What is a source of unhappiness you can remove from your life today?

For me, it was getting my brake pads changed. Something I've been needing to do and it worried me every time I got in my car.

While I was in Breckenridge, #Colorado earlier this week, there was an overnight snowfall on the higher peaks. The lower trails remained clear of snow though, making for a nice #hiking experience with views of those peaks, on Segment 7 of the #ColoradoTrail.

Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.

The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
