When a company says their staff have a combined 100 years of experience. That really doesn't mean hot to me. My kids have a combined 18 years of experience, it doesn't mean that I trust them to vote or drive a car.

If you've been waiting, don't wait anymore. Unless you're sitting at a red light, then wait and put down your phone.🚦 FYI, Not my project but, 6 days left and almost 80% funded. This is only covering art and startup costs for a high quality children's book. www.kickstarter.com/projects/-mk...

I can't say enough good things about, A Girl Called Gale by Marcus Kahle McCann. It hits so many points people feel in their bones about finding their place in this world and helping others. See my pinned post for the link. It deserves more attention, repost and share this.

Harvested raisins and figs today. Not bad for 2 grape vines and 1 fig tree all only 3-4 years old.

I think sometimes I don't want to admit when I use personal experiences as inspiration. Some others are very open about it. I like how Marcus Kahle McCann creates beautiful stories from his. Do you have an author that you admire in that way?

Just finished the book For a Handful of Feathers, by Guy de la Valdene. He has kind of a unique style, that makes me feel like I'm sitting around a fire pit in his backyard drinking beer with him while he tells me everything he knows about Bob White quail and habitat restoration.

Here is a beautiful children's book that is really something I think should take off. If you missed out on his first book, don't miss out on this one. Kahle McCann's first book (The boy who was fire) is still one of my kids favorites. Still in pre-launch. www.kickstarter.com/projects/-mk...

So random Friday morning thought: If we live in a simulation, and we create a simulation so perfect, it exactly models our reality. How would we know that the simulation we "created" is not actually a view or bridge into the reality that created the simulation we live in?

Maybe I'm weird. But if I'm reading the news on Google news and I click on an article that has any type of paywall, or sign up to read the article, I immediately leave. Like, I don't care if there is advertising but don't make me do something extra to read your article.

Do you prefer more complex symbolism, or more direct focus in a story? #WritingCommunity

You will never convince me that Creep by Radiohead wasn't written by someone with a little bit of imposter syndrome. I know the official story, but it really takes a new meaning through that lens.

This is my occasional request that if you have left X/twitter, please don't deactivate or delete your account. We have no way to report and take down imposter accounts using your name and image if you do not have a profile there.

Found this little western banded gecko under a brick. I couldn't leave it in place because it would have been dangerous, so I made a new little home for it 20 feet away. It wouldn't leave my hand until its new rock house was in the right place.

Sourdough Saturday turned into sourdough Sunday. I wanted to see the difference between convection vs Dutch Oven. The top loaf cooked 10 minutes faster in the convection, vs the Dutch oven on the bottom loaf.

The plot twist I need. Wool series by Hugh Howey and the show Paradise and the show the 100 all exist in the same earth at different time periods. The earth is a big place...

Got to watch the lunar eclipse tonight. Pictures really don't do it justice.

Nothing makes me feel quite the same as editing a book I last touched two years ago...

My wife got clam chowder at the store the other day, so I made homemade bread bowls last sourdough saturday to go with it. Finally had a night at home to eat it. So good.

It was sourdough Saturday. I liked how this one turned out.

Here is the first one to hatch. This egg came from trader Joe's refrigerated section. Egg number 11

We are waiting on pins and needles for our eggs. Egg number 3 has stopped making progress, so at 10 am we are going to try offering a little help. on the good news Egg 11 has started and is really vigorously breaking through the shell. I expect many more to start today.

Today is hatching day for the Trader Joe's eggs. I have heard some chirping in the incubator and some eggs have moved as the chicks position themselves.

My one pro sports event a year at Rugby league Las Vegas. New Zealand Vs Canberra

19 Trader Joe's eggs are still very active right before I put them on lockdown. I put a camera into the incubator with the eggs. So we can monitor the progress, without disturbing them and maybe get a cool video to share.

Partial request!

Day 16 of my trader Joe's Fertile eggs. 19 of 24 will go into lockdown tomorrow had movement today. You can see it's legs moving in there.

When I get up, I let my dog out. Normally she comes straight to the door when she's ready to come inside. This morning she sat on the edge of the back porch and just stared at the crescent moon as it rose over the mountains. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in her head.

I wanted to post a fertilized egg update. None of the 12 eggs I incubated ended up being fertilized. There was no development after 5 days so I cracked them open. None had blastodisc only blastoderm. My trader Joe's eggs are developing well and should hatch next week.

It amazes me when a post goes viral while most comments were kind, people I don't know came out calling me stupid, retarded, and literally telling me to commit suicide. All over a post about incubating eggs that I doubt will hatch, but there's a small small possibility. On 🧵

Alright y'all I might be crazy. So Costco was selling whatever eggs they could get. Blue, green, brown, light brown, and white. I'm cracking open some for breakfast this morning. And I noticed two of the green ones have that little bullseye white spot on them. Might be fertile.

Here is day 8 of egg #14 incubation of the Trader Joe's fertile eggs. My wife and I think it's probably a rooster. 🐣#Chickens

As an author, why is it important to have a profile on every social media site even if it is not active. If someone impersonates you on there there is no way to report it without a legitimate account to go back to.

I candled all the eggs on day 6 of trader Joe's eggs. 19 out of 24 eggs are definitely growing. I have a couple maybes but they don't look promising. Here is one that had some very clear veins. A few of them I could see the fetus moving but could get a clear video.

My Eggs-periment seems to be working. Today is day 4 in the incubator which is really the earliest you can candle an egg and see anything. I only checked a couple eggs but I am seeing signs that my trader Joe's Fertile eggs are developing 🎆 I circled few veins in this egg.

24 Trader Joe's fertile eggs in the incubator. These are technically just a type of grocery store eggs where roosters are kept with the hands. I don't know anything about them. Other than they came from Arizona... 🤷

Proposal: Ted Lasso season 5 reality show with Kansas City Chiefs.

Here's our experiment. We found these at a store nearby. We're going to incubate them and see how many we get.

I have some short stories that haven't found a home. I'm considering making a space on my website for these. What are some pros and cons for this?🧐🤔 #WritingCommunity #writingtips
