Tonight

 I worked from 2:45 PM to 7:45 PM.  I went in, and learned masks will be required of even the vaccinated.  This is an expected development.  Hence why I continued to wear my mask.  To social distance.  Eventually, a time will come when it will lo longer be time to wear a mask and social distance.  But right now, that is the way of things.  All I did today was gather carts, and sweep the side walk.  I need to get in there and start bagging.  After all, that is a part of my job.  I helped a couple customers with groceries though.  

I just took out the garbage.  Garbage here on my street is Tuesday, and Friday.  That means setting out the trash on Monday Night and Thursday night.  Also, on Thursday night the recycle goes out as well.  Not to interesting.  But it does set myself a good reminder.

What is interesting is that my brother William handed me a copy of Mapping America: Exploring the Continent.  I had heard of this book in school.  It is a much needed addition to my list of history and geography books.  Thanks Mom!  Mom says she thought I would enjoy it.    The first chapter is marked, "America-- the future of mapping since 1507" by Frank Jacobs.  The introduction delves into Lester John, terra incognita, and Marco Polo.  Then, goes into describe how Columbus landed on an unknown continent.  That the European empires were taken by surprise by the discovery, in such, that they rapidly hired soldiers, explorers, and mapmakers to help forge their empires and as the book said, "close the vacuum".  

Cover of Mapping of America
I am so glad to add this volume to my collection of History, Geography, and Geology books.  Thanks again Mom!  I am glad Amazon had a picture of the cover of the book.  Having an image to post makes sharing my blog much easier.  It probably makes reading my blog more enjoyable.  

I checked on Yahoo.  Not much of interest on there.  The free news source is letting me down.  Well, thats ok, I can pick back up with Yahoo tomorrow.  I did see one news story claim that Conservatives in Florida are rushing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.  Other than that, it looks like Yahoo is safe for another day.  Well, time for me to log off for a while.  Hope you have had a good day.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...

Rhetorical Writing Triangle

  Rhetorical Writing Triangle I wanted to run an advertising campaign.  To test out the features of pinterest business mode .  I chose this Rhetorical Writing Triangle to advertise.  The campaign has generated 61 clicks.  It is clear, I do not know what I am doing.  But I am interested in learning so I could help out and maybe make some money.  It is clear, many people want to learn about Rhetorical Writing.  Yet, do they even teach it in school?  I have no idea.  I was home schooled.  But I did attend Christian Liberty Academy.  I remember some of there Grammar involved Essay writing.  Book reports too.
