TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Random strangers sitting in traffic jam save highway from catching fire

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Random strangers sitting in traffic jam save highway from catching fire

Next time you are sitting in stopped traffic on 95 or The Merritt you are no doubt going to think of this story.

While people we sitting stopped in their cars on a major road in Oregon last Sunday, a small brush fire broke out on the side of the road in the grass. That’s when people in their cars sprung into action and started drenching the flames with any water bottles they had in their vehicles. Smart move! It worked, and the fire got put out prevented what could have been a pretty big disaster.

Next time your stuck in traffic make sure you’re aware of your surroundings.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does all the coffee come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does all the coffee come from?

We drink it every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. But where do we get all the coffee from here in the U.S.?

Funny enough, only two states actually produce coffee here in America. Hawaii and California. Which makes sense since you see a lot of Hawaiian and Californian blends. Otherwise, almost 90% of the coffee we consume here is imported, mostly from South America.

Cheers! I hope you’re cooling down with an iced today.

Raven’s Pleasant Paws Pet Center Pet Pals – Meet Kobe!

Raven’s Pleasant Paws Pet Center Pet Pals – Meet Kobe!

🐾❤️Kobe!❤️🐾

Due to no fault of his own, Kobe’s owner surrendered him to us. Kobe was adopted from a local municipal pound 7 years ago. He has lived with his family until entering his foster home with BARC.

This handsome low-rider loves people, and is a sweet, laidback boy. He tends to often times look like a real life Eeyore. He has the most soulful eyes, and is extremely gentle.

He is low energy and would thrive with someone who can be home with him often and give him lots of love and affection. He has some skin issues going on that we hope to help him get relief from. (BARC covers this).

According to his former owner, he is good with other dogs and children. Kobe lived with another dog (a husky), and also lived with a 3-year-old child. He currently lives with children, ages 5 and 7 in his foster home, and he is wonderful with them! He’s calm and gentle and never jumps on them. He is not at all bothered by their high energy. He wags his tail and rolls toward them whenever they pet and snuggle him. ❤️

Kobe’s foster mom describes him follows:

Kobe is the sweetest and easiest dog ever! A perfect gentleman! He is 110% mellow. He has not jumped up on anyone in our family, not even the day we met him. He doesn’t go berserk when there’s a knock at the door or people come home from going out (he doesn’t even bark or get up, just lifts his head and starts wagging his tail). He walks perfectly on leash – he could not be any better behaved! Even when people walk by with dogs, he doesn’t bark or pull. I warned my children about leaving their stuffies around, but he has zero interest. This guy doesn’t beg, he’s had no accidents, came preprogrammed with basic commands, and loves baths. Anyone would be so lucky to have this boy!

🐾 Age- Approximately 7-9 years old.
🐾 Weight- 73lbs.
🐾 Very kid friendly!
🐾 No cats.
🐾 House trained.
🐾 Crate trained.
🐾 Takes treats gently.
🐾 Walks well on leash. He’s so easy to walk and never pulls, even when passing other people and dogs.
🐾 Knows basic commands.
🐾 Neutered and UTD on vaccinations.

Kobe is being fostered in Marlborough, CT.

❤️❤️❤️

All of our dogs are rescued from within the state of CT and fostered by amazing families located in the state of CT. #adoptlocaldogs

Tuesday June 29, 2021:  Hottest or Coldest Job; Random Celebrations; Awkward Gift Openings

Tuesday June 29, 2021: Hottest or Coldest Job; Random Celebrations; Awkward Gift Openings

What’s the line between helpful and rude?  Anna spoke to a woman over the weekend who was very rude to her, but also ended up being a bit helpful too!  (:30)

Everyone celebrates birthday’s and holidays but what’s the random date you celebrate?  Raven has a slightly inappropriate date that he celebrates at a Denny’s!  (4:20)

Everyone wants to lose weight, especially at this time of year.  But if you resort to using this crazy device to drop a couple extra pounds, that’s all I need to know about you!  (11:11)

The AC unit in Anna and Raven’s studio has been broken for a few days now and everyone on the show is getting a little uncomfortable.  But Anna thinks that what Producer Sean has been doing to deal with the heat is inappropriate!  (14:41)

Should a homeowner be able to decorate their house and property any way they see fit?  A woman in California just won a lawsuit concerning her prehistoric lawn ornaments!  (18:28)

Do you think it’s weird when people open their gifts in front of people?  Anna is planning her friend’s wedding shower, and she thinks it’s time to get rid of this awkward tradition!  (22:15)

It’s HOT outside right now, but some people’s careers mean they are feeling it more than others.  Anna and Raven were wondering who has the hottest (or coldest!) job out there? (29:15)

Jeff and Rebecca are getting married and the guest list is getting a little out of control!  Jeff’s solution is nobody getting a +1 unless they are married, but Rebecca just says they need to make the overall list smaller.  Whose side are you on?  (36:06)

Scott thinks he has what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can he succeed and stop Raven’s winning streak early?  (43:27)
