The Goat Island Marine Discovery Center and Glass Bottom Boat are more to my speed these days. All though, I could be talked into the snorkeling if an experienced snorkeler explained it to me in detail and showed me how to use the equipment. The only problem, I might have, with the snorkeling concerns the swimming part. The Kiwi bar food sounds interesting and inviting. The blackboard menu sound intriguing and probably has food I have never tasted before. I enjoy new food experiences because they attract my taste buds and get my creative juices flowing.
DAY 2280: Fun facts Friday, check out these interesting facts and write about whatever one interests you the most. https://www.rd.com/culture/interesting-facts/ It's been an interesting news week. Some guy caught a 20 pound gold fish, his sister or someone took a picture of him holding the fish. It was gold and, appeared to be 20 lbs. I don't think it was an actual gold fish, but another species with similar coloring. Next there was the article about camels wandering into someone's yard in Arizona (I think it was somewhere in Arizona), and animal control or the police catching the camels. Those things are weird enough, and should get the creative juices flowing to create a story using them. I found the fact about Ophiocordyceps, the tropical fungus that turned ants into zombies, most interesting. This is another item that gets the creative juice flowing. Studies are focusing ways to use this discovery to control pest, especially carpenter ants that cause structure damage to buildings. I suspect there are numerous ways this information can be used in a science fiction or fantasy story. The article about this fungus is found at https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/05/110511-zombies-ants-fungus-infe...
DAY 1880: It's Friday, what are your plans for the weekend? Tell us what's happening around where you live? My Plans For The Weekend Finish editing fantasy newsletter. Begin cleaning out my WDC inbox. Finish transcribing poems to "Devotional Poetry" and "Poem Experiments" . Finish transcribing older hard copy short stories to "Flashes of Inspiration" . Do Vindale Research surveys to build up the money in that account, so that I can request payment. Accomplish some of this weeks goals that I didn't complete. Attempt to get back into review routine. Keep a closer eye on smart phone so that it does not turn itself off in the middle of the night because the battery has no charge. Begin unpacking back suitcase to see what is in it, and what has to be done with the items. I will be happy, and feel I've accomplished between 3 to 6 items on that lists. |
