Thoughts on turning 60!

[🇺🇸 🦅Simple Man 🦅🇺🇸 @Soaringeagle45]

This is funny! 🤣

I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne.

Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.

I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

When I was a child I thought "nap time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is... " I don't have to write that down, I'll remember it".

If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.

At my age "Getting Lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came In there for.

Fun fact:
Your body contains more bacterial cells than human cells.
You’re basically a walking ecosystem. 🧬😮

[Divinely Designed @DivinelyDesined]

A single strand of DNA stretched out is ~6.5ft long.

If you stretched out all the DNA in your body end-to-end, it could stretch across the entire solar system, from the Sun to Pluto - seventeen times.

It could wrap around the Earth like a rubber band ball over 2 million times.

The entire world's total digital data could be stored in just 178lbs of DNA.

Imagine, one single DNA server for the entire world, instead of acres of server farms.

If one strand of your DNA was written into books, it would fill about 300 textbooks, at about 500-600 pages per book.

That's 150,000-180,000 pages.

And yet it's packed & organized so efficiently that all of this fits into a microscopic cell nucleus.

In fact, this precise system of organization is necessary for DNA to function.

Without this specialized organizational structure, all your DNA would be a useless mess.

That means DNA can't exist without this organizational structure.

But that structure can't exist without the information found in DNA.

DNA might be the most obvious and undeniable signature of the Divine Design in Life.

Here is an idea - Gold was discovered at Cherry Creek. Then came the gamblers, ranchers, railroad men, outlaws, and families willing to risk everything to build a future in Colorado.

Forged in the West brings the birth of Denver and the frontier to life through the people who fought, sacrificed, and endured to shape the American West.

You can forget everything you think you know about government needing to be permanent, territorial, and imposed from above.

Picture yourself standing next to a dusty wagon in Independence, Missouri in 1843. You're about to embark on a 2,000-mile journey to Oregon Territory with 120 strangers. No sheriffs. No courts. No government infrastructure for the next six months.

What do you do? You write a constitution.

These wagon train constitutions weren't theoretical exercises. Real people facing real problems created real governance systems from scratch. The Applegate Company of 1843 elected a captain, established voting procedures, and set penalties for rule violations. All voluntary. All temporary. All functional. Think about what's happening here. It's pure contractual governance in action. Nobody forced these travelers to join specific wagon trains. They shopped around, compared rules, and chose the arrangement that best suited their needs and risk tolerance.

Some trains ran tight ships with strict schedules and harsh penalties for slacking. Others operated more loosely, trading efficiency for flexibility. The Bidwell-Bartleson Party of 1841 famously split apart when members disagreed about routes and rules. People voted with their feet, literally.

Free market economists call this "polycentric law" but the concept is simple: competing legal systems serving different customer preferences. Wagon trains prove you don't need a monopoly government to maintain order. You need voluntary association and the right to exit. The genius lay in the details. Most constitutions included sunset clauses, automatically dissolving the government when trains reached their destinations. Every territorial and state government that emerged later became permanent, growing, and impossible to escape without moving.

Captain election processes varied wildly between trains. Some held democratic votes every few weeks. Others appointed leaders for the entire journey. The market sorted out which approaches worked best for different groups and circumstances. Enforcement happened through social pressure and economic incentives rather than violence. Break the rules repeatedly and find yourself expelled from the train's protection. Good luck surviving alone with hostile weather, difficult terrain, and occasional Native American raids.

Critics love pointing out that some trains descended into chaos or split apart. True enough. But this misses the point entirely. Failed experiments in voluntary governance don't justify permanent coercive alternatives any more than restaurant failures justify government-run cafeterias. The Oregon Trail offered laboratory conditions for testing governance theories. People could exit bad arrangements, join better ones, or start their own. Competition disciplined bad leaders and rewarded good ones. Success meant survival and prosperity. Failure meant death or disaster.

Modern westerners live under the opposite system: permanent, territorial monopolies with no real exit options. You can't shop for better police services or competing court systems. You can't dissolve your city government when it stops serving your needs.

Wagon train constitutions remind us that governance is just another service industry. Remove the monopoly protection and watch innovation flourish.

Gold strikes. Wagon trails. Frontier survival. And at Glorieta Pass, Colorado volunteers helped turn back the Confederates in one of the Civil War’s most important forgotten battles.
