TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Restaurant Owner Wants To Help Person Who Robbed Him
Restaurant owners are consistently some of the most caring people you’ll ever meet. This story is a perfect example.
Someone broke into a restaurant in Augusta, Georgia last weekend and stole the register. The owner of the restaurant made the decision to try and give him a job if he comes forward instead of pressing charges. In his Facebook post he says “No police, no questions. Let’s sit down and talk about how we could help you, and fix the road you’re on.”
Amazing! I wonder if the robber will follow up.
Our burritos are such a smash hit we’ve got people breaking in at 4am for their fix. So if ya see our door looking…

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the difference between a book and a novel?
It all comes down to the amount of words. Books don’t need to have a fixed amount of words to be considered a “book”. While a novel must have no less than 40,000 words in the story or collection of stories. Anything less than 40,000 words and it cannot be referred to as a novel. Just a book.
So if you’re started to pen that epic novel you’ve always wanted to write, remember that word count… 40,000.
