1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,919 Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Why the Air of Johnny Mack? Five 2 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,919 good news stories. A pet owner learned that her cat 3 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,440 had adopted a rabbit. Yeah. Jen noticed that her born 4 00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:20,000 cat was a nursing her litter of kittens, and there 5 00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:22,839 was an extra kitten. Except it wasn't a kitten, it 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,160 was a baby bunny. Jen posted this TikTok and wrote 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,000 Nature writes a better story than Disney. But she did 8 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,480 point out let's pause the cuteness for a moment of education. 9 00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:33,600 If you find a wild animal, its best bet for 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,079 survival is for you to leave it be. Fawns are 11 00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:39,079 left alone all day so predators aren't attracted to mama's scent. 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,799 Mama rabbits do the same thing, often feeding them twice 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,079 a day to keep predators away from the nest. At 14 00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,920 age nine, Christy was diagnosed with Stargart disease, a genetic 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,679 condition that affects the central portion of the retina and 16 00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:55,119 leads to gradual vision loss. Christy's now twenty eight and 17 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,960 setting out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. She said, I put 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,799 a lot of mental energy and trying to hide it, 19 00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:02,799 but it became harder and harder to hide The hard 20 00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:04,959 part of degenerative eye disease is you don't wake up 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,599 one day and realize, oh, I should use my cane 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,959 now for the rest of my life. She was invited 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,200 and with some friends to hike up Mount Kilmanjaro, and 24 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,560 she explains, my immediate gut reaction was no. The friend 25 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:17,079 was telling us more about the trip. He gave all 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,920 these details, and that it dawned on us this is 27 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,319 going to be a really once in a lifetime opportunity. 28 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,840 The plan was for eleven blind climbers, each accompanied by 29 00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:29,000 one sided individual, to hike to the near twenty thousand 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,400 feet peak of Mount kilman Joro. The stats on that 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,319 about thirty thousand people attempt the hike each year, with 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,079 a sixty six percent success rate. For her preps, she 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,079 had to focus on heavy cardio training, saying, I'm still 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,079 working out how to use my hiking polls to sort 35 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:46,040 of feel the ground, and I think guiding looks really 36 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:48,680 different going up hill versus downhill for me with all 37 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,480 the different lighting conditions on the trail. When I was younger, 38 00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:53,159 I really didn't know what my disease was going to 39 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,719 lead to in my life. I didn't know what my 40 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,280 life was going to amount to I'm a twenty eight 41 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,120 year old woman who lost her eyesight, and yet I 42 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,359 get to live independently with some of my best friend friends. 43 00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:02,159 Now these friends get to go out in all kinds 44 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,879 of ventures with me, from backpacking the Grand Canyon to 45 00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:09,319 running the Boston Marathon and now Kilimanjaro. Meanwhile, in Denver, 46 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:13,599 the Denver Botanic Gardens hosted a competition to see who 47 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,919 could stack the most weight on a water lily pad 48 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,960 before the pad sank. More than thirty zoos in gardens 49 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,960 in nine countries around the world took part. The Missouri 50 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,199 Botanic Gardens posted a video on Instagram of their largest 51 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,400 lily floating upright under one hundred and eighty two pounds 52 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,039 of weight, but Florida's Bock Tower Gardens beat that with 53 00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,400 one hundred and eighty three pounds. Third place went to 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,639 the Huntsville Botanical Garden in Alabama, just one hundred and 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,680 seventy six pounds. Officer Stephen Harris was asked by the 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,479 Pittsburgh Local News why he would spend one hundred and 57 00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:51,639 thirteen dollars of his own money to solve a stranger's problem. 58 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000 Officer Harris said, we're supposed to be good men. So 59 00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:57,800 Harris got a call, Hey, come to the Greyhound bus 60 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,840 depot in Pittsburgh. There's a man being unruly. Iras said 61 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,479 he was just a male who was deaf and didn't 62 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:05,479 speak English read English. So it turned out he needed 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,840 help to get back on a bus to New York 64 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,919 and eventually Montreal. They called in a translator police line 65 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,159 and it turned out the man had stepped off the 66 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,520 bus to stretch his legs. Didn't hear the call from 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,240 the driver's time to go and watch as the bus 68 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240 took off for New York with his luggage and his 69 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,759 cash still on board. Harris used his own money on 70 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,159 his bank card to buy an Amtrak ticket to New York. 71 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,639 And Heines has settled the debate should he keep your 72 00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,919 ketchup in the fridge or in the cupboard? The debate 73 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,800 does keeping in the fridge keep it fresh or does 74 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,400 it make it too cold? I'm on team fridge.
