Chick pic of the day.
2 weeks old today.
I made a temporary pen and lined a small 6x8 dog pen with chicken wire so they can play and learn how to be a chicken. Great weather for them.

Ok dog #experts. Question for you all.
I’ve moved chicks outside in the nice weather.
A couple of days prior, I brought our golden retriever inside to meet the chicks.
Does her body language say “I want to eat you”? Or “I want to play”?
Gardening question.
See how my tomato plant leaves are starting to curl?
Is this from too much light? I’ve left my grow lights on overnight a couple of times lately.

I picked up some layers over the weekend.
It’s been like 30 years since I’ve raised chickens.
I got a rooster to be a guardian for the girls.
I hope I can keep them alive in the woods of Missouri. I also hope I can train the golden retriever to help be a watchdog for them.

Over the weekend I received a “blackmail”scam email demanding bitcoin from me.
The email accurately contained my full name, phone number and home address. (Easy info to buy since so many companies, my kids school district and the VA have been compromised. )
Then he made false claims stating I visit naughty sites and he has control over my camera and he has footage of me etc.
funny considering we done run any Windows computers.
He provided an address and demanded I send him $2,000 usd in bitcoin.
I sure wish I was an experienced hacking sleuther and could track down this con artist.
I do wonder how many people he scares into sending BTC? I’ll have to browse the blockchain for his address.
The email claims to come from “Johnny Stanfield”.
What a dirtbag.
I’m picturing a car insurance company structured as a coop. Minimal employees.
Employee owned and operated. Salaries are visible. Funds are on a #blockchain and auditable. Rates are not governed by states.
Is this even possible from a technology perspective?
Is this possible from a legal perspective?

How prescient was this quote?
“If the Bush Administration cannot ensure Americans that they will be safe from the flu, how will they protect our country against a possible bioterror or chemical attack? The American people deserve better.” ~ John Corzine
