I wear mostly the same clothes too from 15 years ago I'd agree synthetic is more common nowadays? Shirts, underwear, hoodies, jackets, relzed fit stretchy pants/trousers all seem to be something just not cotton anyway.

Also the changing of the point goose one guy takes over the lead falls to the back and one of the two of the V behind the main goose takes over. And they never shut up, plus they are so loud. They're talking about something.

Quite a few geese are flying over me each day now. I've convinced myself they are saying to each other "left..left..OK straight...right a bit...OK". I'm a amazed at how precise they can be (an sometimes not) like they al

My guess is blue zones are countries that have good social programs and medical systems. Also helpful are regions where the environment isn't going to kill you.

I think lobsters was a big part of that. The lobsters used to be in the waters near shorelines supposedly. Even recently i.e. early 1900s before lobster was popular I've heard farmers would gather them on beaches and use them for ferti

In my region the local First Nations people, Mi'Kmaq, teach it to students in local schools. One school made a garden and planted the corn, beans, squash. So at least here it's been talked about. I think they are, rightly, proud o
