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. |
Prompt: Your Country What do you think is the most misunderstood thing about your home country by other people in the world: its culture, education, wealth, friendliness of people, or anything else you can think of? I immediately think of freedom when I read this prompt. We are not free to inflict damage on other people's rights. We are free to grow in knowledge, actionable reactions, and individuality. We have laws which control the way freedom is used improperly and to help people reassess their definition of the word freedom. Just keeping an eye on the situation in which the word freedom is being used helps understand the definition of freedom. We watched the Memorial Day concert in Washington D.C. We do this on Memorial Day and on July 4th. I was thinking of the Ukraine during the whole concert. Remember the USA is a complicated country. A melting pot of ideology and sociology. Our congress, president, and legal elders have to make decisions for everyone to abide in a peaceful manner. |
