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.
kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.
IMHO, The weather is less predictable than 50 years ago. Regardless, there are cycles.
We have had brutal winds this week, some snow, 16°F right now. The cold is important to kill off the nasties and snow in the mountains will help our streams come summer.
I got a cane for walking but it won't help with ice.
I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.
I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.
My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.
What are your thoughts on the recent airplane and the helicopter in the
DC area? Do you believe there are going to more of these tragedies or less?
Hi.
Early yesterday morning I went to NBC news on my Kindle. A reporter was telling that he had listened to a tape about conversations between air traffic controllers and helicopter pilots and airplane pilots in which; both were well aware of where their aircraft were situated in the sky.
Then the horror happened, and air traffic controllers could not decern how it happened.
The reporter at that time acknowledged that what he heard was not yet available to the news media.
The news conferences I watched later in the day did not refer to or acknowledge these taped conversations. As of last night, the earlier report was actually still listed on Kindle NBC news availabilities as a report.
Whenever, I watch or hear of tragedies in the news I am sincerely in mourning for the lost souls. Their time on the earth was up with a horrifying suddenness.
As to the second part of your question, I prefer to wait and watch.
Weather here is raining on top of several foot of snow. Now slush. Yuk.
