Hi all! Today's edition has only nine entries. As I was writing this up the tenth one kept bugging me because some of it seemed familiar. And it was! Please, if you are interested in a topic and wish to write about it, use your own words!

I've been trying to work up the courage to enter simgirlandsnook@simgirlandsnook's Bad Karaoke Contest. Out on the water in my kayak I finally decided to just do it! It was strangely fun. I suggest you give it a try and support this great initiative!

Onward to today’s rambling

The Daily Sneak 26 May 2018 - With Guest Curator @katysavage

thedailysneak@thedailysneak is a daily curation that offers everyone the chance to share their favourite posts and get paid for it! The Steem Basic Income team is behind this initiative and I think it deserves our support. This issue is curated by katysavage@katysavage who has become one of my favourite Steemians and I can always count on being able to go birding vicariously through her posts. Excellent work SBI Team!

The Wild-Man'S Wild Friends - Episode 64 - Eastern Narrow Mouthed Toad

I just recently discovered papa-pepper@papa-pepper. His videos are informative and sometimes exciting. If you are behind the times like me and haven't yet watched any of his productions I highly recommend spending some time to explore them. Amazing work papa-pepper@papa-pepper!

Memorial Day - In The U.S.

The U.S. has a "holiday" every year to commemorate all who have fallen while in service of their country. That day is Memorial Day and I think bluefinstudios@bluefinstudios captured it perfectly. bluefinstudios@bluefinstudios is a photographer and fellow birder who produces some stunning shots. Beautiful post bluefinstudios@bluefinstudios!

Ocean Graffiti in N.Y.C. - One Of The Coolest I've Ever Come Across!

waybeyondpadthai@waybeyondpadthai found this amazing graffiti on Coney Island, NY. I agree with her that it's amazing! Yet another YELL out to us to think of our environment and how the products we use every day affect it. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip waybeyondpadthai@waybeyondpadthai.

This Is What A Fresh Meteorite Looks Like. An Authentic Rock From Space.

I have to admit I probably wouldn't have noticed this piece of rock on the ground. galacticstone@galacticstone has shown me that I need to keep an eye out for these little beauties. This post has excellent information about meteorites. Great post glacticstone@glacticstone.

Geothermal Energy; Lets Talk About Plugging Into The Earth!

Geothermal energy is fascinating. rharphelle@rharphelle has shared some of the mechanics behind how this "clean" energy works. I hope to see these plants popping up all over the world...but of course here in Canada would be amazing. Thanks for the info rharphelle@rharphelle.

Waterlily Turbine: Using Wind And Water to Power Your Tech

I tend to agree with ourdailyboard@ourdailyboard's assessment of this cool gadget but I also don't camp with much gear that needs charging. HOWEVER...utilising running water to create energy? That is very cool~ Thanks for sharing ourdailyboard@ourdailyboard!

Geodes vs Thunder Eggs

As an amateur "RockHound" (I prefer RockHead but I have been informed that's not the right term..LOL) I'm always learning new things. roswellrockman@roswellrockman has taught me the difference between Geodes and Thunder Eggs. Honestly, I had never heard the term "Thunder Egg" before. What a delightful name! Great post roswellrockman@roswellrockman!

Mighty Steem Explorer Game! Discover the Location & Win the SBD

mrprofessor@mrprofessor joins this curation yet again with a fun contest!! I think you'll enjoy this one. mrprofessor@mrprofessor's posts are highly entertaining! Don't miss his hitchhiking adventures and good luck in the contest! Great idea mrprofessor@mrprofessor!

Until next time friends...
