Staking coins was fun but now by default I am a curator. Every two hours or so my voting mana is recharged and ready to go, but I am not. I plan to swoop in and leave my vote, but the temptation to read the entire post is too strong.

I want to make sure I am not voting for crap and I am drawn in by a story or an idea or a title. Why can't I just swoop in and upvote and leave? I am attached. The community is an organism not an organization. I am concerned about friends I made and I am challenged to think about points of view that I never thought of before.

Mostly I am drawn to comment and give my two cents and say, "Hey I was here. How are you?" There is a desire inside that wants to tell the world that I am alive and I am listening and I have a brain. So I can't leave the post without making a comment.

This week I am busy at work and busy preparing for the Korean holiday, Chuseok. I wanted to sit back and just curate posts for a day. The result is that I was swept away reading articles from our community.

Here are some I visited today:

Hive account@samsmith1971 - She got all the Ws in the title. Definitely a Winner.

Wednesday Walk in Water Colour

Hive account@offgridlife - The Macfarlane's House

This house on the water was a beauty. I can see Family Guy doing a little dance in there. Check out the full post here

Hive account@vikbuddy Stop Worrying Seek Happiness

Oh the temptation to say something sarcastic about this post is so strong.

Hive account@sugandhaseth She didn't know what to write

I don't know what to write is the name of her post. I always think it is better to write about nothing but then as soon as I start writing about nothing a flow of inspiration comes. It turns out that Hive account@sugandhaseth is building up a treasure of early parenting skills and experiences. Here she writes about loving her kid. She sure wrote a lot that day for having nothing to write about.

I don't know if this kid in the picture is her boy or not, but I imagine her boy is not so much different from this boy. Maybe she is one of the most blessed people in the world.

Other News

1. Friendly Moose had a photo contest. It's kind of like word of the week but with pictures. This weeks word was "water".

2. The beer bot is working but it takes a day to get beer. I guess the bot is a little drunk or there is some prohibition going on. We have to wait for bootleggers.

3. I bought some wine and staked it in the wine cooler. I will give the wine to an interesting comment I find on this post today.
