Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Why the Air of Johnny Mack? Five
good news stories. A pet owner learned that her cat
had adopted a rabbit. Yeah. Jen noticed that her born
cat was a nursing her litter of kittens, and there
was an extra kitten. Except it wasn't a kitten, it
was a baby bunny. Jen posted this TikTok and wrote
Nature writes a better story than Disney. But she did
point out let's pause the cuteness for a moment of education.
If you find a wild animal, its best bet for
survival is for you to leave it be. Fawns are
left alone all day so predators aren't attracted to mama's scent.
Mama rabbits do the same thing, often feeding them twice
a day to keep predators away from the nest. At
age nine, Christy was diagnosed with Stargart disease, a genetic
condition that affects the central portion of the retina and
leads to gradual vision loss. Christy's now twenty eight and
setting out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. She said, I put
a lot of mental energy and trying to hide it,
but it became harder and harder to hide The hard
part of degenerative eye disease is you don't wake up
one day and realize, oh, I should use my cane
now for the rest of my life. She was invited
and with some friends to hike up Mount Kilmanjaro, and
she explains, my immediate gut reaction was no. The friend
was telling us more about the trip. He gave all
these details, and that it dawned on us this is
going to be a really once in a lifetime opportunity.
The plan was for eleven blind climbers, each accompanied by
one sided individual, to hike to the near twenty thousand
feet peak of Mount kilman Joro. The stats on that
about thirty thousand people attempt the hike each year, with
a sixty six percent success rate. For her preps, she
had to focus on heavy cardio training, saying, I'm still
working out how to use my hiking polls to sort
of feel the ground, and I think guiding looks really
different going up hill versus downhill for me with all
the different lighting conditions on the trail. When I was younger,
I really didn't know what my disease was going to
lead to in my life. I didn't know what my
life was going to amount to I'm a twenty eight
year old woman who lost her eyesight, and yet I
get to live independently with some of my best friend friends.
Now these friends get to go out in all kinds
of ventures with me, from backpacking the Grand Canyon to
running the Boston Marathon and now Kilimanjaro. Meanwhile, in Denver,
the Denver Botanic Gardens hosted a competition to see who
could stack the most weight on a water lily pad
before the pad sank. More than thirty zoos in gardens
in nine countries around the world took part. The Missouri
Botanic Gardens posted a video on Instagram of their largest
lily floating upright under one hundred and eighty two pounds
of weight, but Florida's Bock Tower Gardens beat that with
one hundred and eighty three pounds. Third place went to
the Huntsville Botanical Garden in Alabama, just one hundred and
seventy six pounds. Officer Stephen Harris was asked by the
Pittsburgh Local News why he would spend one hundred and
thirteen dollars of his own money to solve a stranger's problem.
Officer Harris said, we're supposed to be good men. So
Harris got a call, Hey, come to the Greyhound bus
depot in Pittsburgh. There's a man being unruly. Iras said
he was just a male who was deaf and didn't
speak English read English. So it turned out he needed
help to get back on a bus to New York
and eventually Montreal. They called in a translator police line
and it turned out the man had stepped off the
bus to stretch his legs. Didn't hear the call from
the driver's time to go and watch as the bus
took off for New York with his luggage and his
cash still on board. Harris used his own money on
his bank card to buy an Amtrak ticket to New York.
And Heines has settled the debate should he keep your
ketchup in the fridge or in the cupboard? The debate
does keeping in the fridge keep it fresh or does
it make it too cold? I'm on team fridge. Let's
see what Hines has to say. Heines says, the best
place to keep your ketchup to ensure it tastes best
is you gotta know, right well, Olivia Lennon at Heines
Tomato confirms there was only ever one correct answer, and
we're happy to share with you. Heines's Tomato Ketchup lovers
should be kept boy. I'm tempted to make a tune
back for next episode, but that would be jerky. The
best way to maintain the delicious tanky taste of our
Hinds Tomato Ketchup is fridge, she says. Although we're aware
many Hinds Tomato Ketchup fans have been storing their ketchup
in the cupboard, we do recommend refrigeration after opening. And
those are your five good news stories for today. Enjoy
your French fries, have a great day.
