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.

I think trees have learned to mankind's abuse, I don't see them as stick in an environmental cycle.

Great that you learned to read early, as did I, at three and a half from my grandmother, by asking her the letters on her wall-calendar.

And yes, we do get to have different teachers for different things in life.

In response to "Risks? Which One"

I so agree with you. Everything has a risk. And I don't like any uncertainty either. Safer is better.

In response to "Dreams"

Graves does remind us how easily one dream can fade and another begins. I think it's definitely a thought-provoking poem.

In response to "Pineapples and Stories"

Interesting story, Judith. I think you're familiar with tornados. I've experienced two, thankfully we weren't in the direct path for the brunt of the damage. It takes a community to restore things back to some kind of normalcy.

In response to "Still Here."

I've written my own obituary and I've updated it each time I've moved. I've got some more work to do to finish my updated will but if something were to happen my existing will won't be the worst case scenario either. I just feel that the more I have in order the less stress my children will have on their plates.

Riding the Rails

Anchorage to Fairbanks by railroad:

"Be like a train; go in the rain, go in the sun, go in the storm, go in the dark tunnels! Be like a train; concentrate on your road and go with no hesitation!" By /Mehmet Murat ildan http://www.wiseoldsayings.com/train-

This is a 45 minute film

Well, I've been away from the trip for too long. I'm not sure this train ride that I took to get back on track is what Travel Guide Lyn had in mind. Nevertheless, I saw a lot of scenery while I rode the train.

The ride featured is on the ARR Central and Mountain Division. The passenger who remains antonymous was riding the 130N and 130S freight from anchorage to Fairbanks. It passed through many towns and over bridges that crossed rivers. We saw Anderson, Nenana, went over the Kashwittna River bridge, and passed through Denali National Park. I was interested to see there was a lot of places to hold on as the train picked up speed.

I had a buffet meal brought into my suite for breakfast and everyone is invited, Pwheeler, prosperous snow globe, Ice_Dragoness Snow Dreaming, travel guide Lyn, Carly, Queen Kissy, Yes! and anyone else on the trip I don't know about. There is lots of food so drag in people out of the lobby if you want? The Marriott is always a nice place to stay. I used to stay there in Texas when we traveled to shows on the A Circuit.

I just can't keep on track but i KEEP TRYING to get back to the trip as often as I can.

Bye for now I'm going to hop another train.
