Question Of The Day. Saturday 16th Of June.

[Norachan]

It's still Saturday in most places, isn't it?

Today's question: What news story have you heard recently that made you smile?

I have to read a lot of news because I teach current affairs and debating classes to high level English students. I'd really rather not read so much of it, the news can be very depressing. I'm always on the look out for a more upbeat story.

The best story I've heard this week is the one about the raccoon that climbed all the way to the top of a 25 storey building and was brought back down unscathed.

I love seeing pictures of the little guy making his way up the outside walls and resting on the window ledge. What was he thinking, I wonder?

How about you, any good news recently?

I can't find it now for a link. It was a story about a 7 year old that first heard about people being hungry in the U.S. He wanted to use his allowance to buy chicken sandwiches for the hungry, he is now volunteering at a kitchen that gives free meals.

I saw the one about the raccoon. I knew they had long sharp claws but I didn't know they were able to do that.

I love when weird news stories that happen in my area become viral. I heard about the infamous raccoon days later because I must have been living under a rock.

I saw an article about all of these fast food restaurants making fun of IHOP changing their name on Twitter. I just thought it was hilarious.

Norachan - As soon as I read your Question of the Day, the raccoon came to mind immediately. Here's my number 2 pick - Luka the jumping bear:

OMG! Thank you for posting this. I've given up hope to ever see a new episode. I've been bummed ever since they cancelled. This show and Doctor Who is the only ones I truly care about.
THANK YOU NETFLIX.

My favorite story this week was the one about the raccoon. They are amazing little guys.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I love this show! I just told Dear Richard that we're getting Netflix!

Oh sorry. I got so excited about Lucifer coming back that I forgot what the original question was. I loved reading and watching about the raccoon.

I heard my favorite news story this morning about Chubbs, a 29 lb. Himalayan cat that was found wandering the streets of Pasadena, CA:

Himalayans are such pretty cats but their fur does mat very easily. I can understand having to resort to shaving. Really for 29 pounds he doesn't look as overweight as I thought he would look, definitely is overweight but I think he is also just a big cat.
