Did any of you ever read The Giver? It was a new book when we read it in elementary school and it has some good messages that kids these days need to hear. I just learned that it was mostly banned. The movie with Jeff Bridges is pretty solid too.

There is going to be a big push for Central Bank Digital Currencies(CBDC’s) across the world in the near future. When the push comes, resist it as hard as you can, because it's basically the end of humanity as a free species if it's widely adopted. Opt for cash or cryptocurrencies. Imagine your bank offering to exchange your money to CBDC’s along with some perks…shoot that down immediately. Not just, “No”, but, “Hell no!”. Vote out any politician who suggests otherwise.

Yay! Starlink should be here within 2 weeks!
Just spent a few hours yesterday dealing with Xfinity. Can’t wait to cut them out.🤞

I watched John Oliver tonight, for a change, and he discussed the housing crisis. The Left sees material inequality as the great evil and is usually more interested in fighting that than tyranny. Tonight, however, Oliver was more in line with the Father in his thinking than some(myself included) Christians. God really does desire and mean that, "There need be no poor people among you" and "In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree". The American Dream.

A close family friend that we used to sail with. His kids posted this today and it was too good not to share!

@MaryMamuzich How are you and are you being affected by the floods?

@mary bought me a box of 5th Avenue bars as a surprise because she knows I love them and that they are nowhere to be found in Colorado these days. She even got them shipped to an Amazon locker that was supposedly inside and out of the heat. Sadly, locker was not inside and we got a bunch of non-refundable chocolate puddles. To our shock and delight, they reconstituted almost perfectly in the refrigerator! #firstworldproblems

I'm still messing around with paper data storage because it is so practical and fascinating. If you ever want a copy of Eisenhower's D-Day speech, look no further. Just laser print it and store.

You will need this to decode it after you scan it.
