Did you know you can set your Apple Watch to text an emergency contact if it detects a hard fall?\u00a0 It\u00a0happened\u00a0to a 62-year-old guy in Washington state this month while he was riding his bike.\u00a0 His Apple Watch texted his son, who he was supposed to be meeting up with.\u00a0 Then it texted the son again after someone picked him up, and his location changed to a nearby hospital.\u00a0 Luckily he’s okay.\u00a0 The son says it was amazing to see the technology work.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n A 30-year-old guy named Kyler was at a State Park in Utah back in June when a BISON charged at him, GORED him, and trampled him.\u00a0 Kyler had a collapsed lung, broken ribs, and other internal injuries . . . but he survived. Well, on Friday he went on a date with a 22-year-old woman named Kayleigh and they went back to that State Park. And while they were walking around . . . a bison attacked Kayleigh.<\/p>\n She was trying to get out of the way of some bikers when a bison charged at her and flipped her up into the air.\u00a0 She wound up with a broken ankle and a huge cut on her leg where the bison gored her . . . but like Kyler, she survived.There’s no word on whether they’re going to go on another date.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Yesterday on “The View”, Whoopi said\u00a0her new white hair isn’t by choice, it’s because she’s in a new adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s “The Stand”.<\/p>\n The Stand is King\u2019s apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil.

A British Columbia man got a call from neighbors about a possible break-in and returned from vacation to find a group of raccoons had broken through his ceiling and ransacked the house.<\/p>\n He says the animals bored a hole through his wooden shingle roof to get into the garage attic, and from there were able to make their way into the house. The animals basically trashed the home– leaving their waste around, eating sugar, and damaging or destroying many valuable items– but somehow missed a pantry full of food.<\/p>\n BEAR BREAKS INTO CALIFORNIA HOME, RAIDS FRIDGE <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n You expect to maybe catch human intruders on your security cameras, not bears. A California family was watching TV at their vacation home, when they heard loud noises coming from the kitchen. They quickly found it was a black bear trying to take taco meat and ice cream from the refrigerator.<\/p>\n The bear’s feast was recorded by home security cameras. A Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the home and was able to drive the bear away. The family says the animal apparently got inside through an open garage door.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FAMILY’S RENTAL VANS RAIDED BY BEARS OUTSIDE TENNESSEE RENTAL HOME <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A Michigan family vacationing in Tennessee caught the moment a family of bears raided their two rental vans on camera. The family says they had only been at their rental house for less than an hour when the bears showed up. The family was unpacking the vans and the bears stole some Pop Tarts and other snacks from inside the vehicles, but otherwise left them undamaged. Nobody was injured.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WISCONSIN COUPLE FIND MYSTERY PYTHON LURKING UNDER PORCH <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you shudder at the idea of a raccoon making its way through your backyard, you’ll hate this story even more. A Wisconsin couple actually found a four-foot ball python living under their back porch. The home owners say they initially thought it was a toy, but then they saw the creature’s eyes moving. Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission officers took the snake into custody, and say it’s unclear if the animal is an escaped pet or if it was abandoned by its owner.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DO YOU USE MOST OFTEN WHEN DOING YOUR LAUNDRY?<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n 63% liquid detergent<\/p>\n 16% detergent pods\/ packs<\/p>\n 13% powder detergent<\/p>\n 4% N\/A- I don’t do my own laundry<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n NO CAPS:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n He writes that the Caps Lock function was invented for typewriters in the 1960s, so those typing out addresses on envelopes had a way of keeping upper case engaged without changing the number buttons into their upper-case counterparts, the dollar signs, and number symbols and all those.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Caps Lock was also used as a way to provide a difference between headers and body at the time as well, because on a typewriter, we didn\u2019t have all the font sizes and styles that we have at our disposal now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n James writes that now, the All Caps button is not only unnecessary, it also takes up a lot of valuable real estate on an already crowded keyboard.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2ND<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Kelly Ripa<\/strong>\u00a0 (49)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Efren Ramirez<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a046<\/strong>.\u00a0 Pedro in\u00a0“Napoleon Dynamite”<\/em>, the voice of Pedro in the\u00a0“Napoleon Dynamite”<\/em>\u00a0cartoon and . . . well, that’s about it.<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post season major league baseball kicked off with a lot of excitement in D.C. last night, especially when the Nationals’ Juan Soto hit to right field and the ball rolled under the glove of Trent Grisham.\u00a0 The error allowed the Nationals to take the lead.\u00a0 Chaos ensued with the sold out crowd.<\/p>\n (Washington Nationals 4 – Brewers 3.\u00a0 The Nats advance to the National League Divisional Series vs the L.A.
