What's nice about 50°F is that it's approximately the temperature of the Earth's crust. Most places in the world, if you dig down a few feet, it's about 50.

Google Keep is the best for this.

Any note can be made into a checklist, and I have one called "Shopping List". It's shared with my wife and kids.

First major airline crash in the US since 2009, I think.

Appears to be a CRJ-700 carring 60-70 passengers and a military Blackhawk. Blackhawk was given clearance by ATC to pass "behind" the plane as it was on approach to land.
