He’s always there to greet the customers with a smile.  Also, if allowed, he’ll hop up on his back legs and lick their faces, sniff at their behind, and bark at the mailman.  No, it’s not some kind of publicity stunt gone wrong, it’s just Cody, the dog who works at a convenient store.

Cody’s owner, Karim Manour, started bringing the dog to work about five months ago during early morning shifts, and he’s proven to be such a big hit he’s been promoted from store pet to valued employee!  He’s even something of a celebrity among the customers of the Clearwater, Florida convenience store.  The chocolate Labrador Retriever is now a front-runner for employee of the year, thanks to his high customer approval rating. Here’s hoping he takes his next paycheck and gets himself pampered a little bit.  He’s earned a day at the spa and a nice dinner out.

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]
