  85. @Airbnb AirBnB is not a hotel, and I make sure all potential guests are a good fit for my property. Not everyone is - and the only way I vet that is by dialoging with them.

  147. Morning hypnogogic thought: the cash only folks I deal with in the Mojave Desert would *never* use #bitcoin. It's not a digital cash replacement. Don't see cash cash is not going away for them anytime soon.

  148. These are folks who live on the edge of institutionally finance. For various reasons (some nefarious and some not) they don't want/can't be to be tracked financially.

    December 22, 2017

  162. So I got some shitty news about my canine partner in crime yesterday. I knew his time was coming, but that doesn't make facing the day any easier.

    December 22, 2017

  163. I'm grateful for our decade+ of amazing times. He's been my co-pilot on so many adventures. But I've have to make some hard decisions...

    December 22, 2017 · reply to @heathervescent

  164. He still has time left... I want them to be good months for him. So I've decided for the shorter term improvements. (Honestly, what is the difference between 3 vs 12 months in the scheme of a decade+ of amazing years? I don't need to be greedy.)

    December 22, 2017 · reply to @heathervescent

  165. Part of the difficulty of the decision was being realistic about what I am capable of. I'm a single woman, and I have limited resources/time. That makes some aspects of the decision hard.
