Earwax comes in many guises, varying in color from amber to brown to gray to black, its consistency ranging from wet and gooey to dry and flakey. But whatever its form, it’s universally considered gross and unwelcome by the general public, which is unfortunate, because this nasty-seeming...
There you are, ready as ever to venture outdoors for your brief, but daily jaunt around the block — a few routine minutes of nature to remind yourself of the outside world, a pleasant place where humans were once allowed to travel freely, before the coronavirus struck...
There’s plenty of advantages to self-isolating indoors all the time: You’re away from the elements like rain and snow, you’ve (hopefully) got a warm place to sleep and, above all in trying times like these, you’re safe from the scourge of the coronavirus. Unfortunately, there’s one annoying...
