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...

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...

Who would "support" this insanity ?

Gayle Harrelson @2ndchances24 (12353) • Cloverdale, Indiana 4 Jul

The more I get why people don't listen to the news the more It blows my mind of what I hear that a lot of people are missing. I got to say, I get why people don't listen to a lot of news, there was a few years back that's all I...

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).

Getting to Know Myself

Neil @Neil43 (4530) 4 Jul

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!

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169844) • United States 4 Jul

Bob sleeps through it all. No rain, yet. It probably is coming. It could rain all day, clear up tonight for those who have big displays, and I would be happy. Many of us have complained about the heat, but it has not reached 100...

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.

The emu and the marbles

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383958) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Jul

From time to time, Perth Library publishes oral histories on their Facebook page. A recent one told the story of a person who was taken from her indigenous mother, making her one of the ‘stolen generation’. These children were...

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.

Happy 250th Birthday America!

snowy @snowy22315 (210118) • United States 4 Jul

59 days until Sept. 1. One thing that is cool about today is that ABC is broadcasting 4th of July events and profiling stories happening all over the country today. It is a 24 hour broadcast, which has never been done before....

Ali Canary My friends are having a house party, so I will probably be going there. We also have some rain possible, so between the heat and the potential rain, I think we will be partying inside the house, instead of on their deck.

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (72) • United States 4 Jul

Ali Canary What a cool concept! The thing about the people being about to die is a neat twist. That will allow them to keep using new actors, as well.

Ali Canary He'll be okay with the window. Even if you have him in an enclosed run, he could pick up things outside like fleas and ticks. My cats have always been happy indoors. They know they're safe!
