The snow, subzero temps, and frozen lid on the Big Green Egg are too much to overcome. Need to find different way to cook tenderloin steaks. No grilling this Christmas Eve. πŸ₯Ά

Negative temperatures with even more negative windchills make the crackle of wood in the fireplace even better as night falls. πŸ”₯❄️

Source of Attention

β€œTake the thought itself as an object.
Take the feeling of being the thinker also as an object.
What is that feeling?

It too must be an appearance in consciousness.
It feels like something, to be the source of attention.

Is there really a source of attention in the middle of experience?
Or is there just experience?”

We got together with friends and had a great time escaping Cuckoo’s Clock at Missing Pieces. We escaped with 13m 36s left on the clock having used 5 clues. Room 45!

I’m glad I grabbed a screen shot of the “Promotion of alternative social platforms policy” because now that same URL returns a 404 and appears to be deleted from the search index.

I feel like Twitter is disrespecting micro.blog by not including it in the banned list of platforms you can link to. Show some respect! Post is on there and it’s been around for 5 minutes.
