    I'm going to be the bad guy and say I don't like it. I was sheltered in the city that I grew up in. But once I lived in Orlando and Houston, it was too often and too much.

    I remember when my mom would take me to opa-locka as a little boy. We would go to the flea market. magical times back then. junk as far as one cold see. It was such a nice place. People trash talk it nowadays.

    I even found their commercials fo the flea market.

    I think I would love that. I'm a light sleeper so this would be perfect for me, and there's no better place to get some reading done.

    Earth’s upper atmosphere—below freezing, nearly without oxygen, flooded by UV radiation—is no place to live. But last winter, scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology discovered that billions of bacteria actually thrive up there. Expecting only a smattering of microorganisms, the researchers flew six miles above Earth’s surface in a NASA jet plane. There, they pumped outside air through a filter to collect particles. Back on the ground, they tallied the organisms, and the count was staggering: 20 percent of what they had assumed to be just dust or other particles was alive. Earth, it seems, is surrounded by a bubble of bacteria.

    Interesting fact that I learned whilst researching something for a paper:

    The letter "J" was the last letter to be added to our alphabet. An Italian Renaissance grammarian, Gian Giorgio Trissino, made the "I" and the "J" two distinct sounds in 1524, but it wasn't until 1729 that it was accepted as a capital letter, along with the letter "U".

    Who knew the letters in our alphabet had such interesting histories?

    The Pixar character Nemo appeared in "Monsters Inc." as one of Boo's toys two years before "Finding Nemo" was released.
