PARQUE / PARC= “PARK” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 ! FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about a park. Not just any park but a National Park. Not just a National Park but Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone is the only National Park that I knew by name without having to verify.

In my words a National Park is a specific area of land that has been designated as “Public” land (meaning it belongs to all US citizens) and is protected and managed by the federal government (National Park Service) 🏕️

I have never been to this historic park and one day my intention is to visit and see for myself what is so understandably majestic about Yellowstone.

Here are some interesting facts about Yellowstone.

	1.	First National Park: Yellowstone, established in 1872, is the world’s first national park.
	2.	Supervolcano: The park sits atop a massive supervolcano, known as the Yellowstone Caldera, which last erupted approximately 640,000 years ago.
	3.	Geysers and Hot Springs: Yellowstone has more than 500 geysers—over half of the world’s total—including Old Faithful, which erupts roughly every 90 minutes.
	4.	Size: The park spans parts of three states: Wyoming (most of the park), Montana, and Idaho, covering about 3,472 square miles.
	5.	Wildlife Haven: Yellowstone is home to diverse wildlife, including bison, elk, grizzly bears, wolves, and bald eagles. It’s the only place in the U.S. where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times.
	6.	Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone: The park features its own stunning canyon, carved by the Yellowstone River, with dramatic waterfalls and colorful rock formations.
	7.	Thermal Features: Along with geysers, the park boasts mud pots, fumaroles, and hot springs, including the vibrant Grand Prismatic Spring, known for its rainbow-colored waters.
	8.	Historic Structures: The Old Faithful Inn, built in 1904, is one of the largest log structures in the world and a National Historic Landmark.
	9.	Frequent Earthquakes: Yellowstone experiences around 1,000 to 3,000 small earthquakes annually, most too small to be felt, due to its volcanic activity.
	10.	UNESCO World Heritage Site: Yellowstone was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978 for its geological and ecological significance.
UNESCO is the United Nations Education Science Communication Organization (without specifically mentioning UNESCO it has been a part of previous post and will be tomorrow’s post focus).

Today I have a post about something in music known as a “Remix”.

It was not something that was done for the MAJORity of music that has ever been recorded yet in the past few decades it has become increasingly popular.

Basically a remix is a version of a song that was previously recorded that uses parts of the original song along with additional new parts to the song (sometimes even the new parts are not original and are made up of parts from other songs and sounds from various recordings) and the result is a new recording usually with the original song title incorporated in the name of the new “record”.

Sometimes people like the remix more than the original even though if it was not for the original the remix would not exist.

I used to think a remix was an inferior version of an original song because more often than not I preferred the original over the remix and most importantly the creative process involved in making the original is doing the “heavy lifting” when it comes to the creation of the remix by incorporating most often the more memorable parts of the original.

I now think that the remix is a completely different song and was inspired by the original with a acknowledgement of appreciation by way of selecting the song to use as inspiration and not a shortcut.

Two things changed my mind and the first was when remixes became a thing the remix was done by someone other than the original recording artist. Now it is common for an artist to release a song that is accompanied by several remixes also created by the original artist or the original artist collaborating with whoever is doing the remix.

The other thing was I now have some remixes I prefer over the original and my favorite parts or part of the remix is the part or parts that were not present during the original recording that was created by the remix artist.

Do you have a song that you like that has been remixed? Is there a song you would like to see have a remix?

Here is an example of a song I love and also a remix of that song which I actually like more.

CIUDAD / VILLE= “CITY” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today’s post is about a city you know well, Grand Rapids❕

Grand Rapids has become one of my favorite cities for multiple reasons.

I like walking around downtown especially at night when the weather is nice. All the bridges are beautifully lit and there is a good amount of art and other cool things to look at while walking around. I also like the food scene 😋.

One of my favorite things about the city is it reminds me of you❕

Here are some interesting facts about Grand Rapids:

	1.	Furniture City – Grand Rapids is known as the “Furniture City” because of its historical significance as a major hub for furniture manufacturing. Even today, many top furniture companies, like Steelcase and Herman Miller, have roots in the area.
	2.Gerald R. Ford’s Hometown – Grand Rapids is the birthplace of Gerald R. Ford, the 38th President of the United States. His presidential museum and burial site are both located in the city.
	4.	ArtPrize Festival – Grand Rapids hosts ArtPrize, one of the world’s largest public art competitions, attracting artists and visitors from around the globe.
	5.	The Grand River – The city is named after the Grand River, Michigan’s longest river. Efforts are underway to restore its historic rapids. (Nice❕)
	6.	Medical Innovation Hub – The city has a growing reputation in the healthcare industry, with top-tier medical research and hospitals like Spectrum Health and the Van Andel Institute.
	7.	First City to Fluoridate Water – In 1945, Grand Rapids became the first city in the world to add fluoride to its drinking water to help prevent tooth decay.
	8.	Close to Lake Michigan – While not directly on the lake, Grand Rapids is only about 30 miles from Lake Michigan, making it a great spot for beach lovers.

I like how the Grand River connects Lansing and Grand Rapids because it is the same river but different vibes when walking alongside it.

ARTISTA / ARTISTE = “ARTIST” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about some of the recent post with the pictures of cartoon wolves doing things that were mentioned in the post.

As you know I include an image of sone kind (most often a GIF) and recently I have been going with the theme being myself as a wolf doing things that were mentioned in the post that includes the image.

If you are curious how I have been doing this the answer is I have been collaborating with A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) to create these images. I enter in a specific description that I believe captures the essence of the post and an image is created that with a surprisingly high rate of satisfaction.

I normally search through a GIF library or search images with a search engine but if I do not have a real world photo I took myself (my favorite type of image to include) the collaboration method has recently been my “go to”.

The resulting image through the collaboration is in my opinion art. Although I did not create the image entirely myself, if you imagine the AI as a tool like a pencil it is similar that my hand still made it yet without the pencil my hand would not have been able to draw on its own.

The thing that is different with AI and a pencil with the above example is the pencil will only do what you make it do and the AI has a contribution to the creative aspect of the artistic process.

If I have an idea in mind of an image I want to include that summarizes the post with a theme and certain details I want to be present I use specific wording entered into the AI input and an image is created that I may use.

If I have an idea of something extremely specific I would create the image on my own through various methods.

When the idea is not extremely specific I have been having fun collaborating as a way of providing custom content to our blog.

The following “message” was used to create the image below: Create an image of a werewolf collaborating with AI to create custom artwork for a blog he has for communicating to his kids

CARNE / VIANDE = “MEAT” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I took on the “Carnivore Challenge” at Meat BBQ in Lansing, Michigan.

A carnivore is an animal that eats only meat. Animals like the Orca (Killer Whale), Komodo Dragon, Trapdoor Spider, Leopard Seal and Peregrine Falcon are carnivores.

The challenge weighs in at somewhere between 7-8 pounds of total weight❕

You win the challenge by completing the meal in 45 minutes or less and if you win the meal is free and you get a T Shirt as a trophy and have your picture taken and placed on the wall of victors.

I completed the first half of the meal which was a “side dish” of macaroni and cheese that you can add 2 types of meat. I chose double spicy jalapeño cheddar sausage. I said “side dish” with quotes because it could EASILY feed two hungry people and weighed around 3 pounds.

Once the mac and cheese was in me I was already 20 mins into the challenge. I thought I was closer to the 10 minute mark and after hearing I was already nearly halfway done with my time I still had a side of fries and then the star of the show the “Boss Log”. The Boss Log is a roughly 3-4 pound “Burger” that has bacon, turkey, pulled pork, brisket, onion rings and 3 types of cheese with a spicy mustard sauce.

I decided I was if I was to attempt to finish the challenge I would need to eat faster but I was already eating as fast aa I could while being safe not to choke.

I ended up getting the rest to go. A wise move and now I can enjoy the rest of my dinner over the course of the next 2 days lol.

Here is a pic. Enjoy.

I LOVE YOU 💓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today’s post is a recap on last night’s Super Bowl game.

The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 42-20 in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Jalen Hurt was the Super Bowl MVP (Most Valuable Player).

The Eagles defense, specifically the defensive line, was the star of the show with 6 sacks, 2 interceptions and a Pick 6 (Interception returned for a touchdown).

I was rooting for the Chiefs but it was still a fun watch with many exciting plays.

I hope this time next year to be recapping a Lions Super Bowl victory.

I made nachos and a salad in addition to ordering smoked wings and some leftover pizza 😋

Great season overall with the Lions having their best regular season ever and a fun day to wrap up the 2024-2025 NFL season.

RÉCORD PERSONAL = “PERSONAL RECORD” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about something I like to achieve as often as possible without pressure to do so and that is a “PR” or Personal Record. 🏆

You know I am a fan of streaks aka consecutive continual success. Another thing that can happen with or without the presence of a streak is a personal best or personal record. Sometimes a “PR” for me involves the streak itself like my current streak with the language learning app DUOLINGO which is currently at 280 days 😎

Last month I had a PR with the amount of interest I made from a savings account that was a little more than $5 (it might not sound like a lot but I am happy about it for several reasons). 🤑

Last night I hit a PR in the game “Marvel Rivals” by reaching the gold tier in the competitive league. 🦹🦹‍♀️🦹‍♂️

You may have notice that these recent PRs are not anything special but to me they are special because it represents commitment, hard work, learning from mistakes and executing a plan with the possibility to continue success with my goals and in some cases each day celebrate a new PR. ⚡️

Some PRs are more meaningful than others for example my handwritten letters to you that reached nearly 200 consecutive days (one of my all time favorite PRs) 💌

By the way, I am currently beginning the process of creating an app I am developing for streaks and I just now in this moment thought it would be cool to incorporate PRs, more on the app in a future post. 🧑🏻‍💻

What might be something you would like to see become a personal best❓

INFORMACIÓN = “INFORMATION” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about checking your sources and cross referencing your trusted sources.

First of all I think it is a good idea to get your information with respect to current events and factual information like “STEAM” facts from a trusted source.

A trusted source for me is a source that is rarely if not ever wrong. Overtime preferably above 90% and ideally over 99%. Even a trusted source can be wrong from time to time and I am a fan of when the source acknowledges this and updates the incorrect information with the correct information.

Once you have at least 2 trusted sources if you really want to be sure you are getting the most accurate and up to date information you can obtain from a trusted source, double check your second trusted source and if they are both providing the same information you can be confident you have done your due diligence while still knowing there is a possibility (very small chance when double checking) the information is incorrect.

When getting information from a new source you can check the credibility of that source but your own trusted sources should outweigh a reputation provided by another.

One more thing, your opinion and your source is not worth defending. Your beliefs however are always worth defending.
