My Grandma, the eternal eclectic, had lived in Southern California since she was a young teenager. Growing up a farm girl in rural Colorado, her early years spent in an old one room schoolhouse, I can only imagine the culture shock it must have been starting high school in Long Beach. Yet she fit in immediately. Even on the farm, she had always had the heart of an artist. All the flair and eccentricity to make it as a Golden Era Hollywood actress. Luckily for me, she chose to be a full time Mom instead.

2009 The Afghan National Army base at the end of the Darulaman Road was as neat and well maintained as any site in a country broken by the devastation of war. The feeling of pride of place and the positive attitude of the personnel working there was pleasantly palpable. It was just so very different from most places in the careworn nation.

The bright morning sun lit up the new snow as if it was illuminated deep within each snowflake, all combining their light. The sky was clear and brilliant in blue. The air stings my face, but at the same time, fills my lungs with crisp, pure air, settling into the deepest part of my core. I look to the top of the hills on each side of me, feeling protected and safe within the valley's confines. The gleaming snow seems to light the woods that surround me from within. As I make my way up the snow-covered path, the blue sky breaks above. The bare, dark tree limbs seem to come together against the topaz blue sky, and the stained glass cathedral before me opens up. The snow crunches underneath my feet as I walk deeper into the hidden inner sanctum that seems to call for me. The air still stings my face, but as I walk into a clearing, I pass through a warm, bright spot that makes me look up and acknowledge the sun, appreciating it for the warmth and light it brings.

I’m from Upstate New York, the southern central part along the Pennsylvania border. The very first memories I have of my valley are the rolling hills that surround it, and the trees that cover them. They form a delicate wood filled with lush green undergrowth and several varieties of endearing little animals who inhabit it. And at home, my mother’s large garden produced an abundance of vegetables and flowers which kept both our bodies and souls fed.

Thank goodness for Disney+ and the Marvel Universe. Without that franchise, my husband and I would seldom watch TV together.

Imagine taking something smaller than your fingernail, planting it in soil, watering it, and watching as the first signs of a tiny green shoot break the surface. You watch it grow almost indiscernibly each day. One day you realize the tiny seed you planted has turned into a 6-foot sunflower. It’s awe-inspiring to see the growth of a plant and support it to reach its full potential. Of course, you can never own a plant; they belong to the birds and bees and the sun. But you can nurture it and tend it and enjoy the beauty that it creates.

The broad who comes in about quarter to six has short blonde hair and this scar that runs all around her right thigh, puncture marks dotted in the shape of a massive crescent, and I know immediately that it’s a bite mark. And I made it.
Logan SmithPublished 3 years ago in EarthHow long can people live in a real world?
If you can only reach 105, the survival probability seems to have a 50/50 level each consecutive year of life. This is broadly agreed upon by many scientists. One of the eldest controversies in the longevity study nevertheless is if this statistic curiosity indicates a real "mortality plateau," which means that the time one of us may hang around is almost unlimited.

As a writer and all-around marketing enthusiast, I am fairly new to the solar industry, and certainly no expert on renewable energy. However, I do know a thing or two about communication and information. In the time that I have now been working as a writer and marketing manager within the solar industry, I have had the opportunity to do quite a bit of research and discovery in the field. Initially joining the solar business, I was all in favor of the green energy movement and had positive opinions on all sources of renewable energy, and often cite the large list of benefits of cleaner, alternative sources of power. So I found it quite surprising when I noticed a lot of mixed reviews from potential customers when discussing the idea of switching to solar. Some people had really tainted and negative opinions on the industry and many were referencing the 2020 Michael Moore film documentary, 'Planet of the Humans' as the basis of the “scam” that they claimed renewable energy was. Therefore, It was pretty obvious that I needed to include watching this film as an integral part of my industry and marketing research.
