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. |
Madagascar The lyrics of Bali Ha'i from Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific remind me of the natural beauty and biological diversity of Madagascar. Bali Ha'i environments can only be explored by brave people with pure hearts who dare to explore the secrets of the land. Constance Tsarabanjia is a beautiful place to visit. I particularly liked the swings in the cabins. I also enjoyed the open-air idea of the South Sea Islands type of housing. I doubt the idea that humans are physically related to lemurs. There are a lot of different species of lemurs living in the many National Parks of this country. One is the Golden Lemur. The national parks here are beautiful and have some very wild parts. The truth is even though Humans have similar DNA to Chimpanzee's it is not the same as chimps. Humans and Apes may have a similar remote ancestor. That is not presently a proven fact. It is one of the most erroneous of facts that homosapiens are descended directly from any species of ape. Madagascar is sometimes related to as the 8th continent because of its' biological diversity. I visited the Baobab Avenue. The trees are awesomely large. They used to be part of a large forest. The forest has been removed over the years by humans. It leaves the Baobab trees standing. They only drink when liquid is needed. They are called Hydro Homies because they need the Dihydrogen Monoxide of the liquid, they intake. A great place to travel. New things to learn about the earth. |
