I've been to the burn four times. This one was my best. I camped by myself in Hushville and made several new friends. If you've never been there I recommend attending at least once in your life. I plan

It's good to find a fellow saloner here on Steem.it. This is a fun place to play :-)! ... and thanks for listening to the salon.

... so I just checked out Tau Chain, and now it looks like I've been sidetracked from writing and more today because Tau Chain appears so interesting that I've got to learn more ... thanks for the tip,

I'm glad that you pointed that out about not being able to alter history once it's on a blockchain. If you read Homo Deus and agree with its conclusions about AIs, this is even more encouraging, because

You make me feel much better about not leaving the scene for a bit to get my camera. I hope that you enjoy my book.

Thanks for the kind words. Although I was well along with a book to follow it, I have recently tossed it all out and I'm now working on a completely new direction for it to head in. But all is up in the

I've been working to finish my latest book. Now I've got time for SteemIt once again. One of my closest friends lives in Biloxi and was also stationed at Keesler. You and I were fortunate to experience

Thanks. Since I no longer am in contact with my old Navy buddies, I don't have many people to tell my stories to. So it is nice to hear that you liked it.

I'm lucky to be able to get Guinness here in San Diego. And most people would be surprised to know that this county has one of the largest number of microbrewers in the country.

I know what you mean. It wasn't until I got older and saw how quickly my friends and family members had been more or less forgotten a year or so after they died that I realized what a slim grasp we have

I was lucky to get that photo. It was during my time in the Navy, and I was attending a school in San Francisco at the time. So my wife and children came up at the end of the week for a short visit to

It is rare to come across someone like you, but whenever I am around people who seem pleasantly happy with life it elevates my own mood considerably. So Thank You!

It's the Chrysler Building in New York City.

I just followed you, but I'm new to Steemit. What do you mean by "tag me"?
