Is Your Can Upside Down

Often, I learn valuable life lessons from performing simple everyday tasks. Yesterday I was preparing dinner. I was opening a can of green beans with an electric can opener.

Friday marked the Summer Solstice for 2025. Which means the longest stretch of sunshine and the shortest night of the year.
