There was no order, there was nobody being polite about it… People were just trying to shove their way through.’ The website AllTrails describes Artist's Bluff as a ‘moderately challenging’ 1.5-mile loop. But Breau said many visitors were not dressed appropriately for hiking, with some wearing ‘slippers, short shorts, and go-go boots.’” [// CBS News »]( [/style] [Dynamite - Your clothes should work as hard as you | [Partner]]( [Your clothes should work as hard as you]( If you’ve ever spent more than five seconds staring at your closest saying, “I don’t have anything to wear!”, this is for you.

Her results were concerning. At the conclusion of the study, published this year, Li and colleagues found that not only do artificial lights at night cause what they consider ‘anxiety-like’ behavior in zebrafish, this behavior is passed down to their offspring, even when the offspring are born into an environment with natural light regimes.” [// Nautilus »]( [/digital] [StackSocial - Outsmart your PC?

The concept predates not just experiments of nearly a decade ago, but the internet age, too. In fact, George Washington’s printed eggnog recipe in an Old Farmer’s Almanac specifically instructs aging it in a cool place for ‘several days.’ I’ve come here to convince you that this year, you should make more — much more — eggnog than is reasonable for one household and then age it. For a few days, weeks, months — even years.” [// Punch »]( [/bites] [// The best jobs are the ones where you don’t have to leave the house — or even put in any effort — to make money.
