Das 1.750-Seelen-Dorf Etteln in NRW gewinnt den IEEE Smart City Award und dieser Artikel gibt einen konstruktiv-journalistischen Einblick, warum die Auszeichnung gerechtfertigt ist:

Green roofs can help to slow water runoff and reduce flooding, all while naturally cooling buildings and benefiting biodiversity. #ReasonsToBeCheerful has a good article about recent successes with green roofs in the Netherlands. These are next level green roofs with in-built computer regulated water flow.

“A study of Resilio’s blue-green roofs found they could capture up to 97 percent of extreme precipitation — considerably more than a conventional green roof, which typically captures around 12 percent, and more than conventional blue-green roofs, which capture around half.”

Coming up to retirement age has an added perk in that you know there are fewer days ahead than there are behind, so if you don’t get the partner of your dreams, or you do get an instantly regrettable tattoo, well, hell, it’s not as if you’ll have to regret either of these things for very long.

I like to post a few #reasonstobecheerful to spread a bit of positivity - maybe give someone a smile or remind them of a good thing in their week 😜. Without further ado...

1. June 1 ☀️ came and went (official start of the Atlantic basin hurricane 🌀 season) and for the first time in my life aside from a few years in university 🏫, I'm not living on the Gulf of Mexico. After evacuating 🧳for Hurricane Helene last year, I sat in a hotel room in Pittsburgh, watching the storm tear up the coast ⛱️ and I made myself a promise: I was going to move and never experience this again. Within 4 months I had an out of state job offer. I did it. I left. I'm still very proud 🦚 of that.

2. My morning 🌅 train ride 🚆 was something out of a painting 🎨🖌️. The sun 🌞 was beaming and the city was awash in soft light. It was the kind of view that made me stop scrolling 📲 and just look out the window.

3. Went to a meeting 🤝 in support of HB3853 - The Protective Medical Equipment Freedom Act 😷. This bill 🧾will enshrine the right to wear medical masks and other protective medical equipment for Illinoisans. #Illinois #illinoispolitics #chicagoland

3. The average wait in the ER here is six minutes.

1. Enjoyed reading Somerset Maugham's short story "The Book-Bag" while sitting in a diner eating a cheese, pepper, and ham omelette with home fries.

2. In Starbucks, the barista told me how she and her coworkers like to dip madeleines in cold foam. She gave me a free cup so I could try it out. Delicious!

3. Two Kpop groups put out performance videos that I had been wanting to see.
