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'm having trouble with Edge too, not letting me read everything I download as well. Annoying!

In response to "Poo Bear Too."

We had 3 sets of encyclopedias, 2 newspapers daily, one on Sunday. We didn't have many magazines and very few books.

So, I read a lot... just not much that was fluff or gossip.

I remember Prince Valiant. I like some political cartoons.

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.

Beautiful entry! I love how you relate to things and your conclusions, such as: "Weather has its' own ideology." Very writerly!

In response to "Weather Moment"

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.

In response to "Coincidence!"

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.

In response to "Pine Woods"

I wish I had a dog or cat or pet. Maybe if I rented from someone who had them I could travel and then come home to my friends.

In response to "winter wonderland"

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.

Unfortunately, I do the same.

Books and an Author

Prompt: Rading a Book

Hi! I'm Apondia

Just finished reading a book called "The Body" by Bill Bryson. Be prepared, if you read the book to wade through some very specific data about the Body. The library did ask me to finish the book or send it back because many people wanted to read it. Sometimes I have to renew a book if I'm reading it slowly this time I would not have that option.

I am interested to finding out that a lot of people in library land are trying to discover anatomy and physiology. I am not alone in my pursuit to learn specifics in the makeup of our organic nature. One of the courses I took online called the human body an Organic Machine. I think that is the best description I have learned so far.

In chemistry the shape of organic molecules differs from the shape of other molecules. Simply speaking organic molecules are three dimensional. That is enough description for this article.

The author of this book, Bill Bryson, also wrote "A Walk in the Woods". I think there is a movie about this as it is about a man walking alone on the Appalachian trail. Watched from Amazon on my kindle. Another Amazing story.

Guess I'll go read a book. Just started a paperback book I bought on Amazon. Went looking for a bookmark found one on my desk from

It needs coloring. I really like getting the paper bookmarks then coloring them. Always like my mail from WDC. Have a great day. Day light savings changes again. Spring forward--Fall back. Bye.BB
