I Don't Know Where To Put This, But...

I wish I was a drug abuser. I really should be getting faded on a regular basis.

This one makes me smile. One of my favorite wild animals since I was a kid was the fox.

Man Builds Special Bond With a Fox He Rescued - Now She Wants to Hug Him Every Day (WATCH)

A 74-year-old man has built an incredibly friendly relationship with a fox he rescued—now she wants to cuddle with him every day.

The cub was brought into the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary seven years ago in a very ill state.

Geoff Grewcock believes she was poisoned and spent the next year nursing her back to health, after naming her Sweep.

Unfortunately, as a result, she imprinted on him and was unable to be returned to the wild. So now Sweep spends her life with a variety of wildlife that are being rehabilitated at the sanctuary.

“Sweep is such a lovely, friendly fox,” said Geoff, the owner of the center in Nuneaton, England.

“Most people can give her a stroke, but she is definitely closest with me and insists on us having a hug every day. (Watch the video below…)

“I think it’s her way of saying thank you for all the looking-after we do for her.”

Just a heartwarming story and I love animals. Makes me wonder about the small group of foxes that I saw around the house this past spring/summer. Haven't seen them in a while. Hope they're good. Such beautiful creatures that are pretty much harmless to us, unless maybe you have chickens or something.

The video in the article is about a minute long. This sweet fox is definitely very grateful for having her life saved.

This is pretty cool .

Monarchs Baseball - Monarchs Partner With KCTV 5, KSMO For Home Game Broadcasts

Every Kansas City Monarchs home game in the 2025 season will be free to watch on over-the-air television with no paywall, blackouts or account info required.

The four-time league champion Monarchs have partnered with Gray Television and KCTV 5 to broadcast every Monarchs Home game on KSMO Channel 62 in Kansas City.

Fans can also watch Monarchs baseball for free on KSMO’s sister stations in Wichita and Topeka, Kansas. WIBW-TV in Topeka will broadcast the games on channel 13.6. In Wichita, KWCH-TV will air the games on channel 12.4.

The agreement includes broadcasts for the Monarchs’ 50 regular-season home games and additional home playoff games.

The deal marks a return to live baseball for KSMO, the broadcast home of the Kansas City Royals from 1990 to 1995.

“At the Monarchs, our goal is to bring our team’s exciting brand of baseball to as many fans as possible,” said Monarchs owner Mark Brandmeyer. “This spectacular partnership with KCTV5 and KSMO will bring Monarchs baseball to its largest audience yet. We’re thrilled to team up with such a great organization and are looking forward to a successful season!”

“The Monarchs are baseball royalty in Kansas City, and we are thrilled to make their games available live across multiple cities in Kansas and Missouri,” said KCTV5/KSMO Vice President and General Manager Curtis Miles. “Plus, by airing the games on KSMO, viewers can watch the games for free, which means even more people can catch the excitement and learn about the Monarchs’ rich history. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

Foxes are cat software running on dog hardware. Great story!

First we had a long lost Mozart piece discovered, and now we have a long lost Chopin piece discovered.

Lost Chopin Music Unearthed 200 Years After Composer's Death Is His Most Intriguing Waltz

A museum curator uncovered a previously unknown waltz written in the hand of composer Frédéric Chopin, something which hasn’t happened since the late 1930s.

Found in the Morgan Library & Museum’s Satz Collection, the manuscript music sheet consists of twenty-four notated measures that the composer asks the pianist to repeat once in their entirety.

Chopin famously wrote in “small forms,” but this work, lasting about one minute, is shorter than any other waltz by him. It is nevertheless a complete piece, “showing the kind of ‘tightness’ that we expect from a finished work by the composer,” the Morgan Library & Museum said in a statement released on the discovery.

“The beginning of the piece is most remarkable: several moody, dissonant measures culminate in a loud outburst before a melancholy melody begins. None of his known waltzes start this way, making this one even more intriguing,” the statement explains.

The manuscript is only slightly larger than an index card (about 4 x 5 inches); based on other similarly-sized manuscripts by Chopin, it is assumed that it was meant as a gift. Chopin usually signed manuscripts that were gifts, but this one is unsigned, suggesting that he changed his mind and withheld it.

The Morgan Library’s Associate Curator of Music Manuscripts and Printed Music, Robinson McClellan, first came across the manuscript when he began cataloging a collection that came to the library in 2019.

Sadly, we don't have any audio of this one being played yet.

It's well established that I like animals. I find the work done to save species to be some of the more noble work being done in the world.

Black-Footed Ferret Cloned to Add Diversity Just Gave Birth to Two New Kits Helping Save Species

In Front Royal, a black-footed ferret named Antonia has just given birth to two healthy kits.

Antonia was cloned from the DNA of a ferret taken into captivity in Wyoming. Her name was Willa and she died in the 1980s, but through her DNA, one of the most endangered North American mammals will have a new genetic lineage that may help it one day recover into the voracious, adorable hordes that once roamed the North American Prairie.

The black-footed ferret program, run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, was the first time cloning was used as a conservation tool in North America. Antonia was one of three ferrets cloned in 2020. The others are named Noreen and Elizabeth Ann and live in a Colorado facility.

All black-footed ferrets are descended from seven individuals, resulting in unique genetic challenges to recovering this species. Cloning may help address the issues of genetic diversity and disease resilience in wild populations, as without an appropriate amount of genetic diversity, a species often becomes more susceptible to diseases and genetic abnormalities, as well as limited adaptability to conditions in the wild and a decreased fertility rate.

Once thought to be extinct and currently listed as an Endangered Species, black-footed ferrets were rediscovered by a Wyoming rancher whose dog dropped a recently deceased ferret on his doorstep. A small colony of 24 individuals was eventually located, which started the captive breeding program in which 7 reproduced.

I've seen videos like this in the past and they touch my soul. I don't know what it's like to be color blind. I have an ex girlfriend whose little brother was color blind but it wasn't really a topic that was discussed other than joking about throwing a ball to the wrong team or something.

Man Is Overwhelmed with Emotion Trying Color Blind Glasses for First Time - 'My God. This is Amazing' (WATCH)

This is the moment a man became overwhelmed with emotion after trying on colorblind glasses for the first time.

Kris Sipe, 47, who has been colorblind his whole life, bought the glasses on a whim without knowing whether they would work.

A video made by Kris shows him trying on the eyewear in his Tulsa, Oklahoma home and immediately becoming captivated by the colors around his living room.

“It was so overwhelming to experience for the first time,” he said. “I wasn’t even sure the glasses would work so to have everything changed so much was crazy to me. It felt like a big light had been turned on and everything was illuminated.”

Picking out the most colorful film he could imagine watching on his high-definition TV, Kris was delighted with the green of the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz.

“With my regular sight, the best way to explain it is that things are a bit duller and I don’t see exact colors,” he explains. “To me, a green traffic light just looks like a white light, and rainbows are just a yellow line.”

“I’ve been like this my whole life and when I couldn’t match colors in kindergarten, my parents realized what was up.”

Two minute video at the bottom of the article.


Also, if you're interested in other emotional types like this you can really get into a time suck on YouTube looking up videos like this where people are gifted glasses that do this, or the reactions from adults and children alike when they get their high-tech hearing implants installed and they hear for the first time ever, or in a long time, the clarity of the voices of those they love around them or even the reactions of parents or loved ones seeing their person hear for the first time. Then there are always the soldiers returning home from deployment. I really enjoy the pet reactions to those.

Something about this story just hits me. It's a shame he was discouraged to follow his dream as a youngster, but it's pretty cool what he's done since and the inspiration he may be providing others, like his daughter.

Dad Who Wanted to be a Pilot Builds Incredible Real-Life Simulator at Home - Now his Daughter's Obsessed (Watch)

An Englishman who was told he “wasn’t clever enough” to become a pilot has built an incredible $25,000 flight simulator in his home using spare parts—and now he and his daughter can ‘fly’ every day.

Craig Cullingworth spent two years building his accurate model of a Boeing 737-800NG cockpit with mostly second-hand parts he sourced online.

Now, using a computer program, he takes to the skies with his “obsessed” daughter, Sophie, from the comfort of their home in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The 40-year-old’s plan to create the replica came after his wife gifted him a simulator experience at a local flight center as a Christmas present.

He then bought a cockpit shell – with all the dials and levers found on the real twin-engine aircraft, and painstakingly turned it into a fully working model (seen in the video below).

He took his maiden voyage about three months ago, saying, “I always wanted to be a pilot, but at school I was told I wasn’t clever enough.”

“My wife got me a Boeing 737 experience because she knew how much I wanted to do it. It was the best experience of my life—and on my way home, I was searching how to build one.

“I found bits and bobs all over the country and started building it in my spare room after work, in a bid that one day I could get it flying.

“About three months ago, we did our first flight which I shared a video of on social media and gained lots of positive feedback.”
