The reality is this ... those people who think the decline of American-led rules-based order is going to usher in an era of peace, because you've convinced yourself that the military industrial complex is the chief antagonist in what would otherwise be a more peaceful world ... well, you may very well be about to feast on prodigious meal of rude awakenings.

How many countries need to be involved in war before it's called world war 3

Tomorrow is the 4th annual Ross seafood boil. We started out as a 2020 COVID-19 gathering, as everything was closed, it was a way for my circle of friends to get together and enjoy life. This event has turned into a large annual event with several families.

I spent all afternoon noon preparing. From patio cleaning, to splitting wood, to yard work, to cleaning out the garage, I am beyond tired. But everything is ready. All seafood and other ingredients have been bought. Maybe I'll add my recipe to nostr.cooking later... 👀

Snow crab legs

Littleneck clams

Muscles

Shrimp

Kielbasa

Potatoes

Corn

Onions

Leeks

Wine

We'll have lots of other seafood sides too. l'll be steaming cherrystone clams on the grill and my mother is making clam chowder. A friend is making bacon wrapped scallops.

Here's a photo from last year. It was raining, but that didn't stop us from having the event in my garage!

How was your day Nostr? 🫂

Hanging out with my boys tomorrow. Rain all day. Science center or nature museum it is. 😂

Lucky for me they like both. Unlucky for me they never want to leave once there.

Running around in the mountains with my dog is cherished time. It won’t be forever 🙏

This is an old mine out in the north cascades. It goes deeeeep and it’s scary in there. I went about 100 yards and bitched out. Really cool hike out in the temperate rainforest. #grownostr #pnw

Wifey is out of town so I’m treating myself to a decadent little dinner 🤤

Is that self defense?
