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. |
Quote: "Oh to be delivered from the rational into the realm of pure song."--Theodore Roethke //Taken from "Poem Crazy" by Susan goldsmith Wooldridge Just a note: I am having a lot of trouble with our Wi-Fi. So, for a while I just stayed off it. It seems ok when I'm on the computer the last 3 or 4 days. We have a new, used auto with a lot of modern dials. It is just a lot of fun. The dealer programmed our home into the navigation for us. On the way home after completing the sale; we decided to go to Walmart, which was in the opposite direction from our home. The navigation voice became seriously agitated, yelling "make a legal U-turn, make a legal U-turn" over and over. After I figured out how to delete the destination, we laughed all the way to Walmart. I have related this story to other people and find that it is normal for the voice on destination to be agitated if you don't follow the programed destination. All is well for now.
