Howdy folks, it's been a minute. Hope you are well. I've been focusing my attention over on Narrative for a bit just to give it a fair try. You know, posting, commenting, upvoting.... Oh! And reading ;)

As you might imagine it is quite different from Steemit (or any of the Steem front end apps) in just about every way. So, if being opposite of steem in form and function is what they are going for, they nailed it! I am still reserving judgment as the rewards are only distributed once a month.

That's right, once per month, so I went all-in for July and am now just waiting to see if the $$ were worth the effort.

Now, let's stare at some SHINY!

This is a lovely 1 1/4 oz RCM bison coin I picked up at Bellevue Rare Coins in Issaquah, WA on my way home from Seattle last week.

And for #piratesunday, let's take a look at the obverse.

Y'aaarrrrrr M'lady!

#steemsilvergold MEETUP!!

Yup, there are more than a couple of Pacific Northwestern SSG folks and some of us were able to meet for coffee, doughnuts, and conversation. #ssgmeetupqueen @dfinney was there as well as @plaid and his lovely wife (I think) ;) Mrs.@plaid. Now I hope I am not speaking out of school here but I hear she is on Steemit as well. I do not know her name here but I feel it might be something like @paisley or @gingham. :)

Anyhow, here we are

_{Mrs.@plaid, @dfinney, @plaid, and some clown.}
