At this moment, on July 20, 1969, people around the world held their breaths, waiting to hear the words "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed" as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history and became the first humans to land on another celestial body, the moon.

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.
These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people.
Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.
The truth is we can’t afford not to.

There is always an adventure waiting to be found in Montreal #MTL. I was walking down Sherbrooke and suddenly the street is packed with vintage 1950s cars. Turns out they were filming something. Obviously, I got inspired.

Libraries are beautiful and magical places. They provide us with so much more than books.
My youngest got some free seeds from the library and is so proud of his crops.
There are few joys like watching something grow after careful nurturing.
Gardening is one of the best lessons we can teach our kids 🌱

As I've highlighted recently, don't look to US Treasuries for "safe haven"/"flight to quality" flows. Their yields barely budged after the Israeli attack on Iran. Instead, watch the price of gold (below) and silver.
The flows are happening; they're just not headed to USTs as history would suggest.

I have to give props to this journalist as it is pretty hard to narrow Canadian parks down to five. Glad to see Waterton Lakes is second on the list.
For a cool car adventure I would also recomend the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island.

My kids have learned how to play dungeons and dragons at the library. They are also learning Chess. We are two blocks from our local library, and it has been a huge part of our family.
Do you all know how many amazing things you can do for free with a library card?
This week alone I: Got my whole family free tickets to the LA Zoo, took a free drawing class, finally created a LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT because the card also gets you free legal services!! Take advantage if you can! 🥰
