November 22 of 2022 was the last day you could ever buy bitcoin below $16,000. On that day, the vast chorus on social media was predicting lower prices right around the corner. They were all wrong.

One of these days, maybe it was yesterday, maybe it’s in the months ahead after a recovery from yet another dip, we will experience the last day that anyone ever buys bitcoin below $60,000. On that day, the vast chorus on social media will be predicting lower prices right around the corner. AGAIN, they will all be wrong.

The vast chorus on social media is always the most bearish at the BOTTOM of a bear market, which is when they should be most bullish.

Good morning.

Off to the mail trail.

I hope you have a great day!

Good morning. It's 6:20. I have signs to put out yet. They tell people we're having a native plant sale. I'll put some out on the way to work.

It cooled down a bit last night. It made sleeping tolerable.

That's one of my favorite pictures from the front meadow. It's harebell. It's still blooming. I saw it mixed in with yellow flowers last evening. I had to stop and do a double take.

Each year the meadow becomes fuller. We've plugged a lot of plants in there over the years.

That's it for now. I'm off to the mail trail. I feel like there's something I need to say. And that usually hits me going down the interstate at 70 miles an hour. Then it's gone. Most of the time never to be seen again.

Hope you have a great day!

Good morning. I took this photo years ago. When I started to become drawn to natives. Or maybe when they started calling me. One never knows.

It's butterfly weed on the roadside of a mail route I subbed on. That was the nice part about being a sub. I got to see a lot of country and get to know a lot of people. I did it for over 15 years. I can open the local paper most weeks and recognize a name and face in the obituary section.

It's hot in this house. 80 degrees. Floors are sticky. Humid. My family is sound asleep with fans running. I'm glad they get to sleep and not have to run off to the rat race.

Tomorrow is our oldest son's birthday. He'll be 27. Annie I got together on his 3rd birthday, and never looked back. Eventually, with the encouragement of Annie's grandma and dad I adopted him. That meant a lot to me. They believed in me. Her grandma payed the attorney bill. Her ashes are up on our shelf. Long story.

Ok, I gotta go. That was fun to write. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning. No mail trail again today. Back to work tomorrow though. Thinking of my fellow carriers out there delivering in this heat today.

It's supposed to be 91, but feel like 100. Supposed to be a breeze though. Part of me wants to go in and give the carrier filling in for me a hand. So he can have an easier day today. It's been months since he's ran this route. That's a no, no though. There's no pay or insurance to cover that.

Looking forward to potting plants with Annie today. There seems to be no end to what she needs to plant.

I took this photo of a pale purple coneflower a few minutes ago. The ones we have for sale in 2" pots look amazing.

I'm off to get the day started. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning. It's 9 AM. Bean Brook Nursery is open 10 to 5 today. No mail trail for me today and tomorrow. The break will be nice.

Noticing more and more black eyed susans coming up in the front meadow. There already is a lot of bright yellow lance leaf coreopsis flowers. Annie has been picking false Japanese beetles off them. They devour the flower. In years past they've devoured all of our lance leaf flowers.

Hayden (16 yrs. old) and I are going to swing over, pick up my mom and grandma, and head down to Hungry Hollow. It's near Barron. A weekend event full of working vintage farm machinery and such. We've gone the past two years. Hayden likes to stop by and talk to the blacksmiths. There's just a lot of soul in the whole event.

Well, that's it for now. I hope you have a great day!

Bought Bitcoin this morning. Like I do every morning. There is no turning back.

We are moving from an analog world to a digital world.

It doesn't matter if I am for or against it. I am a registered member of the digital world writing on this phone.

The politicians and other noise makers can say what they want to say. This is where we're headed.

But the Tao Te Ching says:

"Do you want to improve the world?
I don't think it can be done.

The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it."

Are we losing the world written about in the Tao as we move to the digital?
