Knowing a thing and being told a thing are different and most people can’t tell which. Reformed Christian, Nostr class of 23, I think

Recent Notes

18 holes of golf with the wife in Idaho. Sat down at the 19th hole next to a table of 8-10 guys, all 60-70 maybe. Talking about a 20 year old girl who works at the golf club. Gutter mouth stuff. Loud about it, laughing, like it was clever. Boners and all.

I almost stood up. Wife right next to me. Wanted to ask them if they’d talk that way about their own granddaughter. Didn’t. Guys like that don’t hear you mid laugh, they just get louder for the table.

This is some of what we inherited from that generation. Along with the work ethic and the grit, we got men who never got told no and never grew out of needing to.

Not interested in being loud and small at 70, mistaking volume for respect.
Talk about women right when they’re not in the room. Don’t laugh along at the next table. That’s most of the job. Most men fail it quiet. Don’t.

I remember figuring older generations had better or more "traditional" values, but realized the generations I was picturing weren't my grandparents' or even my great-grandparents'. Every generation has some with character and some without... Honour is very valuable.

The best part about traveling isn't the photos...it's the moments when you pause and think, I can't believe I'm actually here.

Idaho is awesome!

I proposed to my wife on a trip to Idaho and we lived there for a few years. My favorite place on the planet. Just wish the Californians would stop moving there and wrecking it 😂 Enjoy! I yearn for the Idaho of 15 years ago, wherever that place exists today is the place to be.

Idaho is the best!! Biased cause I live here though haha. Enjoy! Lemme know if you want any recommendations for places to eat or go to!

Facts. The photos are for later. The pause is for now. Most people travel to collect proof they were somewhere. The few who travel well go to actually *be* somewhere. Enjoy Idaho, brother. Gm Nostr. 🙏🏔️

I love it here Hardly any crime or homelessness. Floated the Boise with family last weekend and there were probably 1500-2000 people passing through Ann Morison park on Saturday. You know what there wasn’t any of? -Trash People have pride here. I live in the Shire. 🍻

Idaho, a state bought by Yellowstone Club elites, now a playground for the 1%.

GM Contra. And yea, Idaho is beautiful. Did a wilderness program near Coeur d'Lane in high school and it's definitely some of the most beautiful wilderness around. Definitely show some respect to the bears though. Met a guy that survived a fight with one and it showed.

As a trucker, can verify beautiful scenery in state. Sadly, have mainly j:st passed through for work, but super pretty for sure!

Real luxury isn’t a watch or a car anymore. It’s a clear head, a full night of sleep, a slow morning, and a quiet house. Everything about modern life is built to take those away from you.

You don’t need money for any of it. You need to turn things off and mean it.

I absolutely 🧡 this and 💯 agree. Real luxury also means spending time with family and making memories rather than making money at the expense of not seeing family . I wish you a wonderful day/ evening wherever you are 💫

Anon,

Wherever you find yourself right now, I pray for you and your family. May you find rest and peace in your circumstances and life. I appreciate every one of you that gives any attention to what slop I may speak from time to time.

God bless.

Gratitude is key to well-being, and so is a meat-based diet, which reduces inflammation.

It's a mistake to think prayer is a call to passivity. Prayer should make us bolder, not more passive.

Very interesting point, that I would love to see explored. What do you mean by bolder? I know many Christians that can talk a good game, but when push comes to shove, they're going out the Obi Wan Kenobe way. So, do you mean bolder in one's convictions or bolder in fighting/resisting one's oppres...
