@Willow, thank you for teaching me something! The Rockies are famous, and I have heard of the Appalachians too, but had no idea that as a result the land in between is a perfect nursery for twisters. I have also heard of what is known as Tornado Alley but just assumed that it was a fairly narrow north/south band of land not involving multiple states across. I know better now! Bushfires and floods are our go-to natural disasters here. Some of our fires are as savage as what California regularly experiences nowadays. I also live in a fairly active earthquake state, but they are generally small, often not felt, and nothing more than a curiosity. But we did have a magnitude 5.9 in 2021 up in the mountains which caused some damage in Melbourne 200km away. We seem to experience something between a 5.0 and 5.5 every few years but the epicenters are normally away from populated areas. Still big enough to give me the heebie-jeebies! One thing I learnt after a 5.4 we had in 2012, which was closer and felt stronger here than the 5.9, is that the Richter scale is logarithmic - a magnitude 5 is ten times stronger than a 4 and a 6 is ten times stronger than 5 and 100 times stronger than a 4. Scary! -

Good morning Another early summer ish day here. Sunny, humid and upper 80s° (curious to see what our editor does with the degree symbol). Our son and his wife are coming to visit next week! Yahoo! She has never visited us in SC and he hasn’t been here for a long time. But we live on opposite sides of the country. i do realize that it is hard to find some one to take care of their Lab and now you can add a young energetic lab puppy so it’s two. i got some work to do cleaning and making their bed for them. But they have a real bed. (Tell you about that another time) @Ivy we were one state once but split over our differences. But both are beautiful places to live and each made vital contributions to making this a country or group of United States against the King of England. Sorry the history that I never thought I liked is spewing out. coffee is good this morning. We went out to dinner last night. Our son sent us money I guess it was for Mother’s Day to have a nice dinner and we finally got around to it. She had seafood Mac and cheese (full of lobster, crab and shrimp) and I had all you can eat crab legs. My wife’s favorite nice restaurant is a place called the Claw House. Well, time to walk the dog. She is reminding me of that. She is a strange one. In the evening she will curl up by the front door, or on our bed. In the morning she curls up at the back door. But and night she spends most of the night either in a chair or on the floor in our bedroom. Basically, where ever she wants that’s where she is. As long as mommy is close by. willow -

Joy is not just a mere fleeting emotion – it triggers a host of significant physiological and psychological changes that can improve our physical and mental health. And, luckily for us, there are many easy things we can do each day in order to boost the amount we feel. Joy is very different from our other emotions. It relates to accomplishing something we’ve wanted for a long time – the outcome of which exceeds our expectations. Joy often refers to a broad sense of being satisfied with life that appears after experiencing a sense of awe or wonder. Many of us might better associate it with feeling “blessed”. While joy is experienced naturally, happiness is often pursued. Even the way we express joy is different from our other emotions. The smile it produces is different from how we might smile when we’re happy. Joy creates what’s known as a Duchenne smile – an involuntary, genuine smile that reaches our eyes. This type of smile is associated with a range of benefits, such as improvements in physical health, better recovery after illness, and stronger bonds with others. -

I wear caps in the warmer months much more often now that I can tie a ponytail and put it through the gap in the back of it! But even wearing a cap with my hair not tied up is a good way of controlling it. -

Did you know a member of Strawberry Alarm Clock and Lynyrd Skynard co-wrote Incense and Peppermint and Sweet Home Alabama? His name was Ed King. I still find it hard to believe he was in both groups when they hit it big. Paul Carrack sang in Ace, Mike & The Mechanics, and Squeeze on hits for all three. He also wrote "How Long", several Eagles songs and played in Roxy Music. Busy man.
