Even daily when I sit down to eat supper I feel like I just started my day. I try to make sure I do one specific thing every day that I really enjoy, even if it's just spending 10 minutes watching the birds in my yard and listening for the hummingbirds to come to the feeder.
I feel this also, and in always freaking tired. It's like damn I really just can't get enough sleep.
Life used to be like a country road. Now it's a Formula 1 street circuit.
So last week, we decided to drain and clean the hot tub.. Bought all new filters and some shell polish and cleaner. Got it all drained and cleaned, looks brand new again.. So I took the garden hose and filled it back up, ran the jets, waterfall and all that good stuff and the temperature read 84 degrees. Usually takes a few days to get back to my normal 104-105 degrees, so I figured I'd have some good days to dip in cooler temps.. Now I can of course, turn down the temp on the hot tub, so I did, to try to compensate for the hotter temps coming in the summer. So I set it to about 92 degrees..
(I never bothered try to to turn it the temp down so much)
So the next day, I go to get in the hot tub, expecting maybe somewhere in the upper 90's, and my LCD panel is reading "Summer Mode".. Come to find out, I have a function that auto reads steady temps and switches heating modes. So now, in the summer months, I can turn that thing down to a nice 85-90 degrees..
Just got out not too long ago and it was reading 88 degrees. Absolutely perfect! Feels so good when it's hot outside! Felt like cool swimming pool temps..
I recommend getting one if you can..
Life changing!!
Celebrating with that new Ric Flair Drip strain..

Are you a subscriber to the Financial Times? Most of us are not.
No, I'm not a subscriber. I got the whole article. But now, I'm locked out of it, too. Sorry about that. It was on Google News, and I read the whole thing.

If you clear cache and try to read it again, it should let you. A lot of the sites with paywalls operate that way. You almost get somewhat of a 'free trial article', and once you try to read another article, they take it away and have their hand out.. Clearing cache usually prevents that, but it can be a huge pain in the [BLEEP]..
A little "hack" that works for some sites, especially news sites with a paywall.
Copy the title of the article and paste it into the Google search page. The first result will usually give you the whole article.
The site won't put up the "paywall" stuff if the "visitor" is Google or some other search engine.

...Verdi supposedly said that you can have the universe if he could keep Italy. You can have the internet if I can keep YouTube. It has a greater trove of content than Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime combined and squared. It enfolds high and low culture with the promiscuity of a Clive James essay...
Thank you, Janan Ganesh. What a fantastically well written article.
The wife made Summer Peach Glazed pork chops tonight with Ginger Peach Chutney..

These truths we hold to be self-evident.
Sometimes I watch those stupid driver/road rage videos on YouTube and like always, it quickly becomes apparent that a majority of the stupid drivers are the ones who are recording.
