Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

There was a cute story on NPR this morning about how bees and butterflies need sodium and they can't get it from nectar so they get it from sweat.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend, or a productive one.
I'm opting for the productive. My friends are having a yard sale in October, so I asked if they would have room for me to put out a table at their sale, where I can get rid of some stuff. She said "sure", so I spent today going around the apartment, looking for things I no longer want or need, and putting it in one location, so I can contemplate how to price it and get rid of it.
I plan on selling some of the comic books I have that I no longer want, as well as other things that are just collecting dust.

Personally, I haven't bought music in any physical form in years. I listen to almost everything on YouTube because I like the visuals. Otherwise I'd probably go with Spotify.
Come to think of it, the Brokeback soundtrack was one of my most recent CD purchases. :)

Vinyl is making a comeback, and a number of new releases have been issued in vinyl format.
I haven't purchased a lot of physical forms of music lately, but if I hear something I really like, I get it. As for Madonna, I collect her stuff, so I ALWAYS buy the physical copies of her albums.

If it no longer sparks joy, get rid of it.

I guess it's just my bad ears, but I've never understood that about the sound quality. Maybe it has something to do with the quality of your turntable, speakers, etc., but as soon as I first heard some classical music on CD, I was hooked.

I wouldn't even know where to go to buy music in physical form anymore. Oh, sure, the last time I was in the electronics department at a Walmart, and that was now some time ago, you could still buy music CDs and video DVDs, and you can buy online, and I know you can find music CDs (vinyl, too) in used book etc. stores, and in thrift shops, but I'm thinking of places like Tower Records--anybody else remember Tower Records?
In my first years in Philadelphia, Tower Records was such a big deal that it had an entirely separate building just to house the Classical department.
