The moment we cross the gates into the State Fair, our senses are overloaded: The smell of deep fryers, the sound of thousands of overlapping conversations, the sight of goats being led on leashes past the Coliseum.Our senses are more than just how we take in the world — they’re central to the way memory functions in the brain, too, writes neurobiologist Gordon M. Shepherd in his book “Neurogastronomy.” He describes how familiar smells, for example, can trigger “‘aha’ moments” that bring back a flood of memories.So now, as another State Fair comes to a close, fairgoers shared their favorite sensory memories of the Fair.Sight“When I was a kid, at night, being at the start of the Midway.

Did it seem like the cashier at Trader Joe's was being more than just friendly while bagging your frozen mandarin orange chicken and 19-cent bananas? The company's CEO understand why you may think that. In a recent episode on the Inside Trader Joe's podcast, CEO Bryan Palbaum addressed the rumors that employees are trained to flirt with customers and said it's just that – a rumor. But Palbaum said he understands why employees' signature chattiness "might be misinterpreted." "Well, I think we just have such a unique environment in our stores that, to go into a Trader Joe's store and feel that everyone is genuinely interested in whether or not you are having a good day, compared to maybe perhaps other retailers, I could see how that might be misinterpreted," he said.

An unusual late-summer storm turned a week-long counterculture fest into a sloppy mess with tens of thousands of partygoers stuck in foot-deep mud and with no working toilets in the northern Nevada desert. But some Burning Man revelers said Sunday that their spirits remained unbroken.Organizers closed the festival to vehicles after one death was reported. Officials provided no details of the fatality.The annual gathering in the Black Rock Desert about 110 miles (177 kilometers) north of Reno attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances.
