A Case for Outdoor Life Outdoor lifestyles are healthier lifestyles not only physically, but mentally. Here we will delve into some of the more subtle benefits of spending time in nature. This is not, by any means, a comprehensive list, but I will cover several physiological and mental advantages that nature can provide. Many people often get stuck in that daily grind of working, eating, sleeping, and repeating. I think taking some time away from that seemingly never-ending cycle makes all of the difference. What better place to do it than the great outdoors?

Here are the most interesting discoveries made by humans during their almost 20-year stay aboard the ISS.
The Earth ceased to be the sole place in the universe that people could call "home" more than twenty years ago. Three men made history on November 2nd, 2000, when they became the first people to live outside of Earth. On the International Space Station (ISS), which had been launched two years earlier, Russians Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev and Americans William Shepherd orbited the planet for 141 days. As of this writing in November 2020, 241 people from 19 different countries were living on the ISS.

How did the pocket wolf go extinct?
The pocket wolf used to be the largest marsupial carnivore that survived into modern times. Although its skeletal structure and physical appearance are similar to those of the gray wolf, and the pattern of its back fur resembles that of the tiger, taxonomically speaking, the pocket wolf belongs to neither the canine nor the feline family, and it is different from any of the extant carnivores in the northern hemisphere. Kangaroo wolves belong to the marsupial order, Kangarooidae. As we know, the wombat (koala), wombat, and various kangaroos living in Oceania are its "close relatives". The reason why the appearance of wolves and tigers is similar to that of wolves and tigers is that they reproduce in a similar natural environment, resulting in the phenomenon of "convergent evolution".

Living through Ian. Top Story - October 2022.
My home is on Fort Myers Beach but I rode out the storm at my daughter's place in north Fort Myers. I am devastated, grateful beyond words, distraught, happy, sickened, relieved and overwhelmed. We lost so much and we have so much left. Time stands still, and time rushes by. The rollercoaster of emotions rocks you into sleep and back out. We are out of homes and jobs, but we are ALIVE. Barring a couple of acquaintances, everyone has checked in safe and ALIVE. Hence, the happy part. Many cannot say the same. Thinking of those that were not as lucky is the crippling sadness part. So many lives forever changed. So many lost. Lifetimes of treasures and keepsakes gone forever. For tens of thousands of people, memories are all that remain. For thousands of people, anticipation of happy news and fear of bad news still dominates their every thought. There is a strange mixture of hope and rebirth constantly overshadowed by fear, grief and uncertainty. It makes me feel guilty to feel happy and grateful, knowing how many don't get to feel that way right now.
