RC hobby good for wellbeing? According to psychologists...

Post by TokyoProf »

So apparently...

Engaging in childhood hobbies can enhance adult playfulness and well-being. Psychologists suggest hands-on activities foster creativity, reduce stress, and improve overall mental health. Revisiting past interests can reignite joy and provide a sense of accomplishment. Incorporating playful activities into daily routines offers a fun way to boost happiness and enrich life.

Besides being a money pit, and being addictive, there are positives! Article below...

I recently saw pictures of WAPO or the Times, I don't remember which, but is was a major newspaper with two completely different headlines on the same cover story depending on what area of town, i.e. which side of the aisle, was going to be reading it. We do not have any credible news outlets anymore.
