TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy Raises Thousands Riding A Lawn Mower Across The State of Florida

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy Raises Thousands Riding A Lawn Mower Across The State of Florida

If you’ve been to Florida before you know how far a ride it is to drive across the whole state. 130 miles to be exact.

Last week, a guy named Chip Hawthorne decided to drive a riding mower across the entire state of Florida. He was able to raise over $8,000 for Habitat for Humanity by doing it. He started his journey at 6am last Thursday on one coast and finished by 8pm on the other. Impressive! I wonder if he stopped to cut a few lawns on the way.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Can Bird Poop Ruin Your Car Paint?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Can Bird Poop Ruin Your Car Paint?

It’s happened to all of us. You walk out to get in your car and see that giant white spot. A bird pooped on your car. But can it actually damage your car? Turns out, yes. It can.

The bird poop itself, depending on how much, can ruin your car paint. The uric acid can cause pH levels in bird poop to range between 3 – 4.5. That’s enough to eat into your paint. The best thing to do is hopefully catch it earlier and clean it off as soon as possible.

Stay away birds!
