With so many restaurants and their staff struggling it’s always great to hear a story like this.
This one waitress named Gianna DiAngelo who works in Pennsylvania was completely shocked Saturday when a group paid their bill for $206 and then left her a $5,000 tip!!! And the best part of it all… she’s currently studying to be a nurse. What a great story all around.

When you think about it igloos shouldn’t work. A little hut made out of ice and snow in a very cold place that stays warm? But they do! Here’s how
Igloos are built out of bricks of ice. Unlike solid ice, which is a poor insulator for heat, all the compressed snow has more air pockets, making it a perfect insulator. All the cool air in an igloo goes to the bottom part and stays there. This means the upper area of the igloo remains warm. The heat is generated from body heat of the humans inside the igloo itself. Sometimes a small fire is use for heat as well.
Mind blowing! Eskimo life is the best.

Minutes ago, trucks filled with #coronavirus vaccines departed the @pfizer facility in Portage, Mich., headed for distribution centers and airports. Crowds who gathered outside the facility cheered the departing @FedEx and @UPS trucks. https://t.co/F29rcw6WcV pic.twitter.com/ZsTG2h5vJI

One of the many mysteries of man’s best friend. Why do dogs have whiskers?
The whiskers on a dog are very different from all the other hair that is on their body. Besides them being long and stiff, the whisker hairs are also packed with nerves in the follicles that go deep into their skin. When one of their whiskers brushed up against something or touches it, like someone’s hand or their food/water dish, it sends sensory information to the dog’s brain to help figure out what’s in front of them. Think of it like fingertips on humans.
The next time you’re patting a dog this will absolutely be on your mind.
