@averytomascowx Any confirmation on actual wind gusts MPH last night in Georgetown?

Been at it a month. We did the full lifeguard test 3x today to prep (plus a couple hundred extra meters for funsies). Proud of him!

My son wants his first summer job as a lifeguard and I’m teaching him how to swim laps this evening at the city rec. It’s going by so fast fellas, and I’m giving him all I can.

@walker_farm Solid advice, thank you! Sheep seem like the right size for our 5 acres. Will keep researching and thinking about goals.

@radigancarter @LukeGromen Humbling. I wonder if we could import the intelligence and experience. Is it still enticing enough to be an American?

Currently I’m thinking about all that time I saved changing the tire without taking the wheel off the tractor.*

*it took much, much longer this way.

@skooookum tale as old as time. feels like the plot line of a Homerian Greek tragedy.

@OldHollowTree Man we love our Harvey. He’s an attention and snuggle hound. And I suspect he would mess up some coyotes given the chance. He trains daily on our Bernese and by out-sprinting the Amazon truck delivering down our neighbors 800’ driveway each day.

@Inv3ntive15 Can the goat carcasses be fed to chickens or would that cause other problems?

Pour a drink. No ice. Bottom shelf. Open your email. Delete 50. Respond "sounds good to me" while you are four emails behind in the thread. Look at your messages. Send a thumbs up emoji. Another one. Another one. Open twitter. Like every tweet you see.

I still think about this post from @LibertyBlitz somewhat frequently. It changed me as a dad and how I’m preparing my kids for their futures.

A message on another billboard directed at the “daddies” was more blunt: “The alternative to escorts. Desperate women will do anything.”

Yet another example of intergenerational abuse. Turning broke college kids into prostitutes.

Would love @EpsilonTheory’s take on the nudges and perception manipulations we now daily face as possible 5th Generation Warfare. And how building your “full hearts” tribe + make/teach/protect are our best possible responses. Your thoughts Ben? https://t.co/RXfB5M60hJ

@aspiringpeasant Talked to a Farm Bureau insurance agent yesterday who told me it’s due to the reinsurance market. Their premiums have skyrocketed.

@lukeburgis As a case manager for about 40 formerly homeless folks still at risk of homelessness, my time with them reminds me of what’s actually important in life: community, basic needs, vocation, optimism, gratitude, agential power in any circumstance.

Recently had the opportunity to see several high school friends I graduated with 23 years ago and the secret to a successful life was clear: fidelity.
