Good morning from the front of Morning Fire 178. I'm running late. The fire wouldn't start this morning. Operator error for the most part. It's Wednesday,. Not my hump day. That's tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you have a great day today. Off to the mail trail. 📬 4.8.26 #gm #coffeechain

"Why did Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor of bitcoin, list April 5 as his birthday? "On April 5, 1933, FDR signed Executive Order 6102 which made it illegal for Americans to own gold. "Satoshi's message was clear: Bitcoin can't be confiscated the way gold was." ~ Joel Bomgar #bitcoin #satoshi

I would have ignored or laughed at this 5 years ago. Not anymore. I think it has the potential to. #bitcoin #money #peace

Good morning Nostr🔥 I just threw some wood on this fire. Now I'm back in the recliner. Everyone still asleep. Light outside. Suns been up for close to an hour. Shades still pulled. House dark except for fire light, a, burning light bulb, and what sneaks in around the curtains. I'm going to take a half hour and read some wisdom from a book in the quiet. Unwind from a week on the mail trail. I might be back here. If not, I hope you have a happy Easter. Be well. 🙏 Morning Fire 175 4.5.26 #gm #coffeechain

April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain - T.S. Eliot GM🔥 For as long as I can remember this time of year has always been hard for me emotionally. I used to think it was a personal defect. Something gone wrong in my development. Yet this poem indicates something else. A season with a soul of its own. A world soul affecting my individual soul. To say it another way, good to know I'm not the only one that thinks April is cruel. Thankful for literature. It can be a lifeline. Morning Fire 174 4.4.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to. It is content with the low places that people disdain. Thus it is like the Tao. In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. ~ Tao Te Ching (That's the Bean Brook flowing for 15 seconds on the Mail Trail today) #water #wisdom #soul

Sorting mail I found out. The address started out ,"To the family of ." He was my neighbor. After he had his stroke and fell. I'd visit with him. He'd pay my son and I for work he needed done. Last fall was the last time we saw him. He said come over and visit anytime. It doesn't have to be for work. Just the other day I say out loud I need to get over and see him. He's just across the road. Gone now. Two weeks ago already. That's what the obituary said after I saw the letter and googled it. How could I have not known.? He was just across the road. Love thy neighbor as thyself they say. Sometimes I wonder about the isolation of individualism. Rest in peace neighbor. Off to the mail trail. Morning Fire 173 4.3.26 #gm #soul #coffeechain

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
