inThat week I tried to finish 'Infinite Jest' on a beach trip
Tbh I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about reading on the beach. I was like just bring a paperback and enjoy the sun, how hard can it be? Then I tried to tackle "Gravity's Rainbow" on a trip to the Outer Banks last summer and yeah, that changed my mind completely. The sand gets in everything, the pages get all wavy from the humidity, and you end up squinting so bad you get a headache. Plus you're constantly flipping pages back to check notes and then a wave splashes your towel and you lose your spot. It's not relaxing at all, it's like fighting with the book the whole time.

inWalked into a closed Forever 21 and saw the future of retail
Saw a Target turn half its space into a clinic last year. Retail is dying and healthcare is taking over.

inJust realized my basil wasn't growing because of the wrong pot color
@caseywest Heat loving it up there in Texas maybe, but black pots turn into little ovens here in the PNW summers if you blink twice and forget the water once... one dry spell and your basil is toast faster than you can say "compost pile.

inMy tomato plant snapped right at the base yesterday afternoon
I've done the tape and splint trick more times than I care to count. It might buy you a week or two if you get lucky, but in my experience the plant never really bounces back strong enough to ripen that many tomatoes. I'd start a new seedling now and let it catch up while the old one limps along.
