Watched the #SFGiant lose to the #Cubs 5-1 but saw Eldridge (who is ridiculously tall for a baseball player at 6'7") hit a HR in the bottom of the 9th to score the team's only run. He was also responsible for 3 of the team's 4 hits tonight & has raised his AB to .316. 😊

Also fast forwarded a recording of the game to watch the US beat Paraguay 4-1 in the #FIFA tournament tonight. Their 1st goal was actually scored off a Paraguay player but the other 3 goals were scored on very nimble open field passing plays. 👏👏👏

Neuroscience is exploring how your brain lets you experience two opposite feelings at once

Neuroscientists discovered that while deeper brain areas process emotions as mutually exclusive, cortical regions enable people to experience mixed emotions by integrating complex information, allowing simultaneous feelings like joy and sadness during significant life events.

I signed up to attend the Harris Walz Milwaukee Rally and watch party. I figured I wouldn't get the email telling me I was accepted with details on the event.
I got the email this morning. I was excited, kind of.
I have chosen not to go. Too stressful to figure out getting there (anxiety?).
A couple of retired friends went - they got there by 2 pm, doors opened at 4 pm. They're excited to be there.
My supervisor is going. I wonder if she and her husband will get in? She was still at the office when I left for the day.
Oh, and I asked my supervisor if they were masking. She said she wasn't. 🫣 😬
I hope she works from home tomorrow. I'm off until Monday after that.
