My stepmom showed me her amazing fossil collection. An assortment including fossilized eggs, shellfish, a prehistoric fish, and other stuff. Also included are fossilized jellyfish, a piece of meteorite, and a prehistoric hammer head. Pretty cool.

Ermagerd. I can’t even sit.

I had to take out a second mortgage for these bad boys at the local butcher’s near Dad’s, despite us being in the heart of cattle country. But I figured it would be a nice treat for our last evening here before we continue on our province-wide excursion. One ray of hope when I asked the young proprietor if I could pay in Bitcoin was his reply. “We aren’t set up yet, but if you show me your setup maybe I can start.” I said “Yeah, I’m sure as a business owner are you have noticed that the Canadian dollar is essentially a melting ice cube.“ He said, “Yes, even though Bitcoin price is down it’s not about how high bitcoin is, it’s about how worthless the dollar gets day by day.“ I told him how refreshing it was to meet someone that actually understood the ills of fiat currency . I showed him my wallet setup and how easy it was to do a transaction, and I would expect that the next time I come here, he may have started a journey of some sort. I wish I had had more time to talk to him. But the shop was bustling at the time.  #grownostr #bitcoin #carnivore

Just messaging my young twenty something daughter from a province away while we are on vacation.

So proud of this young lady.

Dad’s place is the best. Good morning coffee spot today.

TIL that most of the anti data centre news is being funded by a self proclaimed Maoist lobby with deep pockets. The unspoken war between China and the west for AI dominance makes 5D chess look like child’s play. Kind of makes one wonder how many other narratives have been similarly funded for years to keep Americans at each other’s throats.
