Crazy video of mama bear and cub that walked into a Pharmasave store in Hope today. Apparently wandered in through automatic doors and looked around for a bit. (Video: Rob Eves via Facebook).

He met a stranger in Egypt. Then the man vanished without a trace….
“He had these big, bulbous eyes… kind of like a chameleon. They operated independently.”
“He kept asking these really methodical questions: ‘What are you investigating in Egypt? Why don’t you tell me more about your theory?’”
“None of it was making sense.”
“I attempted to message him later, and he just kind of disappeared into thin air… I tried to look him up. Nobody existed under that name.”
Was this merely an eccentric stranger, or did someone deliberately seek him out to learn what he had discovered at Giza?

In 1906, 27-year-old Canadian Peter Lymburger Robertson invented a new screw and screwdriver.
Considered far superior to the Philips screw, the Robertson screw is now regarded as one of Canada's greatest inventions.
This is the story.

HOW CAN I BE HAPPY WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG IN THE WORLD?
A wonderful answer by a Buddhist monk:
A man once asked an old Buddhist monk:
“How can I allow myself to feel happiness when the world is full of suffering, war, injustice, pain, and loss?”
The monk looked at him with compassion and asked:
“If your mother was sick, would you stop eating?”
The man looked confused.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because then there would be two people suffering instead of one.”
The monk smiled.
“Exactly.”
Then he continued:
“Many people believe that carrying the weight of the entire world on their shoulders is compassion.
But often, it is simply another form of suffering.”
The man lowered his eyes.
“But every day I see bad news.
I see people struggling.
I see cruelty.
And I feel guilty whenever I experience joy.”
The monk nodded.
Then he pointed toward a small flower growing through a crack in a stone path.
“Look at that flower.
It grows in a world of storms.
It grows in a world where leaves fall, animals die, and winters come.
Yet it still blooms.”
The man stood silently.
The monk continued:
“The flower does not ignore suffering.
It simply does not allow suffering to stop it from expressing its nature.”
Then the monk asked:
“If every kind-hearted person became hopeless, who would remain to help others?”
The man’s eyes widened.
The monk continued:
“The world does not need more exhausted souls.
It needs more people with enough peace inside them to share it.
Enough hope to inspire it.
Enough strength to carry it.”
The man whispered:
“So being happy is not selfish?”
The monk smiled gently.
“No.
Turning away from suffering is one thing.
But allowing suffering to destroy your ability to love, help, and live fully is another.”
Then he added:
“Be grateful for your meal.
Call your parents.
Help your neighbor.
Smile at a stranger.
Be kind to someone who is hurting.
You do not heal the world by carrying all its pain.
You heal the world by reducing the pain you touch.”
Tears filled the man’s eyes.
For the first time, he understood.
His happiness was not a betrayal of those who suffer.
It was strength for helping them.
And the monk said one final thing:
“Protect your inner peace.
Because a candle that burns itself out cannot give light to anyone.
A peaceful heart is not escaping the world.
It is becoming strong enough to serve the world without losing itself.”
You are allowed to smile while others are hurting.
You are allowed to enjoy your life while still caring deeply about the suffering around you.
You do not need to suffer endlessly to prove that you have compassion.
Keep your heart open.
Keep your hands helpful.
Keep your spirit alive.
The world needs your compassion, but it also needs your light.

Sometimes you gotta do your own research.
I find out that the boat used as the S.S. Minnow on Gilligan's Island was a 1964 Wheeler Plamate.
It had a cruising speed of 12 knots. Which means they couldn't have traveled more than 1.5 miles.
Now, I'm starting to doubt if the show was even real.

The pic on the left is fake. Her braces were a dark metal look as was most braces around the late 70's. Seen the movie at least a dozen times and in the theatre, when she smiled the whole theatre laughed
Mandela Effect-the cornucopia & the braces on the girl in Moonraker. I loved that scene-saw the movie several times. Now it never happened. But it did & the scene ONLY makes sense if she also had a mouth full of metal like Jaws. Otherwise meaningless scene.
