MUDANE MYSTERIES: Why are highway signs always green?

MUDANE MYSTERIES: Why are highway signs always green?

I don’t know about you but I’ve noticed more cars on the road than ever. It feels like every weekend it’s more and more people out on the road. While sitting in traffic last weekend I wondered why are all the highway signs always green?

The green coloring is a way for the sign to simply inform the driver about something that’s coming up that they might need to know without completely distracting them on the road. The green helps it sort of blend in.

If you come across a sign that is bright orange, yellow or red those are usually meant to get attention and warn the driver about something. To stop, upcoming construction or anything like that.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Sky diver’s parachutes get tangled in mid-air, hug their way to safety

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Sky diver’s parachutes get tangled in mid-air, hug their way to safety

Sky diving has always terrified me. I’ve never had the urge like some people do to jump out of a plane. And stories like this one are why.

Two police officers were doing a sky diving drill in Thailand when two of their parachutes got tangled on the way down. The procedure for this and what they were instructed to do is to hug each other tightly in mid-air until you safely get to the ground. Terrifying but it worked and they both landed safely.

The video is incredible…

Raven’s Pet Pals – Meet Duncan!

Raven’s Pet Pals – Meet Duncan!

Meet Duncan, a sweet seven-year-old, 53 lb. lab/collie/pit mix with the cutest ears! He has had a very rough few months…his owners passed away and Duncan, along with six other dogs, were left to the remaining family members. Unfortunately, they neglected and abandoned the dogs in the home, where they were found dehydrated and starving, before being seized by animal control. Despite all Duncan has been through, this boy is a complete love!

This affectionate sweetheart enjoys nothing more than being with his people. He is friendly with everyone he meets and is always up for an adventure – he does great riding in the car too. Belly rubs and pets are his absolute favorite. Duncan has a gentle soul with a very “go with the flow” attitude. He’s happy to play a game of fetch, but also content just hanging out on the couch. 

He does great with other pups, cats, and would be fine with children of all ages, Duncan is a very good pup who walks great on leash and is both house and craterained. He’d prefer a house with a fenced yard to enjoy.

Duncan’s adoption fee is $350 and he is fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, and neutered. While in South Carolina, he had heart worm but has since gone through the completion of his treatment and is all better now. If you are interested in adopting this handsome boy, please complete the application at form.jotform.com/200883908893166.
