It's the back half of another blisteringly hot week in the US, today is Thursday, and we bring you highlights from another Thor who flies without a plane, followed by a great story about brain food, which we highlight since we already eat the same food. After a healthy snack, we show off a new haircut, although this one is also a house in Austin, TX, and speaking of hairstyles from the 80s, how about a massive reissue of The Replacements album Tim. With A Shout is packed today, another Thumbs up with thoughts for your daily indulgence.

A real-life Thor traveled around the world, and this Thor did it without a flying hammer or a plane. Torbjorn “Thor” Pedersen left for his journey in 2013, and his original plan was to visit every country in the world without flying. CNN has the details, and Pedersen encountered plenty of challenges along the way; complications with obtaining Visas and logistical issues that would come from any extensive trip like this. Fortunately for Pedersen, his job was in logistics, and his background helped him make it to all but 9 countries by 2020.

Pedersen was in Hong Kong when the world shut down for COVID-19 and was forced to stay for another 2 years. The story goes on to discuss what Pedersen did while he was there, including getting married. After a journey of over 222,000 miles over 10 years, Pedersen arrived back in his home country, Denmark, on May 24th, 2023.

One of our favorite image, design, and architectural pubs branched out and gave us an article on Brain Food. Moss and Fog pulled info from a Harvard nutritionist, Dr. Uma Naidoo, and her book This is Your Brain on Food. What we liked most about this article is the five foods mentioned are foods we eat every day. If health is important to you, especially if you've passed the hypermetabolism burn stage, you've seen these ingredients before. We incorporate all of these ingredients into our high protein, low carb nutrition, regular exercise, and as consistent a sleep routine as possible. 

Dr. Naidoo says we have a strong connection between our gut and brain; some fermented foods, like yogurt, can improve our gut health and brain function. Non-fat Greek yogurt is good for the waistline as well.

Here is a quick recipe for a yogurt snack using 4 of the 5 ingredients. This is a snack we have before bedtime, loaded with protein and, as we learned today, brain foods! The protein powder we use was recommended by a personal trainer, and we like it because it increases the protein, improves the taste of the non-fat yogurt, and does not have any caffeine. 

Start with yogurt and protein powder and mix it up; add turmeric, mix it up again, and add berries and dark chocolate at your own discretion. An excellent night snack, increasing protein and helping you with brain function all in one bowl!

We had to read this story after being captured by the headline. Welcome to the Mullet House. The Wall Street Journal took us into a unique home in Austin, TX, described as business in the front and a party in the back. 

The Chapmans, Marguerite Woung and Stan built a second house in Austin, TX – the pair are successful execs in the energy industry and have a residence in both California and Texas; decided to build a second home in Austin, and instead of building another "belly-button" house (everybody has a belly-button), they went for a mullet!

The Replacements have announced a massive reissue of Tim, and it's coming with tracks galore. The consequence has the story written by Carys Anderson. Tim was The Replacement's major label debut and featured the song Bastards of Young. This song, in particular, included a legendary music video from a band that hated music videos. Watch it here and let it take you back to the 80s. Anderson talks about a few creative issues the band had with original producer Tommy Ramone, which led to Ed Stasium's help finishing the album. The new reissue is available for pre-order now, and based on the article, it looks like it will come with many extras.
