So here it is - Day 1. My thoughts and impressions for 30 days recorded here in an attempt at a writing exercise about anything that strikes me as interesting, notable or otherwise worth mentioning. A 30 day challenge that I noticed my friend Ken had accepted earlier (read his here) which had intrigued me. So, I'm following suit and trying this. Maybe I'll be the only one reading this; who knows...I think it does me some good to capture thoughts in an organized manner, If you, the reader, enjoy this then I'm glad you're here - feel free to leave a comment as well.
Today is November 1st and I can say I 'm thankful its a new month. Especially glad that its November because while I have my personal reasons it also marks a welcome change in the weather around here. An ending slightly of the insufferable heat and humidity we endure here in equatorial Georgia. The wind is up and the temperatures are down. There's a pork roast smoking on the grill and not too much agenda today which is a smooth antidote to the kind of busy last few weeks I've had. The change in the season here has an effect of a joyous mood because it is the feel of the start of the holiday times; as if the weather of thanksgiving has arrived and we can now light fires / wear fall clothes and begin making plans for times spent with family and friends.
In my many drives around Georgia I recently came across something unique in the Hawkinsville area. A multi acre field that was filled with a large array of flat antennas all arranged symmetrically in long rows . Turns out that this is a receiver station facility of the US Space Command "Space Fence". The transmitters were in Texas, Arizona and Alabama. Several more receiver stations are across the US - all very near the 33rd parallel. Very interesting history of what brought this system about and what its capabilities were. Read more here
Nice start! I like your fall colors on your background. Look forward to reading more :)
