I am out of the rain and in cozy red flannel PJs

I walked for a few hours in the rain last night. Nothing like overgrown, broken mossy sidewalks in the rain.

I went in a beeline for this house because I have a theory that the red lights were just for Halloween and want to see if it has other lighting patterns. I'd been meaning to go a few times. Last night I finally did it and... the lights where off. I am going to have to check it a few times. It's hard because it's pretty far. If I want to see anything new on my journey, I have to vary my route in ways that adds a lot more time. I mean, it's only about a 6 mile loop and some of my longer photowalks are 7-8, so I just need to get into more of a groove of longer photowalks again. That shouldn't be a big deal. I just got into the habit of 3-5 mile ones after December when I went sedentary for a bit due to first icy sidewalks and then dealing with a foot injury. But, it's past time to get back into longer walks.

I am just overly wary of wearing myself out.

* Sunflower Auction for Ukraine is now open for bidding.

* I am still following some Web3 stuff... honestly I've been following some of these trends since before the Bitcoin and some day I am going to break down and post into the void on some things I think the big name covering this are missing, like how how billions of people are cutting their teeth and learning to juggle multiple forms of currencies by playing games. Some of the worst people having been WoW diehard is no coincidence (and no reflection on WoW). But also this is why some of this trading coins for other coins and having digital assets with no real values feels not-insane to a lot of people.

Anyway, what I've mostly been following this week is billion of value being destroyed by ( me being juvenile about some terminology )

* I just checked to see how long it's been since I actually posted a complete story and I want to scream. Holy hell I need to finish my projects.

Most of my writing this year was practice pieces from the writing books I read which isn't nothing, but damn I need to get one of these projects out the door. I feel so freaking lame realizing how long I've been working on them.
