NO ONE’S HOME– OR SO HE THINKS.
OUT OF NOWHERE RADKE SPOTS 12-YEAR-OLD DEEZEL JUST SITTING ON THE COUCH SURROUNDED BY SMOKE.

WATCH AS A KAYAKER’S PEACEFUL JOURNEY DOWN A NORTH CAROLINA RIVER GETS INTERRUPTED BY A VERY CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALLIGATOR
THE MAN WAS NAVIGATING A SWAMPY SECTION OF THE WACCAMAW RIVER WHEN THE ALLIGATOR JUST SHOWED UP, SLAMMED INTO THE KAYAK’S SIDE, AND TIPPED THE KAYAKER INTO THE WATER
LUCKILY, THE MAN WAS ABLE TO GRAB A TREE BRANCH TO AVOID BEING TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
HE SAYS THE CLOSE CALL LEFT HIM WITH A DIFFERENT APPRECIATION FOR ALLIGATORS.
EVER WONDER WHAT THE WORLD LOOKS LIKE FROM A BUG’S PERSPECTIVE?
RESEARCHERS IN WASHINGTON STATE HAVE DESIGNED THIS GO-PRO CAMERA THAT CAN FIT ON THE BACK OF A BEETLE.
IT CAN BE REMOTELY-CONTROLLED FROM UP TO 400-FEET TO PIVOT IN EITHER DIRECTION.
AND THE CAMERA ALLOWS USERS TO HAVE A BUG’S EYE VIEW OF THE WORLD ON THEIR SMARTPHONES.
RESEARCHERS HOPE THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE USED TO EXPLORE THE PLACES THAT ONLY INSECTS CAN USUALLY REACH.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A GOOD HUG?

SHE SAID HER CHILDREN HADN’T HUGGED THEIR GRANDPARENTS IN MONTHS
