Listening to music relaxingly—in a flow state—while witnessing unrelated thoughts—day dreaming in a flow state—pensively.

Currently feeling good. I woke up this morning to find that someone I follow on Instagram, who has a million followers, sent me a private message.
I guess that makes me one in a million today.

Taking a trip to Phoenix at the end of the month and with the airline hit and miss during covid I'm going finally cave and get a cell phone. Trying to figure out what prepaid phone and the talk/text/data options I'll need.
Any suggestions? Understand that I'll only use the phone when traveling, approx once every 4 months.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Retro is cool, right?
Get one of those massive brick phones from the 80s.
On a personal level, don't get anything from Apple.

I can top that.
In conversation with somebody who is the son of somebody knighted by the queen of England. And have been in conversation with them for a few years now. They've called me their friend. Welcomed into the royal circle.
Aristocracy FTW.
Democracy > Aristocracy. But I'm not going to pretend to not enjoy the special treatment.

Hah! Royalty. Ronald Reagan went and knelt before the queen of England for a knighthood. Not that it would ever happen, but I would turn down a knighthood based simply on the fact that I would be required to kneel.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I can't top that but after my reply, this person sent me a friend request on Instagram from their personal page. They are only following 53 people and I'm one of them. It feels like a wild 12 point buck walked up to me and gave me a high five.
Right now I'm in bed on a frosty Saturday morning. It feels like -4 F outside (-20 C). The house is quiet and all is good in my world.
