Another beautiful Sunday here in sunny southern California, I'm just enjoying another cup of coffee while I get this post rolling for the day. Today I'm not drinking gourmet coffee, instead it's Cafe Bustelo. It's expresso that I used to drink a lot in parts of South America, but it tastes pretty good for budget expresso. Some of the best coffee comes from Yauco, Puerto Rico (which I wish I had at the moment,) that's pretty much all I drank coffee wise when I lived on the island. Just ask @davedickeyyall , he stocks up every time he heads to his home down there.
This past week for the giveaway the question I posed was: What three items would you bring with you to a desert island? I got some great answers and even inspired a full post on the subject from my friend @coolmidwestguy who's part of Team USA on discord! I'll include a link to check it out below, it's a great post! I did get some great answers overall, the most popular item being fresh water, a desalinator, or a water purifier, a great choice since you can't live long without it.
I liked @ironshield 's answer:
I would bring my wife, 100 years supply of food, and a download from the matrix on how to transform a desert island into a highly profitable pleasure island compete with airport and docks for cruise ships.
Now that's using the old noggin!
Here's the link to @coolmidwestguy 's post:
Other popular answers were satellite phones, significant others, fishnets, solar panels, fire starters, and harpoon! You guys did great, and fun answers to read. Hopefully none of us ever end up in that situation!
Moving on to today's contest...
If you could choose one place in the world to live, where would it be and why?
I think for me it would have to be on a nice, quiet Caribbean island. It's a beautiful place to live. Now if I could choose three: June, July, and August in Wyoming, November, December, and January in Southern Chile or Argentina (because it's summer there at that time of year,) and the remaining months in the Caribbean. One can dream can't they?
If you feel like doing three like I just did please feel free!
The Giveaway
I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:
Djinn Oshannus, he's still up for grabs, no recent winners have chosen him so he's still here!
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:
@hiveborgminer
@kungfukid
@stekene
@elizabethbit
How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one: If you could choose one place in the world to live, where would it be and why? Since I did three feel free to do the same if you feel like it!
HSBI
If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday August 4, 2024 at 12 PM California Pacific Time.
Now to choose last week's lucky winners!
And the first spin!
Congratulations @circlebubble you have won 5 HSBI!

Congratulations @tonybad , you have won your choice of one HSBI unit or the legendary Splinterlands card Djinn Oshannus! Just let me know which you prefer and I'll get in sent off!
And for Futurama fans, tomorrow starts a new season on Hulu. Just for laughs (we all need more of those!) here's a funny Futurama clip:
That will just about wrap up the contest for this Sunday. Congratulations to the winners! I want to thank everyone for their support, without it I wouldn't be able to give out these prizes to help fellow Hive members. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Have a great remainder of the weekend!
And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!
