Just before reaching the Bridgewater Cemetery in today's world either
by walking, jogging, fast walking ( there is a man who I saw occasionally
who exercises that way), driving or by Old Order Mennonite horse and
buggy there is on the left at the corner of US State Route 42 and Cemetery
Road (I ain't quite sure of the name ??) (if you turn left here and travel by
any of the above ways for 2 or 3 miles more or less you reach the
intersection of this road with US Route 11, you will be close to the to the
accident I was involved in and describe in an earlier story), a black
buckboard pulled by a black horse, the buckboard made of wood
and the horse maybe of a plastic related material....

World's wilderness reduced by a tenth since 1990s
By Helen Briggs
From the section Science & Environment
"A tenth of the world's wilderness has vanished in the past two decades,
research shows.
New maps show "alarming losses" of pristine landscapes, particularly
in South America and Africa, according to World Conservation Society
scientists.
They argue in Current Biology that wild areas are ignored in international
conservation agreements, despite their ecological and cultural value.
About 20% of the world's land area is classed as wilderness.
By this, scientists mean landscapes free of large-scale human disturbances
such as housing, development and industry.
The majority of these untouched spaces are found in North America, north
Asia, north Africa and Australia.
They are often home to indigenous peoples as well as endangered plants
and animals....

RIO 2016 PARALYMPICS....

"The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will be held from 7-18 September 2016.
The Brazilian city, with its stunning landmarks, will provide a perfect
backdrop for the pinnacle of each para-athlete’s career: the Paralympic
Games.
Around 4,350 athletes from more than 160 countries will travel to Rio
to compete in 528 medal events in 22 different sports.
Of the total number of athletes set to take part, approximately 1,650 will
be women - a 9.9 per cent increase on London 2012 and more than double
the 790 who took part in the Atlanta 1996 Games. They will compete in
224 medal events, equating to 43 per cent of all medal events and a
12 per cent increase on London, with athletics, cycling and swimming
providing additional events for women.
Canoe and triathlon will be included in the Games for the first time in
Rio and each sport will stage six medal events – evenly split between
male and female athletes – whilst the existing 20 summer sports will
feature no less medal events than in London.
The Rio 2016 Organising Committee commits itself to "deliver excellent
Games, with memorable celebrations that will promote the global image
of Brazil, underpinned by social and urban sustainable transformation
through sport, contributing to the growth of the Olympic and Paralympic
Movements."....

MOTHER AND FATHER
Continued from the 203rd post....
I remember Tammy and her husband's dirt biker son's name now. Blade I
believe it is and I like that name a lot. I believe that Tammy always drove
the vehicle that towed the trailer that held Blade's dirt bike and her husband
served as navigator. If Tammy and her family or anyone who knows her and
is reading this, please thank Tammy and her family for helping me in the
Harrisonburg Walmart..............and just remembered something, I saw that
the Hair Corral was open very late one night. I cannot remember the
hairdresser's name, sorry, but she helped me too. She works straight north
of Tammy on the other side of the mirrored wall. I hope you'll thank her, too....

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
The mulching of that new corner flower bed I did yesterday helps
the flowers to retain life saving water and prevent weeds from
growing that would compete with the flowers for water, sun and
carbon dioxide.
I believe it rained more last night after I went to sleep so I can certainly
take a break from watering the flowers. I hope I won't be distracted by
other things today because I want to do more landscaping and I also
want to replant some more sunflowers to the new back corner garden.
I can work in the rain if ain't lightening. At Father and Mother's last home
on Herring Lane, I took the lawn roller that my Father filled with cement
and pulled it by the tractor in the rain.
