š What policy I'm adoptingĀ -Ā
- Friday was the 1st day of summer. And while dermatologist tell you to lather on the sunscreen, stay in the shade, and cover up, I'm following a different policy: "Sun's out, guns out." In fact, most people don't realize how dangerous it is to avoid the
sun (if you read/share one article this week, I'd make it this one).

š„© What domino fellĀ -Ā
- I got a WancleĀ Sous Vide which was the initial domino that fell. I rarely use pots, so I needed to buy a pot big enough for my meat. And since I don't like to use plastics (nonetheless cook in plastics) I bought some silicone bags to cook in. Then I needed a pot clamp to hold the silicone bags. After loading these all into my Amazon cart, I was in the buying mode and threw in a new Ozeri pan (a brand thatĀ doesn't use perfluorinated chemicals like APEO, PFOA, NMP and NEP). I researched and price-shopped for about
half a day, and I linked themĀ here if you're interested in sous vide cooking and going on a shopping spree. It is delicious.

š What we die from -Ā
- What the news reports about deaths and what we actually die from are worlds apart. It's one reason I talk about heart disease, cancer, and dementia so much. Which, by the way, are all reduced with more sunshine.

š„ What's a good death look likeĀ -
- Speaking of death, and not to be too dark today (I spent all week writing about sunshine for goodness sake!), but I found this doctor's take on the end of life worth a read. I do think about death a lot. Rather than finding it morbid, I find it one of the best ways to actually live.

š¦ What's trying a global central bankĀ -Ā

Ā ā¶Ā What video captivated meĀ -
- Over 10% of all internet time is spent on YouTubeĀ (together with Netflix they make up over 25%). This video shows the top 10 YouTube videos over time. TheĀ reach and influence of music is staggering. No wonder everyone was doing the Gangnam Style dance in 2016.
