I recently ran across an article in the Japan Times that reported homelessness in that country is at record lows. The article, published last month, said there only are 2,800 homeless people in all of Japan. That’s the smallest amount of homeless people since Japan started recording the data in 2003, according to the article. Denver has at least three times that many homeless people.

The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on blood typically at night. They get that blood from humans or animals. You might not see any during the day because of their being nocturnal. They can hide well like in a small crack or inside the seam of a mattress. An adult bed bug can range from 3/16 to 1/4 inch long. It's pretty repulsive.
