If you’re intimidated by weight training, a new study is full of reassurance.

Mounting evidence suggests that heavy weights are overrated; almost any kind of lifting led to increased muscle and strength, the study found. https://wapo.st/4rnlEhU

A 30-gallon stoneware crock sat in the corner of Lois Jurgens’s back porch for nearly three decades.

This month, that same crock sold at auction for $32,000.
She planned to sell her old pot for $20. It just fetched $32K at auction.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” said Lois Jurgens, who turned 91 the day the crock was sold. “It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever gotten on my birthday.”
