No, it’s not for Halloween, but a family’s basement has been filling with blood for weeks in Iowa. The family discovered “five inches of animal blood, fat, and tissue from a neighboring meat locker” that “seeped into the basement through a floor drain.”<\/p>\n
The homeowner says it started October 3rd<\/sup> and it hasn’t let up since. He says he and his family are staying with nearby relatives and hoping for dry weather soon, as the mess can’t be cleaned up until it stops coming up the drain. An environmental specialist suspects a blockage in the tile line that connects the drains as the cause. The meat locker, now pumping bio waste into a holding tank, has offered to help with cleaning costs.<\/p>\n

Longer Worldwide . . . <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a guy named Mats Jarlstrom in Beaverton, Oregon, near Portland.\u00a0 And back in 2013, he was FURIOUS when his wife got a ticket from a red light camera.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He got the ticket 0.12 seconds after the light switched from yellow to red, and he believed she didn’t have enough time to make it through the intersection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mats is originally from Sweden, and he’d studied electrical engineering there, so he went to the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying to argue that yellow lights should be extended.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They ignored him, and fined him $500 for not having a professional engineering license.\u00a0 That put a stop to his quest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well . . . a federal judge overturned that fine earlier this year, so the mission was BACK ON.\u00a0 And now Mats has taken his proposal to the Institute of Transportation Engineers, which sets the official traffic light guidelines for 90 countries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He is proposing that, based on modern roads and cars, it makes sense to extend yellow lights from 3.2 seconds to 4.5 seconds.\u00a0 And if they accept his proposal next year, yellow lights around the world could get longer.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

a 10-mile race earlier this month in Minneapolis.\u00a0 And instead of having his name printed on his bib, he had it say “Jesus Saves.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, around the eighth mile of the race, Tyler COLLAPSED.\u00a0 It turned out he had an undiagnosed irregular heartbeat, which caused him to have a HEART ATTACK.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But Tyler was saved . . . by Jesus.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Literally.\u00a0 A 43-year-old guy named Jesus Bueno from Lakeville, Minnesota was running behind him.\u00a0 And Jesus is a registered nurse.\u00a0 So he stopped running, told someone to call 911, and started performing CPR on Tyler.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He kept Tyler alive until the paramedics got there, and they used a defibrillator to get Tyler’s heart back into its regular rhythm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tyler wound up breaking five bones in his face when he fell, but he says he feels grateful to be alive . . . and thankful to Jesus and all the other strangers who helped save his life.<\/p>\n

my body through the years, and knowing what it needs, and I don’t like listening to anybody tell me how to work out.”<\/p>\n The “mind-body” thing came up, and I enjoyed his answer to that. \u00a0He said, quote “Keeping my mind healthy is a whole ‘nother animal.\u00a0 I’ve always been a bit of a BASKET CASE. \u00a0[I] try to meditate, I try to pray.”<\/p>\n He added, “But I will say that [working out] keeps me from going crazy.\u00a0 This is my sanity, getting here every day for about an hour-and-a-half and getting at it.”<\/p>\n When they finally got to his fridge, he pointed to the eggs that he eats every morning . .\u00a0 plus his avocados, tomatoes, and all-natural almond butter.\u00a0 He also made sure to let us know that he eats TWO lunches every single day.\u00a0\u00a0(???)<\/strong><\/p>\n And then it got real, when they showed his massive bag of M&Ms and asked if he ever eats “unhealthy.”\u00a0 Quote, “If I’m gonna be really bad I’m going to eat that whole bag of M&Ms and then if I’m done with that, I get the old school fudge pops.”<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n CHRIS

I just wrote my butt off, man, and I asked the heads here at the label, I was like, ‘If I can get it done, can we put an album out in 2019,’ and they’re like, ‘Yeah, if you can get it done, no problem! No stress either way, it’s cool,’ and so I just went to the drawing board and did what I do best which is make music.

\nabout 22 lbs of chocolate, per person, per year.
\n\u27a2 Most cocoa comes from West Africa.
\n\u27a2 Allowing chocolate to melt in your mouth produces a similar reaction to that of a passionate kiss.
\n\u27a2 Cocoa beans were used as currency by the Mayan and Aztec cultures. Perhaps this is where they saying \u201cMoney grows on trees\u201d came from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
