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: Which one of these 15 Things to do in Charlotta https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g49022-Activities-Charlotte_North_Caroli... is the most fun? Fun for me denotes different types of experience. The Segway tour had its own appeal because it did a quick review of important parts of Charlotte. I enjoyed the museums because I like stuffing my brain with lots of different types of knowledge about past and present. Art is one of the ways people express life experiences. Art and literature and the people who create it are some of the first people who get eliminated when evil starts taking charge. A good example is the recent attacks in the USA on historical statues around the country and particularly in the South. There is a section in one of the museums about ancient Indian art from before Charlotte became the city it is today. If you view the architectural wonders in stadiums and buildings you might forget that this was a place that was once inhabited by Indians, before the white people came and the slave trade invaded. There is a rich history in this city that is interesting to view and hear about. It includes the ghost stories, the architecture, and social climate. Graveyards are a great place to learn about the people who used to inhabit an area. So, I guess the extensive museums were the most fun for me in this particular city. ![Merit Badge in Point of View

| 30 Day I hope you grabbed a nap because our feet hit the ground we're off and running. We're doing a segway tour with Charlotte NC Tours. This Charlotte Segway excursion lets you see more in less time than if you were to take a walking tour. Zoom through the area to see Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the Mint Museum, and Gantt Center. Plus, we extended our tour to see even more sights for just a few extra bucks we're also seeing the stadium home of the Carolina Panthers and two cemeteries.. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g49022-d11453425-Historic_Up... Don't forget to talk about your day, the things you saw and who surprised you. Charlotte The Segway tour was a quick way to view the city. I learned that the city has well educated residents. There is a university in the city. The museums are extensive. They contain any kind of art you can think of including historical pieces, famous artists works, and crafts from early history to today's art. The museum system is housed in different parts of the city. The buildings used are classic designs like the mint museum to more modern designed buildings like Bechtel Museum of modern art. Funny bus was about touring the city with a guide that was quick witted and had sarcastically funny comments to keep you entertained while pouring the history of the city into your brain. Humor is always a good way to remember facts later. Beer and wine are allowed on the bus but not hard liquor. The ghost walk was very educational. It was an evening walk with a guide who carried a lantern. Charlotte has a colorful history that was entertaining to hear about. There is a lot of older homes that are very beautiful. Different types of architecture some from civil war to modern are on view in the city. Lots of beautiful stained glass and church de co in this city. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is located here. Charlotte is the most populous city in N. Carolina. I visited the 7th street market where you can stock up on all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables. In the interest of tourism Charlotte offers convenience of parking in the down town area. Not as spectacular as Belize but a lot of local history to contemplate and discuss over good food. ![Merit Badge in Travel
