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. |

Some type of life that had similarities to humans would be a surprise. There have been some articles over the last several months that expound about finding planets that may be habitable. We can't drive over to one of them and say howdy yet so, why is the interest growing? I would like to see real space transportation before I can be very enthusiastic about new planets. When they landed on the moon I thought it would be fun to visit the moon. I kind of figured people would set up a base there to monitor space. Nope, that was just a discarded piece of land. Getting there was the fun, I guess? Space news is interesting. The value of it may grow if scientists working on space travel ever actually show us some real action. So far it just says "Hey, look what I found." O.K. I'll go back to reading my book now. Today it is C.S. Lewis, "The Great Divorce." Bye |
