Inspirational Friday

Is it a bird, plane, no it's a puppy. The Parker family was stopped at a red light while driving home on Sunday night when they noticed something on top of of a train. At first they thought it was a bag of trash, but it started to move and that is when they realized it was a puppy. The Parkers called 911 and followed the train until the fire department rescued the 3-month-old black lab pup. The puppy traveled from Pennsylvania to Georgia. Someone must have put the puppy on top of the train and now the puppy belongs to the Parker family. They name her Boxcar Hunter or Boxy for short. She appears to be healthy and happy to be off the train.

Have you ever been bumped off a flight or had delays at the airport and felt trapped in a noisy airport? Well finally a remedy! They are called sleep boxes. The sleep box is a mini-hotel that is portable. Two young Russian architects have succeeded in the development of giving a person a chance to take a nap in a sound proof and air conditioned mobile hotel unit. They are installing them in the Fiji Islands and Spain airports and hopefully around the world soon. It will cost $10.00 an hour. This is also a great place where transit police and foreign exchange students can get a quick rest.

A message in bottle does it work?  A Canadian man has tossed more than 4, 800 of messages in a bottle as a hobby and received 3,100 replies. He started his hobby in 1996 and he has received responses from Russia, Iceland, Holland, U.K., Florida, Africa and the Bahamas. He also gets from his bottle message responders Christmas cards, gifts and souvenirs. Harold is 58-years-old and has become a living legend in Prince Edward Island Province in Canada. He has also displayed some of his letters in "Ripley's Believe it or Not" museum. He sends 200 bottles a week and states "he doesn't think he will ever stop."
