What does the “perfect summer” look like to you? Lots of road trips? Camping? Back yard barbecues? Golf? According to a new survey, the absolutely ideal summer must include the following: 14 days with loved ones, 8 sunrises watched, and 11 dips in the water. That’s from a poll of 2,000 adults in the US, which found that some of the most enjoyable things about summer include: spending time with family and friends (44%), enjoying BBQs (43%), longer days (42%), warmer weather (37%), and swimming (31%). I hate to be negative, but people were also asked about things that can ruin a beautiful summer. The top answer was too much heat, followed by being sick, or injured. And the average person expects to have to deal with one sunburn, and go through 2 bottles of sunscreen.

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Manu Solidaire isn’t an Olympic athlete, but he’s doing great things in Paris. The 33-year-old TikTok star spends hours preparing dozens of meals in his tiny kitchen — then hops on his bike and distributes the food to people living on the streets of Paris. He takes his more than 350,000 followers along every step of the way, and they in turn help crowdfund his efforts. Last year, Solidaire won TikTok’s L’award d’honneur for his work. And after seeing that people’s needs went beyond food, Solidaire expanded his efforts by distributing hygiene supplies, and even sometimes paying for hotel rooms.
A Kelowna BC resident was the victim of a gnome-napping…with a happy ending. In June, Kelly Blair was sad to discover that his beloved, albeit weathered and worn, gnomes had gone missing from his front lawn. Having already had a few items go missing from his property, he grimly accepted the fact that the tiny men were likely never to be seen again. But on July 3rd, a woman showed up at his door and handed him an envelope addressed only to “The Homeowner.” Inside was a paper gnome with “Gnome Preservation Society” written on the back. The mysterious woman led him to her car, where he found all his gnomes cleaned up and meticulously painted. The woman would only offer that the society wished to remain anonymous. Blair is thrilled to have his gnomes back through the random acts of kindness, and is amazed at the handiwork of the Gnome Preservation Society, saying: “The detail is just incredible.”

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A British woman is trying to find a new home for her collection of 163 bedpans after they (if you can believe it…) failed to sell at auction. Mary Jacobs, the owner of what might be Europe’s largest collection of bedpans, started her unusual hobby while helping out with rummage sales at the Salvation Army in 1984. She now has 163 different bedpans and a ‘wee’ problem: She has run out of room to store them. Her attempt to unload them at auction last month failed to attract any bidders. Quote: “I hope they go to a good home. They’re clean, washed and in fantastic condition.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3zskjnw2

ORIGINS OF COMMON SAYINGS:
⇒ “Elephant in the room”: This, of course, doesn’t mean that there’s an actual elephant in the room (although that would be AWESOME!). It refers to an important topic of conversation that no one is discussing. When there’s “an elephant in the room,” typically a big piece of information, news or and awkward or dramatic moment is being avoided. It is thought the phrase comes from the 1814 story “The Inquisitive Man’, about a character who visits a museum, and fails to notice an elephant in the room. The first recorded use of the phrase as an idiom was in The New York Times in 1959.
⇒ “Turn a blind eye”: The phrase, used to refer to a willful refusal to acknowledge a reality, goes back to the career of the British naval hero Horatio Nelson. During 1801’s Battle of Copenhagen, his ships were pitted against a large Danish-Norwegian fleet. When his more superior officer flagged for him to withdraw, the one-eyed Nelson supposedly brought his telescope to his bad eye and proclaimed, “I really do not see the signal.” He went on to score a decisive victory.
⇒ “Crocodile tears”: We use this phrase to describe a display of superficial or false sorrow. But the saying comes from a medieval belief that crocodiles shed tears of sadness while they killed and consumed their prey. This myth from a 14th century book called The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, which includes the words: “These serpents slay men, and eat them weeping, and they have no tongue.” Shakespeare picked up on this, and “crocodile tears” became an idiom as early as the 16th century.
⇒ “Go cold turkey”: To “go cold turkey” usually refers to someone who quits something for good without delay, preparation, or discussion, like when we speak of a smoker quitting “cold turkey.” In 1921, a newspaper wrote of people “surrendering” to a doctor, who gave them the “cold turkey” treatment. It is thought the phrase comes from the combination of goose pimples and what William Burroughs called “the cold burn” that addicts suffer as they kick the habit.
