I like a good Helen Keller joke as much as the next fellow, but this is almost glurge-worthy. While Helen Keller was truly amazing and inspirational How about some mad props for Anne Sullivan? Who the heck remembers her?

Pretty impressive! I had never seen that footage before.

I have to admit though that I wasn't carefully reading your intro, and expected some hilarious Helen Keller jokes at the link. I kept waiting for the punch line and it wasn't until about a third of the way into the video that I realized it was the real deal.

Wow.

Is it not time to make a movie about Helen Keller? It seems about the only way to get something important into the most people's consciousness.

They made one in the 60s, but I think Jerry Bruckheimer could really give us something more in tune with today's audience.

Also, while looking for the name of the Helen Keller movie ("The Miracle Worker," by the way,) I came across this fascinating trailer:

Squirell Nutkin's Friend's BIL played the infant Helen Keller in that movie.

I've watched that tornado video a couple times. it really is amazing. If you look up that TIV2 vehicle, it's impressive. Built like a tank with anchors that penetrate into the ground to hold it still.

Here's another video. I don't know how to embed it, so it's at this link. A couple of guys come across an angry bobcat in a foot trap and try to release it. I don't know the story. Did they set the trap or just stumble across it? I have no idea. Cool video though.

I did not know this happened... and suspect you didn't either !

That pretty cool! I notice he kept the drone in US airspce the whole time. He got right up next to the Canadian border, but never went across it.

This is from last Fall, but I don't remember seeing it here.

Very inspiring TED talk about how changing your body pose for just a few minutes a day can make you feel better about yourself and improve your life. And actually change your hormonal levels for the better.

Imma try to stop slouching.

Wow! J just told me about that TED last night. She was wondering whether she could find it again, since she watched it on Netflix. Watching now.
