But society has (thankfully) evolved. Not only can you easily find bulk-free snow boots, but you can buy some so stylish, you’ll want to wear them even when it’s not snowing....

The northern lights are putting on a show in the high latitudes, and may be heading far south enough to be visible in the northern United States this weekend. Earlier this week, the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued several alerts for “Type II radio emissions” from the sun.

There’s nothing like a train trip through the American West to take you back in time. As you travel through the vast expanse, it’s all too easy to imagine a lone cowboy riding in the distance or a group of Natives rounding up a herd of buffalo. The effect is only amplified by the fact that you’re traveling by train, a mode of transportation that enabled many to settle out West in the late 19th century....

It’s hard to believe an elite athlete like Alex Rodriguez wouldn’t know that someone was sneaking a play by him, but it looks like that’s what happened when Ben Affleck swooped in on Jennifer Lopez when the baseball player wasn’t looking.
