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. |
History: Did you know in June,1938 Superman debuted in Action Comics Issue 1? Do you enjoy reading comic strips with superheroes? What's your favorite? I've liked a lot of superheroes over my lifetime. Superman, Spiderman so many others. As an adult I began to realize that even Tarzan of the Apes was a kind of superhero. I read all the books written about Tarzan as a teenager. Jungles and animal friends were the draw. I was interested in being a veterinarian. Enjoyed the Tarzan movie when it was released. For a while The Fantastic Four held my attention. Lots of adventure and different talents of each member. I don't as a rule go out of my way to find superhero stories anymore. Although, if there was a comic bookstore anywhere near me I might. I know I can get comics on Kindle from Amazon. I like science fiction. Maybe the Superheroes of comic book fame fostered my enjoyment of science fiction. I guess the one I relate to is Wonder Woman. Who wouldn't like to wear wristbands that you can bounce bullets off? Or have an airplane you can call remotely to transport you to a downtown mall in the middle of a traffic jam. |
