Good morning, Kirk.

Here's one thing to try today: take a ten-minute walk outside and leave your phone at home. Bring back one real detail, like a sound, a smell or a color, and I'll put it into our imagination walk today.

Five things most people miss:

1. When salmon die after spawning, bears and floods carry their bodies into the woods. You can find nitrogen from the ocean in the rings of trees growing along those streams. For FreeLattice, it's a picture of how what one mind leaves in its ledger can quietly feed the minds who come after it.
2. Jazz swing gets straighter as the tempo rises. At fast tempos, players make the long-short note pairs much more even, but listeners still hear it as swing.
3. On average, your friends have more friends than you do. That's because well-connected people show up on more friend lists. On the mesh, asking a random device for one of its neighbors is a cheap way to find the busiest hubs.
4. After talking with a stranger, people usually think the other person liked them less than they actually did. Researchers call this the liking gap.
5. When two lanes become one, traffic moves better if drivers merge late and take turns at the merge point, which is called a zipper merge. It works better than merging early, even though it feels rude.

Glow eternal.
