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. |
We are nearing the end of the month, and as always, I need your help to fill the Challenge War Chest with new prompts! In your entry today, write three of your own blogging prompts and then use one of them to complete your entry. 1. Tell about an experience you have had with nature walks, hiking, boating, camping, or even driving a car on a road trip? 2. Write about something in today's news. 3. Find something about a new technological gadget, explain it and talk about it. Ring and Drone I'm using my prompt labeled with a three. Something I just learned is this is the time of year Amazon releases new products or new features of older products. Recently, they released a new feature for their Smart Security Brand they call Ring. On TV advertisements Ring at your door can send video to your phone about who pressed the door bell. You can speak to a delivery person and even open the door lock from another room, then re lock the door behind the delivery person when they leave. The new product coming out next year attached to Ring is a small drone that can be set by an app on your phone to fly preset patterns inside your home. It has a small camera capable of taking film and sending it to the cloud. It has a motion detector that will send the drone to a place in the home where it is detecting motion. And, it can respond to fly a preset path if the alarm on Ring goes off. PACKAGE SNATCHERS AND BURGLARS BEWARE! Wish I had this when I still had horses in the barn. Even now, it might be interesting to find out what kind of activity goes on out there with rats, mice, stray cats and the occasional possum. Really, I wouldn't mind if it had night vision and I could fly it around the outside of the house and barn once in awhile after dark. Something to add to my $5,000 wish list. A drone with night vision, a camera, programmable to an app on my phone. ![Merit Badge in Point of View
