Awesome! I think those already subscribed got the whole Enchilada. Hopefully it was only the social media links I posted for those who aren't subscribers (but should be ;) got.

Jack - just an FYI

You know your avatar with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth is really not a good look in an age when we all know the dangers of smoking and nicotine addiction

I get it - it’s a badass look - but maybe you will understand where I’m coming from if I told you I lost my wife of 47 years from lung complications due to smoking all her life - smoking is damaging your health

We all know that. But it's a great image.

It was that image that drew me in. Face of the opposition?

It evokes the Hollywood hero’s of the past. The tough hero that may get beaten up a bit but then rises to do in the bad guy. The super smart detective taking on the cases that seem hopeless (Humphrey Bogart) or the no name cowboy drifter that comes in to town (think Clint Eastwood). We all do understand that smoking is bad for you.

Well if the goal is to portray a cowboy drifter - then you nailed it 😎

Thank you, Jack! It’s so important to verify before sharing, so I’m glad you mentioned that in Number 48. I have friends who share reels they’ve seen on Instagram, without first checking to be sure they’re correct. Often they’re just rumors.

I could not figure out how to print this so I am handwriting it into a journal. It will take me a while and I will remember it better. Thanks, Jack!

Out of all this fabulous content. . .

I’m sorry about your wife,JMcKay, truly I am. Cancer is a vile opponent, as you know all too well.

Jack is a grown ass man with a discerning mind and a fierce heart for what is right. I’m sure he had his reasons for choosing that particular image. If it draws interest to his project, perhaps it’s doing more for “good” than we know.

Art as used to promote interest is everywhere.

We make our choices and deal with the consequences.

Perhaps you might consider this viewpoint, as well, and I absolutely hear what you’re saying. We want him to live long and prosper!
