GOOD NEWS, Brian I thought you were going to say something like FINALLY in California the state got its much needed rain. Here in Palm Beach FL we could use some as Big Lake Okeechobee is residing but my orchid collection is thriving though. Smiles.
Looking for more good news...
Peace

Oh how I wish, g! We may get a little rain up in the high country but very unlikely here. The concern there is that means just as much of a chance of lightning starting a fire.
Cool story about Raju, Kat! Love them elephants!
Nice story up there in B.C. too, oftenreading!
Always good to read a little good news!

I was a waiter once and if that man sat in my section I would've taken care of him the in very same way. Even give up tables to complete that man's meal. I believe when one is willing to give of themselves to others, it comes back or returns to one in the uniquest of ways sometimes never knowing it has.

Awesome! I love reading news like this. Thanks Kat and g!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
That a good trick, Kat! If you're like me and full of hot air you can even simply breath heavily on a sticker to loosen it.
I used to use lighter fluid on records and books which works great but that stuff is toxic! I switched to Citrasolv which works really well and is non-toxic. The only catch is to watch for porous surfaces. Citrasolv tends to soak into more porous paper and sometimes leaves a very slight stain (but rarely). And it smells nice!

Good personal news. My wife gave birth to twin girls last week and they rule.
Congratulations EarlWelsh Mistreated lions being saved by Animal Defence International. 33 lions being saved from really bad conditions on circuses in Peru and Colombia, transported to wildlife in Africa. http://bbc.com/news/world-africa-36157483 I think it's so great that more and more countries are forbidding the use of animals on circuses, it's a very good trend
I used to work at this community college that had a park across the street with a pond and lots of ducks. Just sitting there watching them was always so calming. And it's cool how them come swooping down, skimming on the water surface to land.

I saw some fresh little ducklings off the dock yesterday on our first trip out on the boat for the year. I stopped to watch them and MamaDuck told me to "move along dickbag" with appropriate vigor.
Honestly, I'm not a fan on these re-creating of photos. Why? Leave the original beauty as is. Just seems forced otherwise, at least to me.
All the shit going down these days, been searching out truly positive stories/observances, trying to contribute my own as well. No fanfare or views or going viral needed either. Doing alright with this.
People have been kind way before the internet's exposure. May it continue to be that way.
I think the photo recreation thing is just a bit of fun. It's interesting to see the changes to people over time when putting them into a past context. I think it is meant to be a bit jarring, and simply funny for the folks doing it.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

And congrats Earl and mom.
My good news? No bad news. Simple, beautifully so.
I'm breathing, alive, smiling, loved (just giving it away too - though judiciously; shit ain't cheap!), and at the moment in no pain.
And been digging on some sweet dog rescue good news stories this evening.

That dog (second picture) looks like the flying dragon from the never ending story.

I wonder how many times dad got pooped and peed on for the first photo shoot?
