We went to the town south of us to get groceries and dinner tonight. We normally can't go grocery shopping on Fridays because my husband works nights, but he had tonight off for the 4th of July holiday. On our way there, there was...

Ali Canary @sissy15 yes, the steaminess can be an unwelcome side effect. When I left my friend's air-conditioned house on Thursday evening, it was like stepping into soup.

Ali Canary Those are much sleeker-looking than I would have thought, but I didn't know they were Jaguars, so that explains it. I don't trust the self-driving Teslas, but I might ride in a Waymo. Did you know that people play pranks on them by trapping them between...

It was 100 degrees F (38C) here yesterday, and it will be again today. Tomorrow it will be 99, which isn't any different. I looked at the 10-day forecast, and the temps were in the 90s every single day. The worst part is that it...

Ali Canary @JudyEv it was nice, but our guests would get awakened by our grandfather clock, whose Westminster chimes rang on each quarter hour. We tuned it out, though. That clock was awesome.

Ali Canary @JudyEv pretty much the way it happened all over the globe - Europeans pushed out the native peoples and marginalized the ones they didn't outright slaughter.

Ali Canary @sol_cee well, I guess he just wasn't very good at riding a bike. He was really mortified - I couldn't be mad.

Ali Canary @JudyEv I lived in an old house (1920s) with no AC, but we had one of those huge whole-house fans, so we had that running in the attic at night with all our bedroom doors and windows open. It pulled a great breeze through the rooms.

Ali Canary Yes, cities can be quite a heat trap because of all the concrete. I remember sweltering in Philadelphia! At least there is usually a good breeze.

Ali Canary One thing to remember is the "bad news bias". The news knows that they will get more engagement if they report things that are shocking and unusual, which gives people the impression that things generally ARE shocking and unusual. Just remember, if something...

Ali Canary Oh, music helps SO much! Both with chores and also when I do artwork. The only thing I don't want it for is when I read (then it's distracting).

Everyone is unique and responds to life’s ups and downs in their own way. Just like a musical instrument can go out of tune if it isn’t taken care of, we can sometimes lose touch with ourselves when things get stressful. It’s...

Ali Canary I think that's a very good point - that stress isn't a condition, it's a reaction. Hopefully to something we can change!

Ali Canary We're on our third day of 100+ temps here, but that's certainly not unheard of for North Carolina in July. We might get a little rain later in the evening, but I don't think any major storm.

Ali Canary How odd that they could KEEP him at all without a veterinarian. I feel sorry for the indigenous children who were stolen away from their parents. We had something like that here, too ("Indian schools"). It's disgusting and cruel.
