Very glad to hear you were able to cut loose for a bit. So important to be around normalish people doing normalish things now and then! Sounds like a real bash to remember... except a few spots toward the end perhaps, hmmm..... hehe.
How has your vape tool thingy been working out? Sometimes those kinds of things start well and then break down, or need parts, or are obsoleted, etc. Hopefully yours has provided you with plenty of happy usages : )
I like how you said that, blessed to have a few more pieces of the puzzle than most. Nicely put! We certainly don't have all the pieces and it's important to recognize that. At the same time, yeah, so frustrating to see people flounder, when it seems so straightforward, and the puzzle pieces are all available to them without too much effort or cost.
I got discouraged in 2010 or so when I had been spreading knowledge on YouTube for 2 years. Why didn't the price of gold and silver skyrocket? Why is the Fed still in business? Why is tyranny encroaching? Why is censorship creeping into the internet? Why doesn't anyone seem to notice or care? Why are cures for cancer known only to those willing to look outside the officially-designated information sources? I thought that kind of knowledge, which changes lives, would spread instantly now that it was out there, and everybody had internet access. Nope. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion and not being able to affect anything, no matter what you do. Discouraging. But I have faith that truth wins out in the end, always... I hope I live to see that day! Until then, we do what we can to educate ourselves and others.
Have a great week, Sam!
