1. Air Conditioner Problems

The Economist reports that “in the next ten years, as many air-conditioners will be installed around the world as were put in between 1902 (when air-conditioning was invented) and 2005.” This will be great for people because AC has saved many from heat-related deaths. Europe, for example has seen a ten-fold decrease in such deaths since 2003. The concern is that air conditioners are a huge factor in global warming. Ironic, I know. Check out the article for additional insights.

2. Are Hangovers Officially Over?

A friend recently told me about Bytox Hangover Patches. Simply peel and stick “to a dry and hairless area on your body” to deliver “a potent blend of nutrients and vitamins designed to replenish the body and keep you feeling well.” Researching these led me to a huge number of similar products. Who knew hangovers were such a big problem? [sarcastic winky face] Thanks to Gaynor S for the tip! I owe you a drink.

3. NYPD Beekeeper Squad

I was surprised to learn, after seeing a weird story (with great photos, btw) in the New York Times about bees swarming a Times Square hot dog stand, that the New York City police Department has a Beekeeping Squad (which may be only one guy, Darren Mays). The crew even has its own Twitter account. Other news outlets couldn’t resist the punny headlines.

A Giveaway! — there’s still time to enter.

Speaking of bees… they make beeswax, and organic beeswax is one of the four ingredients in FOUR: Organics Lip Balm. Remember: I’m giving away two (2) three-packs of FOUR: Organics Lip Balm (valued at $17 each). The winners will be: one current 3 Today subscriber (possibly you) and one person who they get to subscribe to 3 Today (possibly your friend)! All you have to do is forward this email to a friend and let me know via email who you referred. If they subscribe, you and your friend each get one chance to win. Winners will be chosen randomly on September 30, 2018, so refer your friends early and often. The more people you get to subscribe, the more chances you have to win!

Swag? I’m Glad You Asked…

The 3 Today Logo T-shirt and 3 Today PopSocket are available on Amazon.
