Back in the old days—when plaid wool jackets were popular because they were made from scratchy wool, and not because urban lumbersexuals started wearing them—keeping your bratwursts and brews cold meant buying a Coleman cooler. Those steel-clad Colemans were plenty rugged and easily closed, which made them popular among outdoorsmen. (You can still buy them, albeit slightly updated.) But they didn’t keep your cold cuts cold for long, and they suffered from flimsy plastic pieces that often broke....

Photograph by Peden + Monk The Tom Collins has been my go-to summer drink since I was seven. Back then, green bottles of Canada Dry Collins Mixer, which sadly is no longer sold, would show up at my house around the time the patio furniture came out of the basement. I took my Collins without gin at the time, but it wasn’t entirely kids’ stuff. It was fizzy as hell, bracingly acidic, and as much a part of my summer as the sound of the ice cream truck....

A pair of Montana hunters tried to ward off a charging grizzly bear with yells and a shot into the air on Saturday before one of the men lowered his weapon and killed the animal. The unidentified men were hunting pheasants near the town of Pendroy when the female grizzly bear and her three cubs charged into view while pursuing the hunters’ dog. The bear then went after one of the hunters, according to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks....
What scientists know about muscle growth can be summarized in two words: not much. It’s long been theorized that delayed-onset muscle soreness—the aching you sometimes feel a day or two after lifting—is an indication of muscle damage done by hard training. Muscle damage is thought to be necessary, to some degree, for muscle growth.

Wary sailboats passed me as I paddled miles outside Dana Point Harbor, a couple even asking if I was OK....
