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.

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.

The Carter Family - Keep On The Sunnyside (Live 1965) IN COLOUR!

I don't really know the history of the Carter Family.  For all I know, they are related to Jimmy Carter.  But I like this song!  I first heard it in the film O Brother Where Art Thou?  when I saw the film in the theater.  But unfortunately, the film featured George Clooney who came out against Trump.  So, I put off listening to this song, until I saw the Carter version of it.  I know of June Carter- she married Johnny Cash!

Completing This Post

 I saw this unfinished post from October 30, 2024.  So, I decided to finish it.  I cannot remember what it was going to be about!  So, I will do my best, to put a complete thought.  I am at work right now, too!  Maybe I should not be posting- oh, well. I am not even sure how to share an image here!  But maybe that is ok.  Normally, on this blog I share an image, or a video, or music.  Mostly from YouTube, because I like the platform and have supported it in the past.  But now it is not allowing me to share here, from YouTube.   Anyways, I am sitting in my car.  All day it's been raining off and on.  I guess there is flooding at this time in part of Texas known as "The Hill" Country.  At a camp, some girls were killed in the flooding!  They have received historic amounts of water. I have been researching about something known as "Epic City", it is a "Master planned" city, with Sharia Law at its root!  Sh...
