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 landed in Florida early. So, I could spend some time looking around Port Orange. My family lived there when I was very young. I was born in a hospital in Daytona Beach. I remember sitting on the steps of a school waiting for my brother to get out of school. I have not been back there since I was 12 when my dad took us there for a visit to relatives for two weeks. Now, Port Orange is nothing like it was at that time in history. There used to be a Walden's Store there where my Grandfather took me to buy an ice cream cone. Was I three?? The boat trip in Miami would be interesting. I would love the music and listening to the DJ. I'm very self conscious about dancing because of my upbringing, nevertheless it would be an interesting experience. I watched it on You Tube. A dance group in college offered to teach me Hip Hop but, I did not take them up on it. Guess I'll have to wing it. Before I headed for Florida I updated all my shots for South America. I had to renew my passport. I have not used it since the 1990's. Maybe I should take a few lessons in karate cause I'm guessing we can't carry weapons on the transportation between countries. That wouldn't help against bomb's and machine guns. What a world we live in now. I also took a tour around Miami. I don't remember ever being there before. I hope the available government helps for the trip will be worthwhile. I get to fly. I like airplane travel. OK. Onward into adventure. |
