Is it just me? Or has this week been particularly hard?
I've noticed something strange this week, and I'm curious if anyone else has too. It feels like a lot of people around me who are normally pretty steady have been unusually stressed, moody, anxious, or just emotionally off. It's not just one person either. Several family members and friends, who usually aren't the type to complain, all seemed to be having a rough week. Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe I'm paying more attention than usual, or maybe there's something bigger going on that people are picking up on. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

Why Isn't There a Ferry Between Nyack (or Rockland) and NYC?
Yesterday I asked why there isn't a ferry between Nyack and Tarrytown. A lot of the replies mentioned that there are already other ways to get across the river, which got me thinking...
Why isn't there a ferry from Nyack, or somewhere else in Rockland, directly to Manhattan?
It seems like it would make a lot of sense. Instead of sitting in bridge traffic or dealing with transfers, you'd have a direct ride down the Hudson. It could serve commuters during the week and bring more visitors to Nyack and the rest of Rockland on weekends.
I'm genuinely curious because, on the surface, it feels like an obvious option.

Why isn't there a ferry between Nyack and Tarrytown?
We already have the Haverstraw to Ossining ferry, and it seems to work well for connecting people to Metro north. So why has Nyack never gotten a similar service?
With all the complaints about hudson link and commuting headaches, a short ferry ride seems like a pretty obvious alternative. It could give commuters another option while also bringing more visitors to Nyack, Tarrytown, and both waterfronts, especially during the spring and summer.
I know there have been proposals over the years, but is there a real reason it hasn't happened?
It just seems like one of those ideas that's so obvious I'm assuming there's something I'm missing. Curious if anyone here knows the history.

Picking a name for my superfoods line. Which one would you grab off a shelf?
Hey all, after a gut reaction here.
I'm launching a nuts, dried fruit, and superfoods line and I'm down to two brand directions. Mockup is here: https://postimg.cc/LhpXqbn6
Trademark is already filed on both names, so this isn't a "does it exist" question. I want to know which one pulls you in more and which one you'd actually pick up.
Quick context so the names land:
Freshrr (two r's, on purpose). It's built on one promise: small batches, made fresh, no sitting in a warehouse for a year. The name carries the whole idea.
Hero Superfoods. Same freshness focus, but it reaches wider. Superfoods up front, plus a give-back angle where every bag helps feed shelter animals. The "hero" idea is simple: you do something good for yourself, for the planet, and for an animal with every purchase.
So Freshrr is tight and says one thing well. Hero means more but asks the brand to carry more.
Which one hits harder, and why? First instinct is what I'm after.
