MGR Blog Tour: Blog Share
Welcome regular Merry Go Round Blog Tour readers and April A-Z Challenge readers. The A-Z Post is titled “Quarry,” and if you’re allowed to read adult themes, I think you’ll enjoy meeting two characters from Granite Hill in today’s post. If you’re not, stick around and check out the blog tour post about three blogs I read regularly and why.
This is a tough topic. I subscribe to over one hundred blogs via The Old Reader. Certainly there must be three blogs I read regularly, right? Ummm. Sort of. I suppose I need to confess my category titled “Spurs” is on top of my feed. That means I regularly read six blogs about the NBA San Antonio Spurs (to distinguish from the European football Spurs team). Should I be ashamed to admit that on a blog tour related to writing? Probably. If you have any interest in them, you already know what they are, and if you don’t, I’m not going to bore you with the details.
The second category is Writers. I’ve subscribed to 32 writer’s blogs. My “Go-to” writer blogs have shifted over the years, and I hesitate to name names, because it’s a constantly shifting terrain.
The third category, which is about to be boosted to the top category, is weather. I do track the National Hurricane Center. Since it’s the “off-season” for hurricanes and the regular season for NBA Basketball, this makes sense to me. But hurricane season is rapidly approaching. Are you prepared for foul weather likely to be found in your geographic area? Check the National Hurricane Center’s site for preparedness to make sure. Maybe you’re getting ready to enter tornado season? Here’s where to go to check your preparedness. If you’re in Alabama or other coastal regions, get ready for both.
See you next month!
My first job offer after college was from NOAA, and I considered it seriously. The problem with NOAA is that, when you least want to go outside, that’s when you HAVE to go to work. My daughter was a toddler then, and I couldn’t see leaving her with a sitter while I drove through an ice storm or tornado watch to get to a job, knowing it might be days before I could get home again.
But it would have been a very interesting job!
Subscribe to blogs? I don’t think I’m subscribed to any, but it’s a great idea.
