Investing is so psychologically demanding. We tend to get emotionally invested in things and those emotions blind us and then we beat ourselves up for opportunities we missed, decisions we made (or didn't

I think we're in a very challenging time, financially, right now. It's worrisome. The only ones who seem to be prospering are those who already had a big stake in BTC (and got in early) or have huge positions

I'm happy you enjoyed it. Thank you! I totally agree. I think like most things in life the motivation for "more" can be boiled down to brain chemicals. Once we get that first dopamine hit from

Thank you so much @owasco. I love that correlation you made. It seems as we grow older we become more and more wrapped up inside a cocoon of our memories. As I was writing this I was imagining how 'full

Wow, I'm sorry this happened. I'm glad you have a generator! It's frightening to think how vulnerable we all are during power outages. We've been losing power during almost every storm now. I'm not sure

I love how your words constantly remind me there is more to life than meets the eye! I bought your book, Spiritual Harvest, on Amazon and am looking forward to reading it this summer.

What a weird market cycle this has been. I'm afraid it's the new normal now that so much BTC is tied up by Wall Street ETFs and banks. I suspect we'll see a massive green candle after the SpaceX IPO—so

What a mess the world is in right now. We're experiencing the same kind of unchecked fraud and violence here in the the US. The authorities aren't even making arrests in a lot of cases and even when they

Happy tenth anniversary! It's insane that a decade has gone by. There aren't many of us OGs left. What good memories we've made.

There's much to be said about contentment. Feelings of contentment are so much better than endless wants.

Hello Luis! All is well. We're enjoying summer—finally. Thanks so much. It's been a while since I've written a poem. I started this while we were in Sedona a few weeks ago and finally had some hours to

Thank you! There was once a time when most companies stood behind their products. Our generation is probably the last to remember that. There certainly are some beautifully made knives out there. I've

I think climate change a natural cycle but it's been accelerated/made worse by human activities. From what I've read our planet goes through natural cycles of warmer periods and ice ages—sometimes brought

Nice. My "newer" one is the Wave but even that one is over 20 years old now. The Wave is so heavy it isn't practical at all to carry. It's almost overwhelming looking at their website now, there

Thank you! That's wonderful. They really nailed the design of these older ones. They might not have as many tools as the newer ones but some of the newer ones are too heavy to carry in your pocket.

Thank you! That's a nice ranger grip! I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of the modern multitools from Leatherman. They aren't cheap but will last you more than a lifetime. I find myself reaching for mine

Thank you! I feel that way too, with certain things. I was thrilled by the customer service experience with Leatherman. In this day and age great customer service is a real rarity. There are only a handful

You can't go wrong with either of those brands. Which Leatherman model do you have? They make some beautiful knives! Those would surely be something to pass on to future generations.

One of the YouTubers I watch visited Venezuela!

I was shocked, really, especially since customer service is generally so bad now. There's quite a demand for these older ones. The new ones are nice but there's just somethign about the simplicity of the
