JOHN BOGLE, THE Vanguard founder who passed away in 2019, once told a story about money that highlights something we don't think about enough:
At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, "Yes, but I have something he will never have ... enough."
Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word-stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn't have been more accurate.
For a critical element of our society, including many of the wealthiest and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails.

Yes, no, maybe, perhaps, not really # all good reactions and all bad reactions so here’s a chart
This is a chart showing the gray matter, connective white matter, surface thickness, and unbrainy ventricular volume, graphed by age. Yes the brainy lines decrease and the ventricle line increases, admitted to be the oversimplification commonly described.
Chart text: BRAIN CHANGE
 Researchers analysed more than 120,000 brain scans to assemble the most
 comprehensive growth chart of the brain so far. White- and grey-matter volume
 and mean cortical thickness (the width of the grey matter) increase rapidly early
 in development, whereas ventricular volume (the amount of cerebrospinal fluid
 in the brain) increases rapidly later in life.

 Musk has a long history of failed predictions, including multiple overly-optimistic
 promises about sending humans back to the Moon or setting up a colony on
 Mars. He has been predicting humans would reach Mars in the next ten years as
 early as 2011, repeating similar claims at least 19 times in interviews and on
 social media over the years, a New York Times review found. In 2017, he
 announced plans for SpaceX to begin flying private citizens around the moon by
 2018—a trip that never happened.

There are allowable marriage ages below 18, that’s why. Not saying this is a good thing. Just that it be a thing.
Map of the USA showing marriage age by state - with parental consent. It’s partially wrong because Alabama has changed to be a 16 year old minimum, but it serves the point of showing states color-coded by minimum marital age with only approx a quarter of them coded at 18.

Slingbois unite!
Picture is a back sling which differs from a backpack in that it is a cool teardrop shape with only one strap up top, allowing a cross-chest comfort setting as well as rotating the whole pack around to the front without doing a double-jointed idiot wiggle-waggle trying to access the ordinary two-strap backpack. 
This particular sling looks like it should contain a skeeky lute, readily-accessed by a zipper that swoops from the top across one side of the sling pack. It is colorful with prehistoric leafy fronds on a black background. 
Oddly superior sling pictured was snarfed from a Walmart site. Gofiggur!

This pic is an obvious AI generation for my local tire folks. Their text is above the picture of a white blonde woman unfortunately merging hands with the handsome tanned serviceman.  I’m certain it’s supposed to be the standard of a honest handshake agreement, though it’s become a horror-show of two wrist-aliens spawning odd fingers and thumbs from their solid body of hand-like substance. Worse yet, the lady is shaking her right arm against his left arm, leaving the poor AI confused as to how those hands might’ve looked, if they weren’t a bothersome blob of fleshy mess.

Owls hereabouts are hidden magic wonders hoovering up dem rats, but very rarely at dusk I can spot a blurry entity that I swear was an owl.
The image is sparse. Twilight blues cover the sky and a a skeleton of a former tree reaches up into it.  One long limb remains outstretched from the decrepit dead tree and, upon the very tip of that precariously-rotted limb, sits a familiar-shaped blur that I know was an owl.

This is a jaunty green picture, with a bean stem up the center of the frame. Light green buds from the bean plant are in three clusters along the center stem, and the middle set of buds have a larger light green bud with a tiny bit of white flower peeping out like some surreptitious panty slip, with a fuzzy black and black and yellow bee hanging from it, face buried to the HILT into the flower.
Gorgeous texture patterns feather out on the green leaves a distant hanging along this erotic bee action.

All I’ve been told is “multiflora” which seems to have stuck for me - as I can see how it crams multiple flowers into one. My glorious one is a peach/pink and was snarfed at $5 clearance last year. Never bought better!
This is the multiflora rose I wrote of. The background is the healthy vibrant green leaves with almost the entire frame taken up with the slightly-wider-oval of the rose. This flower is crammed with dozens of layers of petals, as if three different flowers were held together long enough to agree on only the outer layers of petals. The flower colors are light and dark pink at the outer rim, darker pink moving inwards, and the jumble of perhaps three roses inside are trending across the pink to peach to yellow.

I’ve been gifted the starter plants for iron weed as I’d not found any near my farm. It’s been gorgeous to watch this summer.
A lyretail butterfly sits atop ironweed flowers. 
The lyretail has wide open wings of soft yellow and black stripes at shoulder and along the trim of the wings. Small dimples of light blue live at the tail.  
The ironweed blooms are tiny clusters of fluff, each fluff a magical purple that’s not dark like a royal purple and not light like an Easter pastel but truly the sweetest bright purple spot on the spectrum, fit for Liberace hisself.

The berries contrast nicely with the light green leaves that duck into the view and surround the small nest.

Spring at the northern 34th parallel
Focus in this pic is on the first bloom from a small peach tree.  The bloom wraps slightly-dark pink petals in an oval pointing slightly down and leftward. Within the hollow of the petal enclosure are light yellow stems of the pistils topped with their orange fuzzy pollen pops. 
The bloom hangs to the left of the small twig of the tree, which is sporting another barely-evident bud at its top. In the blurred background is a full field of green grass field, still short from the winter, and a few other twigs from the tree, one with a green leaf starting at the tip and another with a pink nub of a future bloom. 
The picture looks satisfying, as if winter is done, but here these trees may have to make 2 or even 3 tries at spring since the evil weather freeze-god will keep coming in to try to vanquish all possible life forms.

This picture is from 1927, as evidenced by the glorious inked text below it, as it was scanned in-situ from my grandmother’s photo album.  It is a high-contrast black and white print of her father way back then in Germany. He is standing stiltedly but smiling in what looks to be a brown suit, with full vestments and watch fob chain. His arms are at his side with the left hand holding a barely-seen cigar. 
He stands in front of very tall sunflowers, a full field of them, all much taller than he is. Their flowers in the black-and-white photo look like deep black circles with ragged light jags of petals on their outside. The leaves of the plants shine as if they’d been individually dusted and oiled to be gorgeous, yet also ragged.

Daybreak fire
The saturated picture shows a lower section of a winding gravel path through greenish-brown fieldgrass curing past a dark barn with white highlight trim. Beyond that section are the winter skeletons of tall trees, sparse at the edges of the picture but with a dense leafless group in the center. These dark trees foil the sky behind them which is a gradient from the horizon being a bloody/orange pre-sunrise that looks like a fire giving off the pastel pinks and fluffy purple and magenta cloud deck as if they were smoke.

This is what the forest is advertising today. Better than anything else I’ve seen in adverts.
After a cold rain, the forest floor is blobbed with glistening dark brown dead leaves, mostly belly-up and twisted into shapes as gorgeous as the orange mushroom pair in the main focus.  The pair of mushrooms are a dull yet bright orange with only a few tiny flecks of white upon them. It’s a May-December pair of orange caps, with the elder having opened wide and spread to the point that her edges yellow and fringe white, while the hearty youth has a cap that is tightly-held beneath her and remains entirely orange.  Perhaps the elder took the brunt of the cold as a wild wrinkled shield, and the younger caresses her gills with a mild upward touch.
