Just a day in the life. My husband and I can't stop watching this doorbell camera short of a Pizza Delivery guy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HrTJxftP3vc
An entire crime action drama, complete with an accidental hero, is captured from start to finish on one 10 second door bell camera video.
@jeanne-mayell Wow! Perfect example of " I am always in the right place at the right time " An ordinary hero! with perfect timing.

i can hardly believe it, but this is my 1000th(!) post on this forum. So, i thought i should post something positive (and then i can go back to my previously scheduled bitching about fascism in America).
from The Guardian:
US man leaves job interview, rescues baby in runaway stroller, then lands job
It always surprises me how much animosity is shown towards un-housed folks, especially since so many Americans are only one paycheck (or one medical problem) away from financial ruin. Well, the family in the story above will always be grateful that there was a homeless man hanging around on that day.
Oh, and here is some music to accompany the story:
Did a quick view of the world today:
I see Trump end up in a medical asylum by summer.
Russia will withdraw from Ukraine, with Crimea returning back to Ukraine.
Most of the world has gotten past COVID except China.
Hi all,
Back from NoLa JazzFest - fun but exhausting! I returned to do my volunteer work at the animal shelter I've been at this year. Bit of a tough day - a very sweet cat that was unadoptable due to severe medical issues had to be euthanized. We did our best to make his last few moments happy and full of love. I took a little cry break and got back to work with the other kitties, when one of the other volunteers told me this incredible story, that apparently made the local papers.
Very much a happy ending! It made me feel so much better.
