Four hair salons very close to me, three on my block. One, I already don't trust. I checked the other three, & anywhere from $50 to $130, none of them would cut my hair in a chair on the sidewalk. It'd cost them nothing, & they all refused - "we don't do that" - well maybe not yet you haven't.

Rabbit rabbit rabbit!

A section of ancient Egyptian papyrus art showing a tall female figure in a reddish dress-like garment and a teal colored circular necklace-like garment or adornment around the neck and collarbone areas. She has long dark hair and her head is that of a hare or rabbit, seen from the side. She appears to be holding a long brown snake’s body below her waist, pulled taut into a line behind her and hanging down at either side.

I can finally make higher quality videos! Longer ones too as I have an SD card.

In typical poor person luck fashion I got it in a very strange way too.

I went to a garage sale, and they had a phone with a cracked screen they were gonna throw out, that they weren't even selling.

I asked if I could take it, and I popped open the SD slot and it had a 256 gig card that still worked!

I was working with 64 gigs of internal, which really was only 7 after apps/system stuff.

The number 48" is considered lucky in Chinese culture. Which is why a driver named Liu paid $145,705 to get a license plate on his $4,370 car that read"88888" for good luck... only to be pulled over by police exactly 8 times on his first day on the road, because cops thought it must be fake.

I found my first one at age 26, after my ethnic Irish MIL taught me to. Before that I didn’t believe they existed.

_The Evening Post_, 17 April 1925:
UNDER A LUCKY STAR
Some people are born under a lucky star. The express which left #Invercargill at 6.10 a.m. on Tuesday had a large complement of passengers, and the abrupt pulling up of the train at Mill road crossing, a short distance out of Invercargill, caused some consternation, states the “Otago Daily Times.” Windows were thrown up, and the passengers noticed in the dusk a bulky shape alongside the engine. A crowd soon gathered, and was much astonished to see a man arise from a motor-car and step on to the railway track, unhurt. Inquiries elicited the information that he had pulled up across the track earlier in the morning, and had gone to sleep. The impact of the train against his car made him realise that his place of rest was scarcely the most suitable. As the engine was jammed into the body of the motor-car, with the cow-catcher resting on the running board, it was found necessary to back the train. The car, which had been carried about 25 yards along the track, was then pushed to safety by a number of the passengers, and seemed little the worse for the collision. The train was able to proceed on its way after a delay of about 15 minutes

The 4 Types of Luck by Sahil Bloom [Shared]

The 4 Types of Luck
In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.

In it, Dr. Austin proposed that there are four types of luck:

Blind Luck
Luck from Motion
Luck from Awareness
Luck from Uniqueness
Here's how to think about each type:

The image features three white dice in mid-air against a dark background. The dice are captured in a dynamic state, with one die in the foreground showing a five, another in the middle showing a six, and the third in the background showing a five. The dice are illuminated by a light source from the upper left, casting shadows on the surface below. The focus is sharp on the dice, highlighting the black dots representing the numbers, while the background remains blurred, emphasizing the motion of the dice. The overall composition is minimalist, with the contrast between the white dice and the dark background creating a striking visual effect.

Now that I'm retired, I've had some time to think back on my whole career. With this perspective, it's become clear to me that a lot of things I thought were really important, just aren't in the big picture. Anyway, I wrote a short article about what made my career successful, and about the best thing I ever did.

You can read it on my no-ads, no-tracking, personal site.

(Another nice thing about retirement is not having to build an audience or hustle for work. I can just write openly and not worry if it's going to annoy anyone.)

A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6
