Nature I can’t imagine the amount of patience and dedication it would require to be a mama bear of four cubs. I really can’t. History and People I think it’d be kind of awesome if we brought back #todayinhistory. I was reading up on Leprosy the other day, cause I’m weird like that, when I discovered Alice Ball was born on July 24th, recent enough to be relevant, but I was a few days too late to post. I think if anyone deserves a bit of recognition, she should be up there. Not only did she come up with one of the most potent treatments for Leprosy, she was at the very beginning of what seemed to be a very promising career before she tragically suffered an early death. It’s sad, cause you can only begin to wonder what other amazing things she might have been able to accomplish. Job Hunting Dropped off the job application to the garden center the other day. Not the awesome one, but the one that was actively hiring. The conversation with the hiring manager was going really well, I had my A game and everything, until heavy lifting came up. They shut me out and the conversation was over and done with in less than ten seconds after. No lie. Honestly, I'm pretty certain I dodged a bullet there, cause not only would I not want someone with such a non-charitable attitude as my boss, on the drive home as I was going through things in my head about the place, I realized there's some pretty sketchy things there. So it's all for the best. I'm too good to work for goons. Music One of my buds and their best bud is really getting into Americana music. They've discovered "good country" music, stuff that's not my jam, but definitely isn't of the variety you hear on mainstream commercial radio. I said "if you ever want suggestions, hit me up, I have countless ones." I'm not gonna push anything on them though. I remember when I was in my early twenties, the year I discovered Against Me!, Mississippi John Hurt, Old Crow Medicine Show, and tons of others. It forever changed my taste in music, and oddly enough, I think worldview a bit. Thing is though, it was all through exploration and "OH WOW!" moments of discovery. I think if someone was standing over my shoulder just feeding me albums, the outcome would have been much different. I don't want to rob those two of the opportunity of those "OH WOW" moments. I think this is gonna be one of those weeks that don't really feel like they'll ever end. Stay strong, Hubski. Stay beautiful and safe too.
