If you are often angry, trace the roots in story and then apply your anger as a force and a sharp edge to whatever you do. Don't indulge in venting. Always convert and transform your anger into something worthwhile. Let people see and feel your anger, but don't explode every time you feel it. ~ Thomas Moore #quotes #soul #psychology

New York is determined to become a failed state. Imagine you bought a home decades ago, stuck with New York through all it's graft, corruption while saving for retirement. This lowers the tax-exempt threshold to $750,000, targeting real estate, cash, and investments while increasing the top tax rate to 50%. It includes a new surcharge on realized capital gains exceeding $500,000 annually. You hear that sucking sound. That's people with functioning brains packing up and heading south. Florida real estate about to get an influx if this passes. ~ George Bodine on X

GM Nostr🔥 Off to the mail trail soon. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 171 4.1.26 #gm #coffeechain

In the fog of war they told us two weeks to stop the spread. In the fog of war they told us a couple week of bombing Iran would do it. They make too much war.

GM🔥 Back to the mail trail for 5 days. Leaving in 5 minutes. Just above freezing out there. No ice on standing water. They're calling for snow this week. Not going to sweat it. It won't be around long. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 170 3.31.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM🔥 Last Monday we had an addition to our place.: A horse. We've been calling him Willy, William, and sometimes Blake. The name they gave him at the rescue was Blake. Now he's associated with William Blake, the great 18th century English poet Blake had this to say about horses: "The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction." Last night, we learned while sharing ice cream together, our oldest son and his wife will be having a baby. Another addition to our place. The transition from parent to grandparent begins. I'm looking forward to it. With it comes more eccentricity and opining. Something I always admired in my grandparents, though not at the time of course. That's it for now. It's Sunday. A day off from the mail trail. All of the family is here in the house. I'm going to go savior it before we're off to do this or that. I hope you have a great Sunday.🙏 Morning Fire 168 3.29.26 #gm #coffeechain

Our home will look like this in a couple months. Looking forward to it. #countryliving #soul

6AM. GM🔥 It's Saturday. I wrote Friday, then deleted it. It's my last day, then two days off. Looking forward to spending time with family at home. The fire in the photo is about burned down. I'm going to rake the coals into a pile, shut the doors, and close the damper off. Let it heat the brick, rock, and mortar that contains it. It's 18 out there. Then it's out to start the mail jeep. Let it warm up 5 minutes, then off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great weekend! Morning Fire 167 3.28.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM Nostr🔥 It's 23 at 6AM. I'm in Springbrook Township in Northwest Wisconsin. I'm in front of Morning Fire 166. I stacked Sats at 66K this morning. I wanted to stack more than I did, but was afraid I'd overdraw our bank account. I put a check in the night deposit last night. I didn't know what would go through first: the withdrawal from Strike or the deposit. Despite the cool temps things are waking around here. Annie was out checking the native seedlings behind the house yesterday. They're emerging in the plug trays. Saw a flock of robins and redwing blackbirds on the baseball diamond in Earl. That's it for now. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! 3.27.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning 🔥 Stacked Sats at 69K this morning. When it drops into the 60's I'm ready to search the couch cushions. Off to the mail trail. 📬 Morning Fire 165 3.26.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning 🔥 The present exists to repair the past and prepare the future. ~ Persian quote Off to the mail trail soon. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 164 3.25.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

GM. Fire 163 burning bright and hot this morning. . Stacked at 71K this AM. May Bitcoin stay decentralized and secure. 🙏 Back to the mail trail. Hope you have a great day! 3.24.26 #gm #coffeechain

7:23 AM. GM Nostr🔥 Another day off from the mail trail. I stacked at 70K this morning. When I went to bed it was at 68K. I thunbed through Facebook for maybe a minute this morning. An influencer posted there is a 5 day ceasefire in Iran. He said the markets reacted immediately after the announcement. Oil dropped, etc. Maybe that's why Bitcoin is up. That doesn't matter so much to me. Conviction that it is the best currency in the world does. So I keep stacking despite the noise. I hope you have a great day.

Every time I come across this I say: Yes. It feels easy. That, I've learned at my fatherly 51, is a good indicator. #soul #quotes #homeschool

Good morning 🔥 A day off from the mail trail. Spent the last hour scrolling through Facebook and X. Something I usually don't do first thing in the morning. It never sets a good tone for the day. All I can say is that I am very thankful for this fire in front of me. A familiar 20 year ritual. And why I keep hearing influencers tell me to go outside and touch grass. Information without context is disorienting as hell. Off to reorient and focus on what matters. I hope you have a great day. #gm #coffeechain Morning Fire 161 3.22.26
