    A homeless man rescued all the animals at a shelter after it caught on fire

    A homeless man risked his life to save several cats and dogs trapped at an Atlanta animal shelter after it caught fire, the facility's founder said.

    Keith Walker, 53, rushed into the W-Underdogs shelter on December 18 after a fire engulfed its kitchen.
    "I was nervous as hell, I'm not going to lie. I was really scared to go in there with all that smoke. But God put me there to save those animals," Walker told CNN. "If you love a dog, you can love anyone in the world. My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs."

    Pink seesaws at US-Mexico wall win design award

    While a wall is usually designed to keep people apart, this see-saw installation managed to bring people on both sides of the Mexico-US border together.

    And now the Teeter Totter Wall has won the 2020 Beazley Design of the Year award, which is run by London's Design Museum.



    The seesaws were placed through sections of the wall and allowed people in both countries to play together.

    Wartime love letters discovered under Scarborough hotel floorboards

    Two wartime sweethearts' love letters have been discovered under the floorboards of a seaside hotel.

    The handwritten notes and an array of objects dating back to World War Two were found during renovations at the Esplanade Hotel in Scarborough.

    The pair, whose names are unknown, declare their love for one another, with the man writing: "Oh darling I'm so lonely without you".

    Historians are asking for help to find out more about the lovers.

    Their letters were found underneath a small utility room on the hotel's first floor.

    Handwritten poems and other objects including ticket stubs, cigarette packets and chocolate wrappers were also discovered.

    Carren and I might be going back to Kenya shortly. Plane tickets are pretty cheap at the moment and Kenya just relaxed their travel restrictions.

    My son got his driver's license in early February, a pretty long road because:
    A) it took four years for him to actually agree to do it and
    B) Autism.

    Then today he got hired to load mulch and do local deliveries for a greenhouse. Now, whether he will stay employed is another matter (see B above), but for today we're going to celebrate this as awesomeness!

    On Monday, I got to be with my mom to hear from her oncologist that after 3 years, her stage 4 cancer remains stable.

    I also got to spend time w my dad while he recovered in the hospital from emergency surgery to fix a brain bleed. He left the hospital today for in-patient rehab and therapy. In the past few days he has been able to think and speak with more clarity & depth than we have seen from him in years.
