I am not sure if it is something new, but every time Noah is picked up from school, he is asking for a play date. Whether at home or at somebody else's place, it is always

Can I play at .....

or

Can He or She play at my house

I cannot remember I had that many play dates or play dates at all. I do remember I had a play friend, let's call her Judith .... I used to play with all the time. Actually I am still friends with her; she does not live close-by but we met a couple times and it is always good to see each other again. So, I guess we had kind of play dates ....
**

Before I dive into this, Riley, you have to stop here, this blog is not for you :–)

**Well, this time it was different. Noah was going to play with a little boy that is one year above him. Is six and a half and that makes a world of difference ...... Noah, still five definitely is smaller, younger and thinking differently. But all fine, Noah can play with everybody he wants to ....... that is what I thought ..... all fine ! ! !

Corona has been good in one way, we are all working at home, so it is easier to manage these play dates. Noah's mom was in conference calls, so, I was sitting downstairs with the boys in the living room and me in the dining/ kitchen room ! ! !

It all started with coming into the house ..... running towards the couch and starting to jump up and down, up and down, up and of the couch ...... Yeah, that happens when you jump on the couch, that is why you don't jump on the couch ! ! ! Oh and if you thought this happened with socks or bare-feet, no with shoes. Couches are just a material item, but let's not break stuff.

Next, pushing each other, all good, all good ! ! ! Okay, they went for a tickle battle, but suddenly somebody felt like kicking was more fun than tickling with hands. So, I had to stop what I was doing and got the boys separated. You guys want to drink something, water, sirup, chocolate milk .....? ? ? YEAH, and what about some cucumbers and tomatoes? YEAH ! ! !

1. I know I cannot judge other people, so I will not
2. I know I cannot say anything about how others raise their child(ren), so I will not
3. I know I should treat others as I want them to treat me, so I will
   

So, eating Cucumbers, I was watching them as they were quiet ... I saw the little boy picking his mouth and little pieces of cucumber were kicked under the couch .....1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 count Twin, count, stay cool.....

Eh, what did you do there ? ? ?

Kicked some Cucumber under the couch as I don't really like the edges..... ! ! !

You do this at home .... At home it's okay to kick food you do not like under the couch ? ? ?

No, but I don't like it .......

Logic of a six year old, I do not really understand this logic, but it is just a fact ..... I think ! ! !

So, I asked him, friendly, to clean it up and throw it away. If looks could kill ....... Well, I am still writing this blog.

Time to play with cars. I remember playing when I was young, back and forward, building little streets and imagine a lot of fun stuff.

Wrecking stuff, Fender Benders, hitting two cars together, it is just unbelievable what you can do, with other peoples stuff, trying to break stuff. I was reaching my level ..... Really ...... 2 guys 5 and 6, I am working ..... PEOPLE ! ! !

OKAY, it is enough, iPad, watch have fun and talk to you later. Now watch something you both like ....

NOW WATCH SOMETHING YOU BOTH LIKE ! ! ! !

I said it myself, but that watching, finding something they both liked .... never happened ! ! ! Once again, voices were raised, I want to watch this, no this, okay. Normally Noah is a relaxed little dude, but he got fired up and I am not too sure this is him. But once again, if he wants this it is all fine. I don't want to watch anymore, the little six year old boy said, so they went upstairs to Noah's room.

Oh Lord ! ! !

Noah has a little foosball table and well, that was, according to the sounds coming from the room, the next item that was getting wrecked

Don't do that otherwise you break it?

Wow, Noah, finally you are stepping it up.

The clock was not moving fast enough, but finally it was there: DING DONG ! ! !

His mother was there and asked about her son, if it had been fun ....

Should I tell her a factual answer or should I be politically correct? ? ?

Well, they were fighting a lot, it has been an interesting afternoon ! ! !

We cannot choose the boys and girls our son is playing with, we can steer him in a particular direction, but we cannot judge or say anything; he needs to choose himself and ............ NO ! ! !

Just play with this little guy at school, in our house he will NOT try to break stuff again. Little guy ......... @%^#@$^% , keep counting TWIN, keep counting ! ! !

Oh, and once again, Riley ...... your little one is going to be an angel ! ! !

STAY SAFE ! ! !

This morning I was lucky as I ran into a couple photographers that were taking pictures in the woods. I was looking a little closer and saw they were taking pictures of some mushrooms. Had to ask about it of course ! ! !

I found out there was a whole trail, 20 in total, set out, highlighting all the different fungi in the forrest. Sounded cool, first of all, 20 different ones ! ! !

Only not so cool thing .... 11:00 it was over and at that moment my phone said 10:53 .... had to get Noah, my son, to do the trail together. Well, would take the chance and a lovely lady was able to tell me the start was at the Ice Track. We went there and we got a little map, how to walk, where to find the different mushroom/ fungi. This was done by the ““Milieu Educatie Centrum” (MEC) what pretty much stands for Environmental Education Centre. So there we went. Following the map. Noah was the gatekeeper of the map and he would walk us around ! ! !

Ready for it, here we go.

First we wanted to absorb the beauty of the forest. We had a nice little sunshine between the leaves

We started off with a fungus. They normally grow on dead branches of deciduous trees. Fungus are “cleaners” of the forest. I don't think they are the nicest looking, but they definitely serve their purpose ! ! !

The second picture probably looks more familiar and covers tree trunks and dead branches. They look very impressive and is definitely in your face .... you have probably seen these one before and yes, I have seen this before also: it is called the normal Sulfur Head and will only be found on dead trees. A so called “Cleaner” of the EcoSystem.

All names may be off, not correct in English as I translate them directly from the Dutch name. Should look them up in Latin and after that in English, but now, literal translations some times are funnier ! ! !

I call it little “Sunny Side Up Fungi”

The day started of well, we had the sunshine through the trees and some places, that do not see a lot of sunshine got some light. Even if it would have rained big time, it would not have mattered, “ the green leaves umbrella” above us would have saved us from a cold shower.

Next up, “the Oak Blood Fungi” (Eikenbloedzwam). Looks like an underwater plant (Coral) but it lives above the water, in the forest underneath the bark layer. With thin threads it comes through the bark and shows the red brown heads, like you see on the picture:

The next leaflet opened my eyes again. It was talking about a yellow mushroom that also has a purple little sister, see the following picture:

I thought it was amazing, that I had never seen this color in the forest, as it stands out, but it also blends it perfectly with the amazing Fall colours. There was a specific area what they showed and we saw this one clearly.

The piece of paper warned us, we should not focus too much on the area they wanted us to look at, as the purple fungus is everywhere around us ................ O M G (oh my God) ...... they were right ...... suddenly we saw them everywhere. So focused walking towards the piece of paper, we totally missed 10 / 20 / 50 / 100 of others just standing around us and ...... eh ..... maybe underneath our shoes ! ! !

THOSE COLOURS ! ! !

AMAZING ! ! !

Well, and then it went wrong. We were searching for the next one and I saw the area where it was located. Noah .....well, he did NOT see the area and just barged into the area and went on ..... OH, sorry.... he really did not see it, although the mission was look on the ground ! ! !

Let's quickly move to the next one

Just a couple shots of the next Fungi:

The red ones ....... really ! ! ! Never 've seen them .... THERE ! ! !

It was so much fun seeing all these living fungi. Did not know there were so many around us on such a small area:

Many different pictures, colours, forms ... amazing.

It took us well over an hour to look at all the twenty different ones and well, we found all of them and like all the other kids and parents around us shared our OOOOOOOOO's and AAAAAAAA's

Funny, in 2020, we can still do things like this. Corona around us, computers, smart phones and other technical items ruining the simple things like a scavenger hunt for mushrooms on a Sunday morning ..... BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP ...... a Whatsapp from my wife you guys not getting SOAKED by the rain ? ? ? ...... well, thank you “green umbrella” ! ! !

Another great example of a fungus on a dead tree:

These can get wider than a meter (approx. 3 feet) and I am sure you have seen before .....

Another one, it absolutely looks like Coral and for that reason it has coral in its name:

Never seen this one before either .... and yes those are little raindrops on the leaves beside the coral, good for them though, because water from time to time is something needed desperately. Water, trees, leaves, temperature, light, lack of light, it all is important to what kind of mushroom / fungus can live in a particular area and what cannot.

The color of this “Straight Coral Fungus” is not good though. When it is young it is white and the older it gets or when it is sick/ dying, it turns darker, brown reddish, and it is not a good sign. Fungus Spores can be found in the little tubes and when the spores are ripe, the air feels dry, the tubes will open and the spores are blown away by the wind.

Once again, thank you MEC, for all the shared information besides all the fungi ! ! !

I was very pleased to share this with our son; I could not have done this without all the information given to us. Google can teach us a lot, but learning in nature is nicer.

There was still that one question, where is that image we have in our head, that we've formed when we were all little. Well, at the end of the tour, it finally was there:

Source

Well, that of course is a little bit of a joke but we did not see the famous “fly agaric” The red fungus with white dots.

Oh hey buddy, how are you doing ! ! !

What we did see is the following:

Rain in a pond .......... I hear you thinking ........ I hear you thinking ...... YES YES ....... a Ripple effect ! ! !

Once again, I definitely want to thank he MEC, they did an amazing job and gave a lot of Parents and their children a great afternoon, at least this father and son .....

Hopefully this blog will help people to look a little bit more to the ground and search for more details in a forest for example. It was really nice and hope you get the chance doing the same

STAY SAFE ! ! !

Since this year Pokemon has been a big thing in our house. My son discovered Pokemon Cards and I tell you, it is a big thing. Not only in our house, but it has been picked up in town ..... or maybe it has never been away, I don't know ! ! !

At the end of February Noah and myself started with PokemonGo. The virus was spreading so, free as a bird, together walking or by bike .... nobody around, keeping our distance, lots of fun.

Let's re-visit the Pokemon Cards, Noah is already trading in school. All his friends collect the cards and sometimes, even sometimes the cards are SOLD OUT in our city, due to popularity ....

Well, that gave my wife and me the following challenge. Besides ALL THE THINGS Noah already has, we would like to paint some Pokemon – Pocket Monsters on the walls in his bedroom. Probably an easy task for Kass, but it definitely is challenging for us.

We need to think about this first:

1. What characters ? ? ?
2. Noah Name
3. Pokemon Name
4. Pokemon Ball
5. Paint
6. ...... All the things we have not thought about

So the characters are kind of easy. We need to discuss this with the little man and just ask him the names he wants to see in his room. We discussed and this is what he came up with:

Totodile, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Charizard, Meowth and Snorlax.

So this part was done. We had all the drawings done and this had to be transferred to his walls. Bigger drawings as these are too small.

We thought about projecting the drawings on the wall, well we don't have a projector and we kinda want to do it this weekend. Still, doesn't mean we should look into this as it makes things a bit easier. There are a couple examples of doing it this way and without making it a commercial for Projectors:

Source

Second possibility: blowing up the pictures, use them as templates, have the outer lines and do the rest ourselves. Was actually our first option, but the longer we thought about the beamer, the longer we thought the blown up photos are not working out ....... knowing our drawing capabilities ......

Still, we went to the copyshop to get bigger sizes:

Well, we still have some decisions to make. We do have Noah's name that we would like to put on the wall also:

Well, this is going to take some time. Lot of fun, BUT as the title implies, Part I, this is going to have a part II. The smaller drawings DID find another purpose though:

Nice drawings, which we WILL hang up also ! ! !

STAY SAFE ! ! !

Inspired by my Wordless Wednesday, talking about the different skies out there, I decided to have a walk this morning to check out how mother nature was doing. And it was not raining, so enjoy it while it is dry ! ! !

And I can tell you, she is doing great. I do have to say, we are lucky living in such a green area, all the colours are showing itself again. Places you normally take for granted, actually you don't even know you take them for granted, are suddenly stunning.

Let's start with the walk. It was a little earlier, so I would not have to tell people to move out of the way for my “perfect” pictures.

Right outside the house, it was already Jackpot:

Going towards the forrest, we have a very nice road right going through ! ! !

To give you the feeling, the sound I heard, it is so relaxing, I made a little video for you:

https://youtu.be/3KGiZg-6D_E

The massive green around us with all the leaves on the ground, smells awesome, look spectacular and well, I hope the short video transfers the tranquility with the birds, well, the was 1 bike coming by, but it is very serene.

I will show some more images I ran across, that I definitely want to share with you guys:

The area is old, has a lot of old castles still standing. With water, animals, greenery it is an amazing area:

Couple sheep had no clue what I was doing, just continued doing their business ! ! !

Always nice to start a day like this. Sun coming through giving the ground a mosaic view. Had a great time and hope you feel the same.

Have a great day ! ! !

STAY SAFE ! ! !

As a little research I went to the City Center last weekend and did some questioning. I wanted to know what the mass knows about Crypto Currency and what they thought about the current Economy. I only had three questions I had in mind and wanted to share. If people were open for it, I was not sure about it, but wanted to test it all by myself.

1. Are you familiar with the terms Crypto Currency and/ or Bitcoin?
2. Do you know any other digital currency/ token / Coin?
3. Would you / Are you Invest(ed) in it?

Of course the questions were not to deep, but did not want to make it too difficult, as I am still a stranger approaching them.

Well, let me tell you, it was very interesting and what we know about the mass and knowledge about crypto, it is TRUE ......,

I will finish that sentence at the end of my Blog ! ! !

So, taking my bike in the morning, mask with me, I had my questions with me, I went to the City Center and first sat down in a coffee place to have some tea. I would ask the waiter/ waitress my questions first in order to warm up ..... besides the cup of coffee of course.

I was approached by this young lady who asked me what I wanted to drink: well, a cup of mint tea and eh ..... I have a question for you:

Have you ever heard of Crypto Currency, Digital Money ? ? ?

eh, Bitcoin, you're talking about?

Well, if this was going to be the standard, I was in for a fun day ! ! ! Yeah, yeah, that is what I mean. You know any other name? No, I heard my ex talk about Bitcoin, but has been a long time ago and everything affiliated to him is evil ......

Okay, that turned awkward all of a sudden .......

Let's just sit here and enjoy my coffee and think about this. I think that I formulated my first question correct, not giving them an example, Bitcoin, what could form an answer. I needed to interview a lot of people to make it a little bit representative.... 20, 50, 100, more; how open are people to answer, how fast would it go ..... oh all those questions, hey a cookie came with my tea.

I would just go with the flow and see what I was able to bring in. I just want to interview people and whatever they wanted to share, it is going to be representative, because my pole, my time, my rules, so representative ! ! !

Before I left the coffee place, I wanted to wash my hands and ran into this middle-aged gentleman at the restroom. Not too sure as face masks cover a lot, but my best estimated guess ...... 42 ! ! !

Sir, weird question in the restroom, but I am running this pole, have you ever heard of Bitcoin (let's see this approach)....

Don't talk to me about that coin, takes hours before you receive it and buying for 18.000 was not a good decision ....

Wow, let's talk about sharing feelings ! ! !

So, you bought in 2018 ? ? ?

Don't talk about it ..... still mad, sold all of it ! ! !

HE LEFT ! ! !

Hmmm, well, two total different answers and two unhappy people, sounds like crypto Twitter

I did smile a little though, because 2 out of 2 heard of Bitcoin, did not get passed that question, but it was interesting .....

So, washed my hands, set up my phone to scribble the answers and there I went, into the streets of the Crypto Knowledge of Disbelief .....

Sir, can I ask you a question, ........ NO ! ! !

Mam, can I ...... too busy sorry,

Hey Guys, what about ....... bye, waving the three guys walking away without answering ! ! !

How easy it started this was going to be a little bit of a task. Actually it was 11 people not even listening to a question. Then I opened the dialogue with a different sentence:

Sir, I have a question about money?

Well, what is your question?

Have you heard of Digital Money ? ? ?

I work in the Financial Industry, hard not too, is it not ? ? ?

So, you must be aware of XRP, CBDC's and the a likes ? ? ?

CBDC, yes, we are working on it right now, but that first thing X .... not sure what that is ...... Hmm, very Disappointed ! ! !

Can I ask you what FI you work for?

You can, but I will not answer; What do you need these answers for, never heard anybody speak about it outside work?

Hmm, I thought I was the interviewer but answered him by telling him I was looking at the knowledge level of the big mass regarding crypto currency.

Love the initiative, but do this next year, you will get better answers, Good Luck to you and walked away .....

He may be very right, although, the first two people knew about it and the rest, well the rest was just not answering. I was still pretty positive, 14 people, 3 knew about it, and the rest did not even answer. I was going to look for my new victim ......

2 Guys were approaching, 20 -25 years of age, University City, they know about it .....

So, you guys are up to date on the newest economic things ? ? ?

Sure, one of them answered, and it was really sure as I had to repeat my question in English, turned out they were American.

You guys have heard of Crypto Currency ? ? ?

Yeah, I actually own a couple, Ethereum, Vechain, Dogecoin, started to laugh a little, oh yeah and a bit XRP as a joke ....

I was glowing, but funny ..... XRP was the joke after he mentioned Dogecoin ! ! !

Wow, that is amazing, please tell me how did you get into it ? ? ?

Was with my dad, he had some money invested in Bitcoin and I kept asking him what it was. I ran into Dogecoin, thought it was funny and bought it with some Bitcoin I got from my father ... Took a while, but it worked very well in the end.

and Vechain, XRP that probably went very quickly ? ? ?

Bought Vechain earlier this year, heard some things about Walmart and they are big, not really following. XRP, bought that December 2017, should have waited a bit, but I only have like 90 something of them.

So interesting, that he gave me all that information, what is it with Crypto that people, when they find people to talk about, share everything, literally everything.

So where is it going with Digital Currency, ignoring the second guy a bit? Well, depends on the money printing the second guy suddenly said ..... if that stops, well time for some digital dollars .... *WOW*, I was in disbelief ! ! !

You guys discuss this in school or with friends or ..... ? ? ?

Well, with a couple friends yes, and school, bits and pieces but you learn more on Twitter, lots of talking about Crypto ..... We need to go now though, mom is waiting .....

Thanks guys, appreciate the answers

Wow, before I was able to share Twitter, they were gone. Interesting guys.

I couldn't be happier; I had some nice encounters and the negative ones, well, those people just did not want to talk, so not really negative.

I may have cursed myself a bit because from the next 16 people, 7 did not want to answer and the rest, had no clue about Crypto, with 2 Bitcoin rang a (little) bell, but nothing more.

31 people interviewed for the statistics. It started to rain a little, not good for the statistics.

I interviewed 4 more people, to make it a round number. 2 of those did not really want to interact and answering the first question with a firm no, walked away being bothered asking a question.

The other two heard of Bitcoin. One shared it was fake money and the other talked about criminals that launder money with Bitcoin ..... Oh boy, it had been a long day, BUT, I was able to get into it .....

Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yen, each currency separately, has been used more to launder money than Bitcoin ! ! !

Well, Bitcoin is just dirty

..... That is the battle right there, but not today .... Thank you enjoy your weekend ....

So 35 people interviewed, many people did not really want to talk, but the ones that DID answer had something to say. All in all, I was pretty positive and although I never asked for XRP, the three letter word *DID* fall ...... NICE ! ! !

**STAY SAFE ! ! !

This blog is not dealing with Bridge, the asset that is used in between international transaction but about Bridge ..... Bridge, bridge is not bridge but bridge ? ! ?

It is the card game ... When I was 8 years old, my grandfather wanted to talk to me. He explained:

if I was ever in a foreign country and three people were looking for a fourth person, to play the Bridge, it needs to be you ! ! !

Well, 8 years old, there I was standing ! ! ! My brother and me sat every Sunday together with our Grandfather and learnt all the principles, the conventions, and techniques that the game holds. I probably played till I was 15 and then it was no more Bridge ....

When I was living in the U.S. with my brother, we had a lot of fun. One day he had a meeting with a friend in a city nearby and I told him I would join, just checking out the city; and so we did. While he was meeting, I walked around and passed a retirement home with a lot of people in there that were about to play a card game. Bolt as I was, stepped in and yes, they were looking for a fourth player, grandpa, rest his soul ! ! !

So, I was playing with the old folks, with me in the place, the average age dropped immensely, still well over 70 probably. Bridge is a global card game, with the same set of rules all over the world. They differ a little here and there, but overall, I was able to play with these people without too many problems. Yes, Arbitrage (let's say .... the umpire) was called on me from time to time, but it was fun to play with these older people and they liked it also. My brother called me and well, he was looking for me and within 10 minutes I was able to play together with my brother against the smartest aged people in the city ....

We had a lot of fun, we were only playing risky contracts, what meant the ref, arbiter was called a couple times on us, but no serious problems.

The only thing I will explain about bridge is that you have to explain your cards to your partner, you play 2 agains 2, by bidding particular things. Saying things could mean something totally different but the object of the game is to win as many tricks as you said upfront to win with your partner ....... Understand; it is really easy ! ! !

We stayed for a couple of hours and that was the last time I played bridge ..... till like 3 years ago ! ! !

A friend of my moms was looking for a bridge partner as his previous partner passed away. That happens as most of these people are really old. I told him it had been “a couple” years when I played for the last time, but I wanted to try.

Well, the bridge club he attends, has three different groups and we had to start at the lowest one. Every half year you would be able to climb a group, so after a year we were playing in the highest group. And yes I was having fun.

Every Thursday I would go a retirement home and we would play with like 80 -120 old people. I also feel that I am doing something back to the community.

There is one lady that gave me cookies every week; secretly she is a little bit in love with me, but everybody knows :–) Sadly but true every week/ bi-weekly/ once per three weeks, we have to stand up for a minute to pay our respect as somebody passed away again. It is sad, but part of life. It is also the reason how I entered this “world”.

I love playing with my partner, passed the 80 already and in love with life. Yes, he had cancer, is battling already for 12 years, but he is standing strong; loves to play with me. For Noah, he is like a grandpa and his wife like a grandma.

Well, then there was 2020 ....... Virus time. The Virus does not really work well with older people, so the bridge club was closed, as the gathering of 80+ people together was prohibited, besides the fact they are a risk group. So, solution ........ online bridge.

Now we play weekly with the help of a computer. It is a lot of fun, to see some of these older people struggle with the correct buttons, but it is still something I cannot let go.

My grandfather said it when I was 8, if you can be that 4th person, BE that 4th person and I am still number 4 and I love it

**STAY HEALTY

So, Noah and myself had to go to the hairdresser today. We did not have an appointment, so at opening time, 11:00 AM we were present with our face masks ! ! !

If they had time to cut two guys ..... ? ? ?

Do you have an appointment ? ? ?

Well, no, problematic ? ? ?

Nope, not problematic, but no space ! ! !

Well, that went smooth and before we knew it, we were standing outside again, with the same amount of hair on our heads .... New plan: Dunkin Donuts ! ! !

Good thing I carried the face mask as it was not mandatory but frowned upon not to wear one. So Noah took a Cookie Monster Blue Donut and I took a normal one ! ! ! We signed our names on the list and went upstairs to take a nice seat.

It was actually pretty full, BUT every second table was not in use and it looked very safe; so we sat down at a table in the middle.

We enjoyed our donut and suddenly I overheard some men sitting “next” to us, two tables away, talking about “ Kwantitatieve Versoepeling” I actually asked them if that was the same as Quantitative Easing ? ? ? I actually had never heard the word in Dutch .....

They confirmed and asked me why ..... hmm .... I felt a Blog Story was forming ! ! !

Well, I told them, it is one of the reasons why there is going to be a financial reset as soon as “ Kwantitatieve Versoepeling” is coming to a halt ! ! !

Interesting they told told me as I prepared my phone showing some cartoons for Noah. One of the guys turned around and wanted to ask me something .... Him and his buddy were discussing investment planning for the coming Quarters / Years and what was my idea, banks, bonds, stock or Gold / Silver ? ? ?

Secretly I was waiting for one more option, but it never came ..... I decided to ask them about it: And eh ....

What about Crypto ? ? ?

The guys looked at me and started to chuckle; yeah right, you mean that Bitcoin and all the scams, laundering money and criminal activities ? ? ?

Oh BOY, he did not just say that ! ! !

Noah, ..... Daddy is going to be talking for a little while ! ! !

Well, gentlemen, all in Dutch, there has been more laundering with Dollars, Euros, Pounds and/ or Yen, to name a view and the wild west stories you are talking about may have been true / may be true, the industry has changed .... you know Bitcoin has been here for 10 years ? ? ?

Wow, no, I did not know this ! ! !

So, can you tell me something about the crypto world, you seem to know more about it .....

Wow, this was REALLY interesting ..... So, I spoke about Bitcoin, Proof of Work, Mining, 21 Million Blah Blah Blah .... They were listening with mouths wide open.

When I actually mentioned Proof of Work, a gentlemen on the stairs said, is NOT gonna work, you better look at XRP ! ! !

OH MY GOODNESS, I DID NOT HEAR SOMEBODY MENTIONING XRP ! ! !

The story got more interested and the gentlemen, who was invested in XRP explained what it was. I was just listening and well, he said a couple interesting things. He did share XRP was owned by Ripple, had to step in there and he also mentioned that Ripple was dumping a lot of XRP on the market. I explained the ESCROW situation and that was new to him ! ! !

I had the time of my life. And when I was leaving the Donut store, 1 hour later, I had shared my phone number, the guys were going to look into XRP and call me next week. This was fun, talking to a stranger about something a like to talk about, but don't have a lot of willingly listeners.

This was a lot of fun ... We still needed to go to the hairdresser though. Well, next week new chance ! ! !

STAY SAFE ! ! !
