The Paris Olympic Games have started but another thing that’s interesting is the athletes will sleep on cardboard beds (well maybe not any sumo wrestlers). www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/style/paris-2024-olympic-village/index.htmlThe whole Olympic village is supposed to be as “green” as possible using recycled wood, etc.. while providing 6,000 apartments and 6,000 offices afterwards.

Actually the Tokyo Summer Olympics of 2021 first used the cardboard beds. The athletes call them the anti-sex beds. Evidently they are only strong enough for sleep.

The strange benefits of sunscreen (and not smoking). The “millennials”, born between 1980-2000, got a rash of government advice (media, school) to avoid suntanning due to UV and not to smoke. As their kids, “Gen Z” grow into adulthood without that advice, more are getting mistaken for siblings. www.huffpost.com/entry/why-do-millennials-appear-to-be-aging-slower-heres-the-answer-ano_l_66d0a6c2e4b02e9516062fa2 As told by medical pros.. Of course it maybe too much of an over generalization (some tan, others have stressful jobs), but something to think about when making that packing list.
