Jan 23 -- Steemit Ramble #61 -- Don't You Hate Missing Good Posts?

Well, the beginning of another week. I can’t hardly believe that I’m in Ontario at almost the end of January and there is zero snow on the ground and the temperatures have been mild enough that a sweatshirt and t-shirt is all I need to wear, well slacks too in order to keep my butt warm.

We are supposed to get some snow this evening but it likely wont last as the temps are staying mild. Since we had a drought last summer, it is at least helpful that we’ve had a fair amount of rain. There are some wells that will benefit from the rain since there is no snow cover to melt in the spring so far.

Onward to today’s rambling

Are the whales losing out?

Interesting perspective from Hive account@fiveboringgames on the whales of Steemit. While there is a lot of criticism and complaining about the Steem Power and influence the whales have on the site, it isn’t often you see someone expressing a different perspective on them. A very worthwhile read. Balance is important.

The Switch Foundation, where the mind is immortal.

A thought provoking piece of flash fiction. The disturbing part of it is, that our advances may not be so far away from this actually being possible.

What Happens When Heavy Snowfall Hits Japan?

Hive account@penguinpablo provides us with some photos of some truly creative snow sculpting from Japan. Very cool stuff.

Why Curiousity is Man's Greatest Tool

Hive account@ansah300 writes an interesting post about the power of curiousity in our lives. We all have curiousity, some have greater amounts of it than others. It is rare I meet anyone who doesn’t at some point get curious about something. Hive account@ansah300 just joined this month and this is the first post. Have a visit and give Hive account@ansah300 some support as a beginner on the site.

The character of leadership: The art of NOT being everybody´s darling

Hive account@surfermarly writes about how leading for the good of the organization creates distance between the leader and those being led. In some ways that distance is needed but it can be isolating. I live through that on a regular basis as I lead an organization. The upside is that when I have to make decisions that aren’t particularly popular, I am not losing friends I don’t have.

Today in history: The first Frisbee!

Who hasn’t tossed a Frisbee at some point in their lives? Hive account@steemizen writes a great piece about the history of the toy that crosses generations in popularity.

The Small Town Beer Run Runaround

Truth is often stranger than fiction Hive account@nonameslefttouse tells his true but bizarre story of trying to buy some beer as he passes through a small community in Saskatchewan (detail found in comments).

Wrap-up on Day #61

Interesting day today. I was able to get some serious work done on the Ramble before going to do my volunteer shift at the branch, a bit more done during my shift and then able to finish it up this evening. A variety of posts caught my attention today. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Supporting and Upvoting

Let’s not forget folks. I’m sharing these posts not only because I like them. I’d really like to see them get support and upvoting. I know some of the posts have done okay by the time I post my ramble, but some really could use the support and upvoting.
