Stacey Abrams is trending right now for saying, "There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body." Though she's been called deranged, NPR reported almost the exact statements a year ago. Here are some of my thoughts. Let me know what you think about it all. Also, editorial board will meet tomorrow - time TBD. Thanks for your support!
We are a brand new rodeo family and had never heard of mutton bustin’ until a few months ago. Kids aged 6 or younger try to ride a sheep as a precursor to bull riding. Most kids fall off within a second or two. The kid at the end of this video is going pro, mark my words. He is 6 and his parents tell me he already wants to ride bulls.
The chicken coop took flight again. We have had some Arctic weather blast through Florida and it was windy for a few hours. I did not think it was windy enough to send the chicken coop airborne but, Lily came running inside saying the hens were loose, and sure enough, they had “flown the coop” when the coop flew. This happened last April during an afternoon storm. It really doesn’t make sense to ratchet the coop down everyday, it would take so much extra time moving it. Just one of those things you have to think about when you decide to do a mobile chicken coop.
A couple months ago I was doing a cold plunge, and because I was doing a video about it, I was not paying attention to my breathing when I got in. Within seconds, I felt pressure over my right eye like I was about to get a bad headache. It went away within a few hours, but I started looking into cold plunge and stress. I have read that the practice is somewhat controversial. My takeaway has been that cold water should be used as a practice for learning to overcome your sympathetic nervous system and engage your parasympathetic response. It can work against you if you go into the water stressed and disregard your breath. What do you all think? What have you heard about this? Anyway this is my new cold plunge set up, thanks to my parents for the Christmas present!
