 I just heard a cautionary tale. 
 We’re going to the moon, aren’t we?

 Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our plane...

 For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
	
The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
— Psalm 19:1-14

 Also it's pretty hard to average down in bitcoin when Saylor's first buys were so low.  
 Lady Ashburnham pickles on mashed potatoes, molasses on buttered bread, and dulse in my pocket. Where am I from? https://image.nostr.build/bd1da9da315f6e98b29e191df58085e74b9c6d8d739094e9a03002f76f4315be.jpg  
 Going into the bifocal/progressives phase of my life, apparently.

 Honestly if you don't spend time with someone it's difficult to have a relationship or knowledge of them. Today we have Christ revealed in the written word God. I would encourage you to read His word and meditate on it. Start with the Gospel of John.

 Until a few minutes ago I thought the song Space Oddity was Space Odyssey. 
 I was just talking to two Canadians age 56 and 25 and neither one knew who Chris Hadfield was. 

I’m not sure if this is a positive or negative. 
 Just saw someone riding a Can-Am three-wheeled motorcycle, pulling a trailer. Probably should be driving a car.

 FaceBookers are the most underrated… 
 It hard to make the argument that 11000111010111001101011110010011001 beats land. 

I’d rather look out my windows and see my wealth than look at my app. 

FWIW I’m pretty hypocritical in this regard, but working in the direction that I want to go. 
 Tell me you don’t know how much property tax there is on land without telling me you don’t know how much property tax on land.

I’ve never used Lightning “in real life,” I just use it for ⚡️ zapping back and forth on nostr. 
 It’s like J. Burden boomer posting on twitter. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
