Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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've been there and I agree, no way would I do it. I can't believe she sent a cat in a barrel over to test the barrel, how inhumane is that?

In response to "People to Remember"

I feel like I'm talking to ghosts when I write/talk/message with folks from a job I left 20 years ago. One contacted me out-of-the-blue last month.

Family from my childhood would be nice. I was never "allowed" to talk to family growing up. Plus, I would have adult questions to ask that might fill in voids of my past.

Wow! It does sound like a really interesting book. I will have to look for it.

I was lucky to get some beautiful moon pictures this evening.

Too much light pollution here. I keep missing auroras, comets...

It looks like we are in for a few Celestial events. I hope we get clear skies around here, so we can enjoy them.

Thank you for taking me for a walk. I loved autumn growing up. Still do. The leaves are turning here and the weather has been grand. Too withdrawn this year to fully enjoy it though.

So interesting! I learned a thing or two from your entry, although I already knew birds even some other living things might have less or more or duller and more precise eyesight.

"Roll Out the Barrel "

Sorry not a thrill seeker. I would not go over Niagra falls in a barrel. I once read a book about each person that had attempted the feat. Most died. Plus, the barrels broke up often before they even hit the bottom.

"An estimated 5000 corpses of people have been found at the bottom of the falls. It is estimated that 40 people a year go over the falls." Going over the falls in a barrel is no proof you will survive. Even the barrel may not survive. And the condition of your body is also something to think about.

Have you ever seen the falls? Have you heard the roar of the water. Think science. What force is all that water pressing at the bottom as it falls. Nope not me.

Just the facts. From Apondia
