it was actually formed like a vibrant red bow tie. The same size and shape.

There was a smallish woman slung over his shoulder. She wore a flowing bold blue dress with sunflowers bursting in color across the skirt. Her body bounced, as his every long stride slapped the concrete sidewalk. His long strides carried him quickly around the corner and out of sight of the site.

Within a couple heartbeats another man ran up to me. "I'm the Coroner, did you see a man run by with a woman's body?"

He ran around the corner. I pointed in the direction I saw him run. The Coroner ran off.

Hey! Will this be in the newspaper tomorrow? I shouted after him.


THE END
