the older i get the more i realize how simple a good life really is. wake up early. lift 3x a week. walk 30 minutes a day. eat real food. drink water. sleep well. read. obsess over something that matters. spend time with loved ones. avoid drama. be grateful. you’ll already be healthier and happier than 95% of people.

People who grew up on an on-demand world can never understand what Bob Barker meant to those of use who experienced sick days home from school in the era of linear television and no broadband. – at Bangor, ME

Indeed they are. Here’s a Derecho Climatology from SPC. Derechos for the High Plains are rare. #cowx
Today’s Colorado windstorm was likely a derecho- a very rare, prolonged/widespread/strong wind event for the Front Range.

The SVR warning for the I-25 corridor just beat out the previous warning for the largest in area issued by BOU (also beats any warning issued by GJT and PUB) #COwx @MattMakens @BrianBledsoe @ChrisCBS4 @BianchiWeather mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/co…

We sent dozens of photographers to capture once-bustling public places around the world – beaches, fairgrounds, restaurants, movie theaters, tourist spots and train stations – that are now empty amid the coronavirus pandemic nyti.ms/2J8oIeD

A frozen, frosty, foggy #Colorado Front Range this morning. Quite a beautiful scene after the fog began to ease. Lots of social distance here too! ;-) #cowx #coweather #landscape #landscapephotography @MattMakens

GOOD NEWS! National Parks are free until further notice! The Secretary of the Interior has just ordered entrance fees be waived during COVID-19. "This small step makes it a little easier for the American public to enjoy the outdoors" - @NatlParkService

A crisis can be a switching point for societies. Let the neoliberal age of excessive individualism and competition come to an end, and let's inaugurate a new age of solidarity and connection. nytimes.com/2020/03/14/opini…

Be kind. To strangers. To family. To friends. To coworkers. To people who are scared. To people who are not. That chaos you’re seeing right now. They’re seeing it too. Be kind. If only because it beats the alternative.

Because it will help protect from the outbreak, it’s a good idea to spend more time at home with your family, eat out less, keep necessary supplies, and wash your hands. Because it will make you happier and healthier, it’s a good idea to continue doing those things indefinitely.

To some they are cute, cuddly and loveable. But according to the man who created them, they are "Frankenstein's monster"🐶 bbc.in/2mJcn8w
