Bear markets are for building

Red carnations blooming well into fall and looking vibrant #flowerstr #carnation

JRR Tolkien was 1 of 1. His line in The Silmarillion, Chapter 7, referring to Melkor (essentially the devil) “But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed while others reap and sow in his stead.” With a new batch of politicians (the liars) elected, such a prescient, applicable quote. Our modern day pied pipers, never bearing the consequences of their actions but leading sheep to slaughter and the destruction to the future generations.

Somewhere out there, Tom Luongo is cooking up an explanation for the Democrats dominating the elections being part of Trump’s master plan

On a positive note, the future is bright, almost as bright as these cempasúchiles 🪇 It was a successful Dia de Los Muertos holiday this year and the marigolds sold out. Now the farm goes to sleep for a bit, but there’s plenty of spring prep and cleaning to do. Oh and thank God for #bitcoin

I didn’t vote in any race. But it seems the democrats are going belt to ass on the republicans. Let this be a reminder to us that the republicans are spineless and pathetic. All they had to do was to not be as bad as democrats and they failed, which is saying a lot. When you can’t soundly defeat the party of socialists, sexual deviants, corrupt corporate shills, and mentally unstable young women, who openly promoted Covid lockdowns, stood blindly as trillions were printed and middle class savings and small businesses were eviscerated, unquestionably accepted experimental jabs and would have supported jailing the unvaccinated, turned a blind eye to hormonal therapy and gender reassignment for juveniles, and in general despise the founding principles of this country that made it the place where millions around the world immigrate to for a better life, then you’re no better than they are. Democracy in most places is just choosing between two shitty options. That is all.

Left out some candy for the kids while we were away at a friends house for Halloween. Came back and all our candy was gone and our sign stolen. I suspect some teenage dirtbags with shitty parents. Hopefully the young kiddos had the chance to get some candy earlier. Don’t steal from other people Nostr

Some ‘Copperfield’ Violas in bloom this week #flowerstr #bloomscroll

Anyone else think it’s a bit of suspicious coincidence that a week after France’s bond market starts to implode and yields spike, riots seem to break out? Is someone pushing a narrative, instigating violence, and using useful idiots in the streets for a debt jubilee or something? Wouldn’t bet against it

The marigolds for Dia de Los Muertos are a tad early but looking great and filling the field with color #flowerstr

I’m realizing life is just a slow process of getting to the point where I can just dedicate time to the garden and not worry about other commitments or responsibilities

Old school Kanye (College Dropout and Graduation almbums) was possibly some of the best hip hop ever to be created

The wife and I closed on our first house today. I drove away from the property tonight thinking “damn, I own this” (yes, I know technically I pay property taxes forever so it’s not true ownership). But it’s a feeling I’ve never had before and honestly pretty surreal. It gives a sense of pride and desire to improve the property for our future family. It will become a place where memories are made. Shout out to Satoshi Nakamoto for creating the hardest money in human history, without which I wouldn’t be embarking on this journey.
