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. |
  Would you ever take a trip to a place "off the grid?" Where would you go? I think I am off the grid. But, I guess a state park would be more off the grid than my home. Just a trip would be fun but, isn’t going to happen because I have lots of pets. I could take the dog with me maybe. But, not the parrots and cats. Well, my kitten (two years old) would love a trip as long as she can sleep safe. Also, it is a problem to hire someone I could trust to house sit. I used to nag K to go to places around that offer trails to bike ride and walk on but, it just isn’t his thing. If the situation was right I think a dude ranch or trip to a riding establishment would be fun. Right now a trip around the block in the car seems kind of fun. Covid isn't conducive to thinking about new environments. So, I think we are as far off the grid as we are going to be for now. ![Merit Badge in Blog Camping

I would travel to the ends of the earth with you. It was a very enjoyable blogging experience. Thank you for participating. *^*Heart*^* Lyn](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-Blog_Camping-1788309_13.gif) |
| Imagine the year is 2030. Write about what has happened in your life over the last decade in the past tense. Dear Me: Imagine the year is 2030. Write about what has happened in your life over the last decade in the past tense. Dear Me: It’s been ten years more now. Ten years doesn’t sound like much when you are constantly learning about new things. Home security is big business even for small incomes. There are lots of new gadgets out there like flashlights and batteries that charge with USB. Drones are used more for security in the cities. We even have a drone that we can program to skim the walking trails once in awhile. Most people have changed over to greener appliances. There are more windmills since they learned to make them bird safe. Solar took off, as well so we have a lot of ways to bring in electricity. I’m still fond of my corn heat. That’s because I like going to bed warm and waking up warm. Only now, I have a corn furnace to go along with the stove which uses the existing heat runs. If it’s possible I’m slower and my hair is whiter. The mortgage is paid so I’m putting in a lift so I don’t have to walk up and down stairs 40 times a day. Just for the exercise I still use the stairs sometimes. We built horse and walking trails and took on a few horse boarders to offset the tax burden. The three cats and now two dogs are still around. I take the dogs walking along the trails. They like getting out of the house. I changed my desktop to a laptop a few years ago. WIFI has become more stable as the years move along. Covid 19 was conquered and the world was more prepared for the 2nd pandemic. It was almost cleared out before it began. The USA began educating children and turning lots of smart brains toward science. The medicine business started leaning toward the natural way to achieve health. I am working on a new degree. It took me a few years to decide which one to go after. WDC is still around. Too many people can't do without it. Quite a large crowd on the site now. Ten years isn’t enough but, the world is definitely changing. Looks like the next generation has a chance at making their mark. |
