I shopped at Publix tonight at Ormond Towne Square and saw this random act of kindness by a Publix employee. I took it quickly and I found out the employee's name later from his manager. An old man could not reach down to tie his shoe so not only did Gage tie the one but he did the other as well; all with a smile. I thought he should be recognized for his actions. Here is the picture I snapped on my iPhone.

They're calling it "the sweetest comeback in the history of ever." After going bankrupt in 2012, Hostess was acquired by Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. Now, with new management in place, Hostess products will be returning to stores on July 15 of this year, and boxes of 10 Twinkies will be priced at $3.99.

Sometimes dreams do come true.

The Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, decided it would be a good idea to really listen to the people, so he did what any self-respecting politician would do: he became a cabdriver for the day.

Welcome to the Catharsis Matchbook!

If you get in my way, there's a very good chance I'll sacrifice my first cup of coffee by pouring it over your head. The second cup will be used for victory-sipping and I will have NO REGRETS.

The awesome company behind this is Squeegee Cleaning Services of Chelsea, AL. Employees from the Alabama company dressed up as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Captain America, and dropped by to "hang out" with the kids during the work day. Superman can fly, but hey, we all need a day to relax every now and then, right?
