Heroic on-air rescue ...
Tony Atkins, a reporter at the
Orlando station, WESH 2,was broadcasting live from a flooded intersection early
Thursday morning. When he noticed a sedan behind him had stalled in the
floodwaters, he paused his report and waded in waist-high water over to
its driver. Hanging off the side of her car door, nurse Tonya
McCullough handed Atkins her purse, which he dutifully held above the
water, and climbed on Atkins' back. When they reached a safe spot,
Atkins carefully set McCullough on her feet and she quickly headed off
to work — she was driving to begin her shift when she got stuck in the
flood — and Atkins calmly returned to his report. McCullough caught up with Atkins on Friday
and dropped off thank-you letters from her grandchildren for saving her
from the storm. Oh, and all of this happened during Atkins' first time covering a hurricane. Talk about service journalism!
A feel-good.

"What
is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side
near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it
mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?” “Real
isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens
to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play
with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “Does it hurt?” asked
the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always
truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen
all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?” “It
doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a
long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break
easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved
off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very
shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real
you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Thanks for coming by today

It's hard to accept that borders became so strict again. When we joined the EU we were so relieved that some borders nearly didn't exist anymore. That was such a good time. And now?
Your collages always come to the point.
Thanks you, Elenor. It was so depressing as is the reality.
But, I think I can meet the topic and use color as well?
Wouldn’t be nice if borders were respected and we did not have to worry that some oligarch would be disrespectful? :-)
Thank, John. Yes, indeed. I agree.
Seems a new one appears regularly?
