Today is Friday, November 5th and I am happy to be alive.
When walking today, I noticed this deer in the camping area that is located just off the road. There were several deer that we saw while walking at three different locations. With the cooler weather, more deer are coming closer to the house.
Last night when I was letting Roxie, our dog, out before going to bed, I heard noises over to the side of the house. When I shined my flashlight over in that direction, there were two deer standing still in the front yard and then they took off.
I am taking part in the #IAmAliveChallenge. The 4 basic points to take part in the #IAmAliveChallenge are:

These deer come to visit your trash bins, I suppose :)

We keep the trash in a tightly sealed bin because of all the other wildlife that is around. There is a lot of areas with trees around our house so they are native to this area.
Yes, you know how to handle trash and wildlife. I was half-joking with my remark because I know what are people doing in our country. They are keeping the trash accessible and then they wonder what is deer doing on their streets.
Or even worse, they keep the trash out by the forest edge to have an excuse to shoot the bears that are attracted by the smell.
They do that around here as well. Then the animals get so use to eating out of those peoples trash they forget how to forage for food on their own.
I noticed your profile states your are an IT pro. I am now retired but want to start learning some of the newer programming skills. 30 to 40 years ago, I learned Cobol, Fortran and some VBA but did not keep up with it. Where would you recommend I start to learn the languages or packages that are used most today for the blockchain or other uses?
I don't know about the blockchain specifically. Will have to look into it.
A good way to start is Udemy courses. I am planning to learn Angular and will start this course eventually -> https://www.udemy.com/course/angular-crash-course/
The other alley worth exploring is Python. I installed PyCharm and will take their EduCourses -> https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/
They are both a good start to learning technology and then applying it to blockchain programming. Hope it helps ...
Thanks for the tips, it helps a whole lot. I had downloaded a few free books about Python a few months ago but have never started looking at them. Now I can set a direction and see where it takes me. take care.
Great to hear that.
My first demo project would be to learn how to lazy-load json stream from some blockchain API and display it in a nice way. Then some filtering and sorting.
It is great to be alive and the #IAmAliveChallenge is a great way to show it! :)
