Good news is busting out all over. A school fired the guards and used it for the arts - with an amazing turn around in the children. A woman's life is saved by her cat. The king of the prom gives his crown to the least popular kid in school. Sea Turtles are staging a comeback. Firefox will be using opt-ins for 3rd partie cookies. Gun crime is way down despite perceptions to the contrary. More states are declaring federal gun laws unenforceable. After a storm of protests, Nordstrom has stopped tracking shoppers through their smart phones. Texas is trying to protect its citizens from drone surveillance. Monica joins Katherine to discuss their respective quests for a chip free kitten. The pet store that Katherine had asked previously if they had chip-free animals finally had signs proudly proclaiming chip free animals. So Katherine found her new kitten.

What would you do if you saw an unmet need? Charles and Kyle saw elderly women waiting for hours at the bus stop without anything to sit on. In a brilliant flash they started making benches with a trove of books for the riders with the help of Upward Bound Mentoring program facilitated by Erik Simpkins and material from Reclaim Detroit and Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit. The city, which does not have the funds to do this, nonetheless are objecting to the help from Charles and Kyle. Please donate either money or books to help Charles and Kyle continue their mission. They can be sent to
