Staying at home means a lot of reading for some people, and luckily we're living in a time when we can access lots of free reading materials online. My library carries lots of free eBooks to read, and Amazon has free books available every day. You can even read with the kindle app on your computer or phone if you don't have a Kindle. Audible is offering lots of free kids books right now, as is Sesame Street, which are also on Kindle.
Mother's Day is just a few days away, and whether you're a celebrating parent, toasting your mother from afar or just planning on Sunday cocktails, why not make it a special kind of drinking day with something out of the ordinary?
A friend of mine made an entire "catio" for her cats, complete with a screened-in area and enormous climbing spaces. I hope to do this for my own cats sometime, but in the meantime it got me thinking about the largest cat towers and climbing areas I've ever seen.

Some people even turn their crafts into a side gig but there's really no pressure for that. The point is to enjoy yourself!
Whether you're celebrating for Cinco de Mayo (which isn't really a big Mexican holiday, but you probably know that by now), adding a drink to your regular Taco Tuesday meal or you're just in the mood for some tequila, a margarita is often a great idea. The question is, what is the best way to make one?
One major concern about nuclear power is the fear that terrorists or rebels could gain access to nuclear materials that they could use construct an actual fission bomb or just a dirty bomb that would disperse radioactive materials over a wide area. A number of technologies have been developed to scan containers and vehicles for radioactive materials, but they have problems.
