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.
My grandmother's family name in Ireland was O'Tenney but when they came to the states they were Tenney, ditched the O. I would love to know more about my ancestors.
As a poet I despise any attempt, AI or not, to change my words.
I mostly write as I speak so grammar means less to me. I rarely write essays.
Thai is similar to English that both languages have silent letters and borrowed spelling. Spanish is much easier for spelling; Thai and English have simpler grammar though.
Some years back Dune by Frant Herbert struck me as an allegory of some Catholic church doctrines. I was not impressed with that story either. Game of Thrones reminded me of Dune. Both books had their own story. Also seemed to have something else going on inside the story.
Tell me about the Bible being used as a weapon? I read it as a look into passed historical reality.
Muslims, Jews, Christians, women's rights, ageing populations, health issues, insurance prices, and others, all must be the targets.
Prompt: Have you watched the show? Which one of this commentators (journalists) did you enjoy the most? If you haven't seen the show tell us about your favorite news source.
HI! Remember me I'm the one who pops up every once in a while.
Yes. I have watched 60 Minutes many times. I like the in-depth coverage of each subject they review.
I don't have a specific journalist, that I can say I enjoy more, than any other.
I enjoy their person-to-person interviews. It is a good way to see how people are reacting to the coverage of the story in progress.
As a news program 60 Minutes coverage often expands on stories offering specific facts regular news does not take time to tell the public.
The program often has the answer to news items the public is not aware needed coverage. This type of program kind of steps into the place of print journalism. A way to keep current with almost any variety of news.
Another of my favorite news sources is PBS News Hour. They also do person to person interviews and panel discussions, that pinpoint the different sides of politics and news items.
