For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Joined at the...Soul?
This is a true story, and even though I have permission to share, all names have still been changed, just because... I remember the evening I met her. No one really told me anything about her, except, "You've gotta watch this one. She can be a fighter. Honestly, she can be downright mean!"

Gangster boy Our third meeting was still at Big Ice's cabin. This time Wang Bo carried an acoustic guitar that had been knocked off the paint, and he smilingly said to me, "Big Bing, you're very nice, let's sing a song for you."

Mother Shipton
If you go to North Yorkshire and walk along the River Nidd, you will find one of the most mysterious places within Britain. Or so it was when a nearby cave became the birthplace of Ursula Southeil, the girl who would eventually become known as Mother Shipton. The nearby waterfall and the pool beneath it have the ability to turn items left in the water to stone. Naturally, this has been explained by science in the centuries since, but in 1488, the Petrifying Well was a place of magic.

Maintain life
Later, I didn't go back to Lijiang for a long time, and the focus of my life shifted to Tibet. After years of carrying bags, one by one, I went around mountains and lakes one by one, from Anima Qinggangri to Mahu Ghost Lake. I broke my ribs and my fingers. I experienced the most carefree time in my life. Happy, it is the second childhood. When I went back to Lijiang, I met Dajun next to the waterwheel at Guchengkou. He rubbed his hands in the distance and walked towards me happily, shouting, "Ouch... Dabing is back! Come to the restaurant for dinner at night." face smiling like a flower.

Emotional Stories
How many times, rafting on the rivers of memory; how many times, wandering in the nursery of the mind ...... just to edit down the scene of unforgettable scenes, treasured in the heart. I remember, in the days of black and white film, we were looking at the few but precious photos, again and again. The photos are yellowing day by day, while our inner memories and emotions are constantly being evoked. The colors in the depths of those years have become a landscape that never fades in our hearts. Emotions are the flowers that are awakened in the memory and bloom silently in the night of the soul. However, when did those cherished "drops" in life get diluted in our quick browsing and frequent updates, and those cherished emotions in the past now fall like dust? Technology continues to advance, the era of digital technology has arrived, photos have become more, and our emotions are being lost. The progress of technology has indeed brought many conveniences to our life and promoted the continuous development of society. But at the same time, our bodies and minds are getting numb in the fast-paced, high-efficiency life. Shouldn't we pick up the bag of emotions? When the poet stood on the sand dike by the sea and raised a glass to look at the moon, singing the sentence "the sea rises to the moon, the sky is the same at this time", the lonely Hong and the sea moon fly together, crimson sentiment, such as a wisp of xiao sound under the moon by the building. The glass of wine is full of blessings and thoughts for friends and is filled with a cup of moonlight, a small sip of which will intoxicate the moon for a thousand years. The time is like water, send far away a flatboat. Time is not old, and then a pot of turbid wine, see the river water diffuse like the spring tide. The whistling sea breeze of a thousand years, Zhang Jiuling's sea breeze, hovering over the head of the years, sprinkling a light rain like smoke in the dust of history. Even though separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the deep blessings and thoughts can transcend the distance of time and space, and eventually become an intoxicating eternity in cultural history. However, today, although there is fast and convenient delivery, people are less deeply attached, becoming wooden. As a popular saying goes, "The most distant distance in the world is when I'm sitting shoulder to shoulder with you and you're playing with your phone!" When the sentiment of "The people of the past have taken the yellow crane to go, the place is empty of the yellow crane tower" has nothing to hide under the forced view of the colorful neon; when the bright and pleasant "two orioles singing in the green willow, a line of egrets on the green sky" is thrown to the sky by the boisterous sound of people; when When the deep emotion of "Nian go, a thousand miles of smoke and waves" is covered up by the sound of steamer whistles into inaudible sighs ...... people have lost their emotions, self, and soul in their busy lives. Let us pick up the emotional bag, to quietly listen to the footsteps of time from the flood, so that life's precious drops in the mind stretched into a warm scroll, so that life is filled with layers of upwelling touch. The former dust and shadows, long mountains, and distant waters, along with the precious memories, are not a few photos can carry all. What we need more is the distant thoughts of the mind and the cleansing of emotions!

Is lyssavirus the deadliest virus on earth that can make you a zombie?
Now, first we will discuss what the zombies are. A zombie is defined as a dead person brought back to life without the ability to speak or move easily. But over the years, the meaning of the word "zombie" has changed, becoming associated with slavery, voodoo, reincarnation, ghosts, plagues, indifference, radiation, and infections. Zombies can be supernatural, living but under control, or dead but reanimated. They are frequently reanimated in contemporary zombie fiction, but there is still a wide range of them, including slow zombies, running zombies, bursting zombies, spitting and frothing zombies, zombies with weapons, or zombie limbs without bodies. They could have absolutely no memory, personality, or intelligence left at all. They don't all spread disease by biting (sometimes it's by airborne viruses or disease-carrying insects), not all of them are driven to consume human brains (though most seek human flesh), and not all of them were once humans (zombie dogs are another manifestation).

How to Play Dominoes with West Indians
Summer is coming to an interesting conclusion. We have faced Covid-19, monkeypox, inflation, criminal actions of elected officials and weird weather patterns. People have needed an escape from the insanity of day-to-day life, and have found it in many different ways. Some of us have returned to the gym; some have become even more deeply invested in their computers (laptops, desktops, cellphones, etc.) Some people have quit jobs; others refuse to return to the office to do things that they have proven could be done at home. And there are others who just want to make a connection with people again…or at all.
