I was walking around outside my office the other day and I noticed a massive flock of seagulls (that's right), flying overhead. I decided to quick try and take some photos that I am going to share with you today. Usually, the bird all start to fly south this time of year. It's a migratory thing, I don't know... science, but in this case, these seagulls were actually flying up the coast to the north.

I was trying to think of the perfect way to start this post today, and things just kind of fell into place with the markets not necessarily going the way we want right now. Sure, the pump to an new ATH of $126 was pretty awesome, but like a lot of people, I think there was some hope that it was going to keep going. Of course, there is still time for it to go up an this is likely people taking some gains, but it still can be a bit disheartening at times.

As always, it is important to zoom out and remember that we are still over $120K. That's pretty freaking awesome if you think back to the past. The lowest I can remember BTC after I started following it was around $3000 per coin in March of 2018 or 2019 I think it was. Okay, maybe I don't remember as well as I thought I did.

BRO

If you are part of the BRO community or you have heard of it before, they have some big news coming out today. I would keep your ear to the ground for that. It's pretty rare that we see exciting new stuff happen here on HIVE. It's mostly just people scraping away from some votes or people pilfering the DHF with ridiculous proposals. I'm actually tempted to write my own, but my morality seems to be getting in the way.

Like I said, keep your eyes open for some news dropping later this morning. It could be pretty cool.

Random Pics

I can't remember if I shared this photo earlier, but I wanted to throw it out there for @seattlea. I apologize if I already shared it. I remember I started writing a post a while ago and then I scrapped it and took it in a different direction and I think this photo was in the part that I threw away.

I stopped at the local Costco the other day to fill up @mrsbozz's car. I think he tank holds just about 14 gallons, so it is relatively small, but it's a 4 cylinder, so it gets pretty good gas mileage. Anyway. Almost 13 gallons of gas for $40. That's pretty typical around where I live. Prices have been floating between $2.80 per gallon and $3.20 per gallon most of the summer. It just depends on which gas station you go to and where it is located.

Precious Metals

I wrote a post a while ago about the health and medicinal benefits of silver. I also mentioned a bit ago that I recently had a wart removed off the bottom of my foot. The doctor prescribed me this antibiotic cream to put on it twice a day as I change the dressing to help promote healing and keep it clean. I was delighted to find out it was silver sulfadiazine cream as you can see from the photo above.

The cream actually does contain silver though in quite small amounts. The silver has antimicrobial properties and the sulfadiazine is an antibiotic.

In another funny precious metals story, I was watching my nephew at football game the other day and @mrsbozz's mom turned to my father in law and asked if he had turned in her gold teeth. My wife asked why and I immediately said "because gold just went over $4000 an ounce!". Her mom confirmed that was exactly why she was asking, but it turns out he had sold the gold filings years before.

Fall is starting to settle in here, and it is hard to believe that we are almost to the middle of October. I don't think things have been quite as exciting as many hoped, but there are others who aren't that surprised with the slog we have been trudging through.

@mrsbozz and I are heading on our final camping trip of the summer this weekend and while I hope to just relax, I am still planning on taking my laptop in case any exciting crypto stuff happens. As long as my hotspot can get signal I guess!

I have a ton more I planned on talking about today, but I don't want this post to drag on too long, so I am going to close for the week. I hope you have an amazing time and I hope the markets give us something to smile about this weekend. If not, smile anyway, it's good for you!
