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:
- She got all the Ws in the title. Definitely a Winner.
Wednesday Walk in Water Colour
- 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
Stop Worrying Seek Happiness
Oh the temptation to say something sarcastic about this post is so strong.
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 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.

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