Up at the crack of dawn to go blueberry picking today -

The farm is about a 45 minute drive for me, and well worth it. :~)

Great news. All 12 boys & their coach have been found alive in the Thailand cave. Just waiting for the rescue.

Just waiting for the rescue.

Which could take a while.
The conditions for reaching the boys were described & "difficult" for even highly experienced cave divers. They are pumping water from the caves, but more heavy rains are expected in the next few days.

Prepare for an extended ‘blood moon’.

A LUNAR eclipse is nothing unusual. Usually. But the one due on July 28 is somewhat different. It will fall under the Earth’s shadow for four hours.

The eclipse totality — when the pall of Earth’s shadow completely blanks out what would otherwise be the Moon’s silvery surface — will last one hour and 43 minutes.

That will make it the longest Lunar eclipse to be experienced this century.

And most of the world will get to see it.
Cheers.

I noticed one of the stories on that site- the $55 million power ball winner from January has finally come forward.
Would have been nice just to get a part of that one. No such luck.

Tonight's Powerball is a estimated $70 million. Now that can buy a cruncher or fit out a existing farm.

All this international rivalry.
Is there some sort of championship going on?

It is even possible Carlos you might get a free beer out of it.

Joey "Jaws" Chestnut devoured a record-breaking 74 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes Wednesday at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, to win the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 11th time in the past 12 years and the third year in a row.

I'm just thinking of the salt in 74 hot dogs and buns. He'll need a fire hose for the water to get that our of his system!

Lions: 3 -- Poachers: 0
A pride of lions killed suspected poachers at a game reserve in Africa
A pride of lions killed suspected poachers at a game reserve in Africa.

According to Sibuya Game Reserve’s owner Nick Fox, a group of at least three poachers entered their property overnight on July 2.

An "anti-poaching dog" alerted her handler at about 4:30 a.m. Monday. During that time, the dog's handler heard a loud commotion coming from the lions. She wasn't concerned because it's not unusual to hear the lions overnight, so she brushed off the commotion.

They later learned the noise was likely the poachers being killed by lions.

A field guide found human remains the next day. "Clearly, the poachers had walked into a pride of six lions and some, if not all had been killed,” according to a Facebook post by Fox.

Rush hour today when the ATM machine handed out extra bills.
https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/rusning-nar-bank-delade-ut-extra-hundralappar
The offer - one extra hundred SEK bill in bonus at each bank withdrawal - lasted for an hour. The bank took the initiative in cooperation with a PR agency to get more to use the ATM, the only one in Överlida which has more than 500 inhabitants.
- If we do not have enough transactions, we may pay extra to the company providing the ATM service. Instead of sending money to them, we can give money to our customers, said CEO Tomas Andrén to Borås Tidning on Thursday.
