"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon—if I can. I seek opportunity—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, 'This I have done.' All this is what it means to be an American."

GM and Pura Vida, Nostr A beautiful Sunday - a chilly morning with my coffee. But a smooth day ahead. A turnover today between BNB guests. Grocery haul and meal prep on the agenda. I finally got the pellet smoker cleaned up the season - now that it's not quite as cold out. That gets me stoked. Plan on getting out to start the old #FordBronco II. Like all of us she needs to move and see some sunshine once in a while. Then some rest and planning for the week ahead. Cheers 🌞 Note to self:
