The summer of 1947 has been called "the summer of the flying saucer." In the months of June and July alone, there were over 800 UFO sightings reported across the U.S. This rash of sightings began with a news story first reported in June of that year. While flying near Mt. Ranier in Washington State, pilot Kenneth Arnold observed nine "saucer-like" objects passing by at what he estimated was 1200 mph. The press picked up the story, and it became the first widely reported flying saucer story of its kind. In fact, the term "flying saucer" was coined in one of those early articles. The most famous incident during the same period was the reported crash and military capture of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico, on July 8th. Although the military quickly recounted that claim, the Roswell Incident became one of the most well-known and controversial events in UFO history. Roswell isn't the only small town where the crash of a UFO was reported that summer. There was also one in North Alabama....and this one had witnesses and wreckage.

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.

Our family has started volunteering once a month to walk rescue dogs, and it's been a really fun experience. We'd love for you to join us!. A few local volunteers support an amazing rescue that gathers rescue dogs from shelters in Texas and drives them up to Oregon for adoption. They need to stop in Denver to get the dogs out of their kennels for a break, and with around 75 dogs on the bus, they need volunteers to help! The bus stops in Fort Lupton, which sounds far away but is only 10 minutes from our house in Northern Thornton.

I know that I myself always run straight to the big chain stores for Christmas gifts each year. They run specials, gift card incentives, and so much more. But who am I actually helping? Isn't the Christmas season supposed to be about giving? This year I want to make a difference. Instead of running to Bath and Body Works for a candle, why not spend a few extra dollars and get one from Wings of Light Candle & Wax Co? Instead of ordering cookies from Publix, why not order them from Flamingos and Honey? Thats the type of difference I want to make this year. I want to know exactly who my money is going towards. I want to help someone local to me who is using their own small business to purchase gifts for their own family.

The average person never thinks the bad things they read in the news will ever happen to them, that is, unless they have been a victim of crime themselves. This is a lesson a Salem, OR mom learned the hard way when she left her car running with her two children inside while she went into a convenience store in the early hours on Nov. 8.
