Thank you!

Life is too short, indeed. Sometimes it gets a little wearing to feel like you're eternally trying to swim upstream... going with the flow becomes tempting. It requires conscious choice not to...

Indeed, it has always been there... and it still is. In some way — at least these days — I try to find a small measure of gratitude that there was an actual set of eyeballs on the post, not just a bot

If we do end up having an "Alt coin rally" and Hive somehow finds it way back up to about $1.00 (simply "by association")... no doubt there'll be a fresh influx of people seeking their

Most of them are basically cash grabs. Which is not entirely different from the early days of the Internet where there were lots of idiots ready to throw money at anyone who said "I have a web site!"

I'm not going to give up on it, either. Perhaps the best we can do is simply to continue using the venue in the way we feel makes the most sense. I've made no secret of the reason I found my way here being

I still think the biggest "problem" crypto faces - and I don't specifically mean Hive, in this context - is creating itself a new image that's not so mired down in a pervasive "get rich

Thanks! Many things are doing quite well this year while a few - our pumpkins, for example - are suffering from a weird kind of "dwarfism" we can't quite explain. But such is the natural world...

Above all, I find the whole process super calming and a great way to take my mind off the various woes of life and the world, in general.

Thanks for supporting my content!

There's a lot of "Hidden" inflation, too. Take our homeowner's insurance. 12 years ago, it was $57-ish a month. On the latest renewal, it was $188/month. The actual premium per $1,000 hasn't

From where I am sitting, those seem like reasonable and proportional ambitions... based in actual tangible reality. It's pretty close to what we're striving for, as well. We have the house, the vehicle

Thanks! It was a welcome and much needed break.

Thanks for the honor and shoutout; I very much appreciate it!
