Chapter 1 How to make millions by doing nothing It was a Monday the third week in September of two thousand and six when I got laid off from my job in Missouri working in the cultivation department in the cannabis industry. The manager came in about thirty minutes after we all clocked in and standing in the doorway asked a single employee by name to come with him a second, after about ten minutes the manager returned. Again the manager asked for an employee by name and returned alone about ten minutes later to repeat the process again. On the fourth trip it was my name upon the manager’s lips, and I had a feeling that I was about to be let go of by the company. Leading me to the office my manager asked my to take a seat as…..

Note - fiction. Have not been here or done this. May not be real world trail. I’m making up imaginary landscape The Pieces That We Scatter. Part 1. Gary Dragging my right leg down the trail was excruciating with every forced move, yet if I stopped it would put me in more danger. Two days is all the difference in my life right now as it’s exactly two days until my next water. Trying not to let water or pain in my mind as I place my left foot on the hard packed New Mexico trail I continue on in my awkward turtle style. Lift, grimace, drag, repeat until these are the days of our lives. One may ask how the heck do you get into a situation like this and…….luck….really good luck. How lucky I was to see bighorn sheep, so close that while trying to make myself less visible kneeling down, I got a thorn punched into my smart water bottle. How lucky I was that when I stepped on what looked like solid ground it fell with my weight into a hidden animal den making me…..

THE Sativa FILES: Episode 1.0 Sitting down hard from exhaustion Angel inhaled sharply as the rough bark from the fallen walnut tree scraped her skin. With her soft breath out there were thin yet visible wisps of moisture hanging in the still air. A chill running through her spine with the realization of the temperature drop Angel unbuckled and shrugged off the hiking pack. Scooting her behind to access the pack she again scraped the unprotected skin of her leg as she turned and unzipped the top of her dark purple bag. Wincing she reached her hand inside and searched around before softly wrapping her fingers around a lumpy wool sock as Angel's face turned to a soft smile from the comforting feel. Pulling out the sock and carefully emptying it into her lap, Angel let the little green pebble spoon from Grav gently rest on her thigh. The days tension beginning to slip away with the ritual ahead already in mind. The light crinkle of the baggie filled with a fortune cookie strain…

Well i tried building a landing page or website. The website I found today was called base44 and it used artificial intelligence to help write code and design functions easily. Really cool and easy to use. The thing that made it frustrating and very unnecessary was the publish button to see what base44 had made. Soon as I hit publish it went public and then refused removal from public view without paying them to delete your original idea before someone steals it. I did greatly appreciate the layout of the site but will continue checking other options as I seek to build either a website, or preferably an app. The A.I. did confirm the idea is good and the math is correct. Yeah me! Sometimes it’s nice to have validation even if you know that the project is solid. Currently I know zilch about coding, that’s why I’m the idea guy. Learning quickly that I might need to wear many hats and learn new tricks to……

Well it’s my second note so that must mean I’m seriously going to put this out there and go through with it. Cool. Kewl kewl. …..hopefully you read my last note as I had literally left you doing dishes to riches and thinking about nothing. Ive never done anything like this and I’m unsure exactly how to proceed as I don’t want my idea stolen. Im aware of the risk of too much info up front so im going to try hard to go slow. Wanting to build something lasting and of value to the world. I’m going to try and research today possible start-up costs and all, even though i have no money yet. Research is usually a good starting point for most projects and im assuming this is no different and will give me a guide. So lets begin…….
