'We’re going to keep our promises'

The road has always held a powerful place in music, embodying the spirit of escape, adventure, and the endless possibilities that lie just beyond the horizon. Across genres, the word “road” conjures a sense of liberation from life’s everyday struggles, an invitation to the unknown where the future is unwritten. Whether in rock, pop, or country, the road isn’t just a physical path—it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and the freedom to leave the past behind. This theme has inspired countless artists, giving us songs that tap into that universal desire to break free and discover something new, something better.

When a Canadian professor lost his class ring while splashing around in Barbados with his son, finding a needle in a haystack must have seemed like a breeze by comparison. Yet miraculously, after 47 years of tumbling about in the surf, sand, and shells, the man celebrated his 83rd birthday by slipping on his MacMaster […] The post Sunken Class Ring Returned to Canadian Who Lost it in 1977 off Barbados Coast appeared first on Good News Network.

Welcome to the Wednesday Cats of Catster! Every month, we ask our cat-loving Catsters to weigh in on a new topic. This week, we asked them: What’s Your Favorite Thing About Your Cat? What Are Your Cat’s Favorite Things? Here’s what they had to say: Crystal & Ivy Just like we humans have our favorite things, our kitties do, too! Here are a few of Ivy’s all-time favorites. As we all know, cats LOVE sleeping. And as they age, they spend even more time sleeping. With this being said, Ivy is big on her sleep! She absolutely loves sleeping late in the mornings. Most days, I’m up and at ‘em by 08:00 am. Ivy only rolls out of bed around 11:00 am! During this time, she is not to be disturbed. As in, at all. Sleeping Beauty She also has two favorite spots on the bed – either on my face or between my legs. She’s definitely made me change how I sleep, but even if I’m uncomfortable, I love that she still sleeps with me. I thought this would be something she’d grow out of, but thankfully not! She also enjoys cuddling but, in typical cat fashion, only on her terms. Another of Ivy’s absolute favorites is a treat called ‘Biskitty.’ My fiance started a morning ritual that involves Ivy jumping on her cat tree and then receiving a couple of bum pats – and, of course, a couple of Biskitty treats!   The ‘You Forgot My Biskitty’ Stare Even on days when my fiance is away for work, she expects her bum pats and treats. She would get up from bed (eventually), run over to the cat tree, and meow – all whilst giving me the ‘death stare.’ Also, if I forget to put the treat container away, there’s a 100% chance that she will attempt to open it by knocking it over (she has succeeded a few times, resulting in the treat container now being kept out of cat-reach). Pretty sure she’d put one of her nine lives on the line for just a crumb of Biskitty! She’s never really had much interest in traditional cat toys available at pet shops. After spending a rather questionable amount of money on tons of different toys, we discovered the fan favorite: ping pong balls! Ivy waiting for her ping pong ball to be thrown. Simply bouncing the ball on the floor is enough to get her full attention! We live in a double-story townhouse, with the second story being a loft. When we play together, we throw the ping pong ball up to the loft from the ground floor, resulting in a mad dash to the top from Ivy, to chase down the ping pong ball. On some nights when she’s feeling particularly wild, she would chase the ball around in the loft for what feels (and sounds) like hours! Very noisy, but very cute! She’s a simple girl, really! Snoozing, treats, and ping pong balls are a very small price to pay for the unconditional love and laughs she gives us! Isabel & Milly Milly and I actually have a lot in common for two gals from different species. For example, Milly loves eating whenever she’s presented with a snack. I, too, have seldom turned down a food offering. Milly loves lying stretched out in the sun. She even knows which rooms get the best sun at specific times during the day. Milly sunbathing Similarly, I enjoy spending time in the sun, tanning, doing yoga, or gardening. We’re both sassy, independent, not big fans of crowds, love to Netflix and chill and we’re both obsessed with each other. Let me tell you more about Milly’s other favorite things. Milly’s favorite cat tree spot Firstly, her favored nap spots. Her cat tree has this half-pipe, cylindrical spot which she has claimed as her favorite spot of all time. It’s positioned right by the front window with the most beautiful views of mountains, a golf course, large gardens with a walking path below which sees many a furry and human passerby, and a diverse collection of birds frolicking about. A new, but strong contender for her favorite napping spot is her Hepper Nest bed conveniently positioned on my desk where I spend most of my day. She loves being by my side while I work, I even have a small duster on stand-by to sweep my desk 5-10 times a day because she prances around my setup around 5 out of the 8 hours a day I’m there. Milly working with me in her Hepper Nest bed She was really impressed when I placed the Nest on my desk. She gets to be close to me and petted while I work, and I get to actually see my screen without clouds of cat hair floating around. It’s a win-win. My favorite thing about Milly is knowing she wants to be close to me even though she’s not the most affectionate or cuddly cat. She chooses me every day, and that’s an incredible honor. Catch me and Milly next time to read more about her favorite things about being a cat and my favorite things about being a cat owner! Wes & Raphy My favorite thing about Raphy is his presence. Now, I don’t mean that in the way you might think. Raphy just LOVES being around us when we’re home, and I find it the most wonderful companionship. If I’m sitting on the floor, he’ll come and sit on the floor next to me. If I’m on the couch, he’ll curl up on the next seat. And if I’m in the bathroom…well…the less said, the better! Will he act disinterested? Sometimes. But I know deep down, just by him being there, that he loves me. Sometimes, when Raphael wakes from a lazy nap in the middle of the day and gets the urge to hang out with us, he won’t be able to find us. Before you can slow-blink, suddenly he’ll be wailing: “meow! “meow!” Loosely translated, I think that means: “Hey! Where is everyone?!” We’ll shout back: “Raphy, we’re in here!” With a little “merp” of surprise, he’ll come speed-trotting in the direction of the directed directions. As he joins me in whatever mundane task I’m whiling away the hours on at that moment in time, his presence always makes me reflect on the fact that we’re so lucky to have these silent (and sometimes not so silent), companions in our lives. Just happy to be a part of our day. The post Favorite Things: The Wednesday Cats of Catster Weigh In by Catster Editorial Team appeared first on Catster.

The New Bedford Fire Department in Massachusetts got unexpected visitors on October 30 – a dog and three goats wandering loose near one of their fire stations. “Shortly after 4:00 this afternoon, members of Engine 5 observed a mother goat and two baby goats walking on Acushnet Avenue,” The Fire Department shared on Facebook on October 30. “They were accompanied by a dog, possibly a St. Bernard.” The “visitors” reportedly did not have any human companions and the firefighters got concerned for the animals’ safety. The Fire Department recounts, “With assistance from a neighbor walking his own dog, placed a leash on the mother given to them by the neighbor, and walked the goat inside Station 5.” They added that after the mother goat was walked inside the fire station, her two baby goats followed her into safety. Furthermore, the neighbor was able to successfully secure the dog who was accompanying the goats. When the animals were placed into safety, the firefighters at the New Bedford Fire Department called Animal Control for assistance. “The goats were placed in a fenced in area behind the fire station until they were returned to their home, which is located a short distance from Station 5,” the Fire Department revealed. “Great work members of Engine 5 and the gentleman who assisted, you’re the G.O.A.T!” Some users couldn’t help but be amused by the incident. One Facebook user wrote, “What a funny and wonderful story to read first thing in the morning. Great work firefighters at Station 5!” “Goats were just trying to get in on that trick or treating a day early so they get the good stuff  but seriously I’m glad they’re safe and returned home well done,” another wrote. And while the three goats were returned to their owner, people were still wondering if the dog that accompanied them was returned to its owner as well. This is because the Fire Department didn’t share any update on its safe return to its owner. Hopefully, the goats’ furry friend got home safely after their little rendezvous in town together!
