Achieving zen thru grumpiness
Science reveals the secret to extreme wealth: SHEER DUMB LUCK.
“The results are something of an eye-opener. Their simulations accurately reproduce the wealth distribution in the real world. But the wealthiest individuals are not the most talented (although they must have a certain level of talent). They are the luckiest. And this has significant implications for the way societies can optimize the returns they get for investments in everything from business to science.”

Day 4: A song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget
Rush - “invisible airways “
Good song, but reminds me of the ex - he loved the band.
Day 3: A song that reminds me of summertime:
Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight
This looks like fun- but I don’t do YouTube links. 😉
Think I'll do the 30 day song challenge. Let's see where this leads. 😁

AAAAH
So we always go to the doggy park around sunset - there are loads of huge trees there and the sun is always twinkling through them with lovely Golden Hour light so I figured tonight I'd try for some sunbursts - you need a high F-Stop but compensated with slow shutter speed and/or high ISO, and careful positioning, and it can be tricky.
So I'm fracking stoked that I got this DOUBLE SUNBURST. AAAAH
