I decided to bring up the Tide Pod thing with my son last weekend as we were moving some things from storage over to our house. I figured since he's a teenager...just wanted to make sure he knew I was keeping up with what's been going on.

"Hey Daniel, have you heard about this Tide Pod challenge thing teenagers are doing?"

Never looks up from his phone..."Yes, and please don't tell me not to eat laundry detergent dad, I'm not a moron."

"....................Alrighty then."....lol

Last night I heard clamoring claws under my bedroom floor and what sounded like the Raccoon Tango. I grabbed my flashlight, went to the crawlspace entrance, and in the light beam was two beady eyes of a possum. It had a loud nasal breathing like a dog tracking another animal. I thought I would scare it away but it just stared at me as if to say, "Yes, may I help you?" I heard eeks from her babies so I knew why she was standing her ground. Stupid me tried to talk to it. "Really, possum? Could you keep it down? Thanks."

I could send you some of my home cooking Doc, that’s sure to bring ‘me out. They think it’s garbage being thrown out and free meal.

Facebook reminded about something I posted on three years ago. It was wonderful then, it's wonderful now. I'm sharing it.

I saw an amazing thing yesterday evening. As l was walking on the pavement, a bird flew in front of an oncoming car. l cringed when, instead of flying away, it swooped down and flew under the car. I thought for sure the poor thing would get crushed, when I saw it and a second bird fly out from under the rear of the car as it passed by. All this happened in the space of a second and it took me a moment before I realised what I had just witnessed.

The first bird had flown under a moving vehicle to rescue its mate.

We should all be so lucky to find someone half as fearless as that little bird.
