Our first Opening Day (yesterday) of dove season with our boys was a success. We found a horny toad too.

At times, discovering Bitcoin has led me into a desert of conviction—moving forward with certainty, yet alone. The path feels right, but without a tribe, the journey is quiet, even lonely. It puts off “Road Less Traveled / Not Taken” vibes. That’s not inherently a bad thing - just sometimes unfamiliar. Nonetheless, onward I go.

Throwing it back to the 2000s-2010s when a $100 bill turned us underage Texans into kings for a weekend in a border town (Acuna, Mexico)! 🍻 Those carefree trips, filled with laughter and adventure, feel like a different world now. I’m sure things weren’t as safe as I remember (and there’s much that I don’t), but it’s a shame that border violence and maybe a lack of youthful daring keep today’s college kids from these epic road trip weekends.

How it started, left (2012, when I got married). How it’s going, right (once I got orange pilled c. FTX collapse).

Is there a @SoapMiner or @Ben Justman🍷 of deodorant out there? I feel like this is a market sector that would have some demand from Bitcoiners. My wife instructs me to buy something clean/quality, but the store is full of highly marketed crap.
