**journal-item January 1, 2024 It is a new year and today I decided to start keeping a diary. Some may imagine that life is pretty boring here in Bedrock, but my family and friends make sure life is NEVER boring! As today is a Monday, I'm off to work at the quarry. I work there everyday until 5pm. Despite it being physical work, I do enjoy it. I was happy to play with Dino after work. **journal-item January 3, 2024 Ok, keeping a diary is something I'll need to get used to. It seems I missed yesterday, but I'm still here. It is mid-week and I'm finally jotting down my notes this Wednesday evening. Barney and I just got back from our Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes meeting. Barney is running for Vice President this year and I fully support him. **journal-item January 6, 2024 Ahh... the weekend is finally here. I've been so busy (and well... I guess I simply forgot as well) to enter my thoughts into my daily journal. Off to the drive in movie tonight. **journal-item January 7, 2024 The weekends always go so fast. Family & friends continue to be the thing I spend my time on. I'm thinking I need a new hobby, too. **journal-item January 8, 2024 I have decided to try sending & receiving postcards as a new hobby. I found this website called Postcrossings that looks pretty interesting. The site says that over 800,000 people enjoy this hobby. Postcrossers, that's what these hobbyists are called, have sent over 78 million postcards so far. **journal-item January 9, 2024 I was able to send 3 postcards today to people the system provided addresses to me for. This really is the hobby for me. **journal-item January 10, 2024 Fun Thursday night getting 2 more postcards in the mail. I am loving this hobby even though Wilma thinks I'm nuts. **journal-item January 14, 2024 I went hiking over the weekend for one of my existing hobbies; waterfall viewing. I saw two of the largest ones in Bedrock; Big Falls and Prettybig Falls. I was even able to buy a few postcards at the gift shop. **journal-item January 15, 2024 I had so much fun looking at waterfalls that I visited the artificial one we have at the mall; Shopping Shoal. Silly name, but I did find out that shoals were usually rocks in rough water that paddlers enjoy traversing through. **journal-item January 15, 2024 This was a second journal entry for Jan 15. It shows some extra spacing that can be cleaned up. **journal-item January 16, 2024 Woke up, fell out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup and looking up, I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat. Made the bus in seconds flat. Found my way upstairs and had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream. **journal-item January 17, 2024 Woke up, fell out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head.
