By Mark Isero • Issue #1 • View online
Hi Everyone! (There aren’t many of you - yet.) So here’s my first edition. All I’m doing is clipping articles that I like and seeing what happens. A couple questions for you: (1) Do you like this? (2) Is this preferable to going to Iserotope Extras on the website? (3) Do you think this kind of newsletter is better for things non-KCP or KCP-related? or both? Let me know, and thanks!

Enduring Summer’s Deep Freeze - The New York Times
Why stores and offices are so over-airconditioned.
Love this quote from the article: “[F]eeling cold can take a psychological toll, making people untrusting, uncommunicative and unfriendly.” I’ve always run on the cold side, wearing a parka for no good reason. And now I feel vindicated!
