During the pandemic a lot of people have been helping out those in need in all different ways. But when a child uses their own money they saved to help people it really just warms your heart.
This seven-year-old boy from Maryland named Cavanaugh Bell saved up enough of his own money to pack a 53-foot truck with PPE and other supplies. He then decided to deliver it all to a Native American reservation in South Dakota that’s considered one of the poorest places in America.
More of this in the world is what we need. Love it.

I’m more of a whole milk guy myself, but I’ll dabble in the occasional almond milk in my coffee if we have it in the fridge. The big question I always had was how on earth do they get that creamy delicious liquid out of those dry, hard, chalky almonds?!
I found out for you, thank to the fine folks over at thekitchn.com. You can even make it at home it turns out…
The process essentially involves soaking almonds in water overnight or for up to two days — the longer you soak the almonds, the creamier the milk will be. Drain and rinse the beans from their soaking water and grind them with fresh water. The resulting liquid, drained from the almond meal, is almond milk.

Paying it forward is always a good thing to do, but especially in the climate we are living in right now. We need all the positivity we can get. This story is just bursting with good vibes from all angles.
I think we’ve all been here before. A mom in Ohio named Brittany Reed ordered a bunch of food at McDonald’s, and then realized she forgot her purse at home. Always the worst feeling. When she tried to cancel the order, the kid working the drive-thru pulled out HIS debit card and paid for the whole meal with his own money. Brittany was so blown away by what happened that as a thank you she and her husband started a GoFundMe page to help buy him the car he’s been saving up for. And guess what? It’s now raised over $25,000!
Here is video from a local reporter who talked to Brittany about the story. Also, the kid’s mom who as you can imagine is very proud of her son.
You’ve probably seen it many times in your life. You’re at the beach catching some rays on vacation when all the sudden you notice letters slowly being drawn in the sky behind a plane and say “Did I have one to many Pina Colada’s or is this really happening? How do they do that?!”
It’s called skywriting, or skytyping, and it’s a creative way to advertise or promote whatever it is you want people to pay attention to. But how does it actually work? I found out for you.
Skywriting writes the letters in the sky by mixing something called paraffin oil into smoky plane exhaust. Skywriting is usually one plane writing up to six characters. Some skilled pilots can maneuver upside down if they need the smoke to make certain letters.
Skytyping on the other hand is a technique that uses smoke emitted in a series of bursts, like dots. They use a computer to map out the master plan and then electronic signals control the smoke output. The blurring of the smoke is what makes the desired end effect you see in the sky from your towel in the beach.
Pretty cool!
