Make that extra dry ☀️
TUESDAY | 7.8.25
Entry #728 of The Flow Photo Contest is seen here. A clever way to do your laundry or an early-stage start-up for laundromat enthusiasts. Regardless, we're just grateful that someone took the time to capture this moment and get involved in The Flow Photo Contest. What this entrant might not know is that whipper snappers from around the globe are partnering with mom-and-pop businesses and revitalizing their labor of love together. Think a hair salon that is also a neighborhood coffee spot, or a carwash that includes a video arcade, or a laundromat that has a fun little bar attached with those mini martini glasses. We have not heard of a bakery that has a putting green, but maybe some things should just be what they are. Like a tree that helps dry a towel. Other delights, news, and happenings from around the world down below on a Tuesday in July. Thanks for being here.
Of Mice and Ten(nis)
Wimbledon fans might not know it, but their love for tennis also happens to be supporting an ambitious housing project in which the 55,000 tennis balls used during the competition are repurposed as homes for harvest mice. The dog will not be happy about this.
A Sip to the Finish
Never too late to run a marathon. And what better way to start than with a race that makes pit stops at some of France’s better wineries? One glass of Pinot Grigio per mile ought to numb the pain of it all.
The Art of Doing Nothing
Each year, South Korea names the winner of its “Zoning-Out Competition,” a rather refreshing spotlight on the concept of slow and steady in a society that tends to subscribe more to the hare’s philosophy. Would love to see a sample training program.
Other Good News & Happenings
The power of memorizing song lyrics.
102 years of downward dog is absolutely something to brag about.
Tales of whales from the humans who study, love, and conserve them.
If you’re reading this and also a producer at HGTV, we’d like to formally pitch mud and robots. Thank you in advance for your time.
