The Palos Verdes Flower Clock Rolling Hills Estates, CA USA Video taken 10/08/2026 This enchanting flower clock was donated and dedicated to the city of Palos Verdes on April 21, 1987 by Michel Medawar and his family. He was a master clockmaker with a lucrative and profitable business in Lebanon where he made and installed the world’s first talking flower clock in 1969. Eventually, tens of thousands would gather on Lebanese Independence Day to listen to the clock play out the Lebanese National Anthem. But the war in Lebanon in the 70s was escalating and he ultimately decided to emigrate with his family to the United States. His story is captured lovingly in an interview with his son below. https://easyreadernews.com/turn-turn-turn-to-every-thing-there-is-a-season-and-a-time-to-every-purpose-under-the-heaven

What’s the first thing to do after being liberated from the hospital? You guessed it - shopping at Costco! Replenished supplies and have 2 months’ worth of chicken now 🐓🍗 Allergy season so spent $35 on a whole bunch of Claritin. A pineapple here, a couple of cantaloupe there and it all adds up to the egregiously lugubrious sum of $178 USD. But wait, there’s more - a large pep pizza for dinner. 🍕

I’ve been a dau on Farcaster for over 2 years. Before this, I was completely oblivious to the blockchain and decentralized social media. Long had I been disenfranchised by traditional social media to the point where I hadn’t logged into any of them for years. It was a simple Coinbase quest that got me here. The airdrops did keep me around at first, but they eventually dwindled and went away. I’ve come to realize that I’m here because of the people and the fascinating things they were/are working on. Truly though, I was a total noob. I tried to do that whole Satoshi’s Secret thing where you had to answer 10 increasingly difficult questions. It took hours of research for me to even understand the questions and hours more for me to be able to answer some of them. Back then, Internet money was flying everywhere on Farcaster and it was dizzying. I was dazed at my increasing wallet balance for doing pretty much nothing. Except I was doing something - I was meeting new people and learning every day as Farcaster just keep iterating and getting better. I had to ask @nounishprof what a DAO was at FarCon in Venice. She laughed and then realized I was serious. That’s how much of a noob I was. 🤣 I joined every channel when they were first introduced. I tipped warps. I was also one of the very fortunate people who received the initial $HIGHER allocation. My allocation was valued in the hundreds right away over the next several days, it was valued in the thousands. By sometime in March 2024, that initial HIGHER allocation was worth tens of thousands of dollars. I still remember opening my wallet and seeing my higher alloc valued at $74,000+. This was my first genuine moonshot before I even knew what that was or meant. This was an aberration of the highest magnitude, to the likes I’ve never seen in my life. I showed my wife and she didn’t believe me. She called it fake internet money. Well, shockingly, I actually took some profits by swapping $10,000 for ETH. This was used to support devs buidling on Farcaster. At the time, @corbin.eth was buidling King of the Degens and I was very happy to support this. Over the years, I’ve supported many other projects on Farcaster and plan to continue doing so through /betr 😎

Today, I was introduced to some kind of wonderful at a birthday party for a friend of my daughter’s. Her dad is an excellent cook and he said he’d been smoking Tomahawk Rib-Eye Steak and put them on the bbq grill. I’ve never had rib-eye like this before. It was tender, succulent, smoky perfection. No need to coerce anyone at the party to try it as we were all enamored carnivores. One of the dads requested the bone. 🦴🥩 If you’re a meat eater and haven’t tried Tomahawk rib-eye steak, I highly recommend it!

Dinner tonight at casa de Jerry’s: Sicilian deep dish pizza 🍕 It’s always a point of contention within the family ranks that we broach on at least a weekly basis. Some like thin crust with easy sauce, others like thick crust loaded up with toppings. Going into this weekend, the thick crusters secured the win. 😄🤤
