Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.
