The business section of the CNN website has a ‘Fear and Greed’ index which tries to estimate which of those two emotion is driving the stock market. It ranges from 1 to 100 - the lower the number, the more fearful investors are.

It’s currently at 4.

You know those birds that wander in and out of crocodiles’ mouths, cleaning the teeth? Not a thing (a myth started by Herodotus, who should have known better).

Additionally, those birds are called Egyptian plovers, and they don’t live in Egypt.

The Aztecs had playpens, of a sort. They were essentially a square hole in the ground deep enough that a child couldn’t climb out. Much like modern playpens, they were used so mum could get on with her work without worrying over the child’s safety.

I found out that the school that made my childhood a living Hell has turned into a homeless center. Not sure what to think about that.

In fairness, it’s actually nice to see it being put to a use that’s actually helping people, even if the old church is still apparently connected with it.

My new guitar has no zero level on the volume control. That's even better than an amp that goes to 11! Big Grin
