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. |
Write about a weird, cool, unbelievable, or interesting fact you know, but don’t think many other people do.  Normally I do not read other blogs before I write my blog answer to the 30-day prompt. This morning due to the way I entered WDC by a back door route. I read the blog By Robert Waltz about blue moons before I opened my mail. Today's fact is cool, but not necessarily weird or unbelievable, just interesting. We are entering a new phase of space travel, which will concern the moon, since some enterprising people are considering building a hotel on the moon. I assume only the rich and famous will have enough cash on hand to stay within its boundaries. Finding the proper site for any architectural wonder on the moon will be interesting, because the moon has moon quakes. The Apollo program placed 4 seismometers on the moon in 1977 which recorded quakes for 7 years before they were inactivated. The quakes could be caused by cooling of the moons interior or by Earth's gravity. Quakes were recorded as high as a level 5.0. This high of a level could incur damage to any structures in range of the quake. The moon does not have tectonic plates like the earth. Faults have appeared on moon surfaces and more recent pictures show boulders have changed positions. Comparison of moon surface pictures indicate quake damage. Moon bases or hotels built will have to take this into account as a place is chosen for the structures. New Badge: ![Merit Badge in Risk Taker
