We talk about “The good in this” a lot during this segment every day. Meaning that even we you go through really difficult times, like a worldwide pandemic, there is always good that can come out of it. This is a perfect example.
Since the start of the pandemic there has been a record number of students applying to become nurses. One new report out of the U.K. says that applications are up 32%. There has also been a big spike here in the U.S. too.
A wonderful reminder that we have so many great people willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to help each other.

After yesterday’s historic mission by NASA to land on Mars I figured we would tackle one of the most mysterious things about the planet. Why is it red?
A lot of the rocks on Mars are full of iron. So when they are exposed to air and the outdoors they tend to oxidize and get that reddish color. Same reason your bulkhead or an old bike left outside would get rusty. When the dust from the rusty rocks starts to peel off and get in the atmosphere the sky around Mars starts to look pink.
Maybe one day we will all be able to go see it up close in person!

What’s happening in Texas right now with this crazy winter weather and power outages is so very sad. Luckily there are good people willing to open their doors and help their fellow Texans.
In Houston one store owner who runs a place called Gallery Furniture is letting people stay overnight to get out of the cold. He goes by the amazing nickname “Mattress Mack,” and he’s actually known for doing good things like this in the past. He did the exact same thing using his stores as shelters after Hurricane Harvey hit the area hard back in 2017. Then the same year, he served Thanksgiving dinner to 5,000 people.
It’s obvious that Mattress Mack is just an all around good person. Snow storms, hurricanes, power outage, doesn’t matter. He’s always willing to help. Love it.
