7:05 - National Junk Food Day. Each year, the day permits us to chow down on the foods we usually don’t include in our daily diet. Junk foods, by definition, typically contain high fats, sugars, salt, and calories and very little nutritional value.
7:15 - Mosquitoes can’t spread COVID-19. We’re roughly four months into the coronavirus pandemic, yet there’s still so much we don’t understand about SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). It could take years before we know all of the long-term health effects. Making matters worse, uncertainty about all the different ways one can contract the coronavirus remain. On a positive note, researchers from Kansas State University say there’s one less risk factor to worry about. According to their latest findings, mosquitoes aren’t capable of spreading COVID-19 to humans.
7:30 - Drive-Thru Difference
7:40 - Women have dirtier cars. A study suggests that more than half of all women go at least six months between washing their cars. The study found that about 56 percent of women surveyed let their cars go unwashed for more than six months. By comparison, 44 percent of the men surveyed were willing to go that long between washings.

8:30 - Baby alligator on Lake Taneycomo. On the night of Monday, July 21, 2020, Derek Marlin was guiding a fishing trip for his company, Firehouse Bowfishing, on Taneycomo when he discovered something strange floating near the top of the water. Using a net, they reached down to scoop it up. When the net came back into the fishing boat, Marlin saw that they had captured what he believes is a baby alligator. Now, they don’t believe it could've lived if they didn't pull it out of Taneycomo with that water being so cold. The baby alligator was most likely someone’s pet that they let go. The plan for the alligator to be found a new good home.
8:40 - Credit card verses Child. Paying the minimum balance on your credit card? It’s hard to imagine that paying it off that way would take decades but it will. Another way to look at it: Paying the minimum on a credit card with a $2,000 balance with 18% interest will take longer than raising a child — 30 years.
8:50 - Fun Fact: It’s huge and destructive and has an average lifespan of ten days. What is it? (The hurricane) #funfact
9:05 - National Be Someone Day challenges each of us to take ten seconds to make a difference in a child’s life. What can you do in ten seconds? We can shift gears or water a plant. We can hear or tell a bad joke. In ten seconds, we can change our minds, and after doing so, say a prayer of thanks. When we walk into a room, in that time, we can register the pain in someone’s eyes and begin to provide comfort. We can praise and honor someone who deserves it.
9:15 - Women’s gets same job as husband. When her husband wouldn’t stop complaining that he was too tired to help around the house, one woman decided to make him put up or shut up. She went out that day and signed up for the same job at a windmill factory that he does — and she’s determined to prove that all of his complaining is for nothing… The woman wrote on Reddit: “All my husband has done for the last 6 months is [complain] about how hard his job is. I get it, it’s physically demanding and a lot of walking, but it’s only 3 DAYS A WEEK. A few days ago I asked him to go for a walk with me and he said he was too tired. He’s too tired to do anything. I cook, clean, then go out and do Uber almost every day because his job is ‘so hard’ he can’t be bothered to do ANYTHING. It caused a huge blowout, so I took a trip down to the job recruitment center and they signed me right up for his exact same job. It’s a windmill factory. You go out and pick parts, load them on a cart, and take them inside. These parts can weigh anywhere from a few grams to 50 pounds. All he’s done for the last few days is tell me ‘you’re going to fail,’ ‘it’s going to be too hard for you,’ ‘you’re wasting your time,’ ‘you’re going to end up hurting your back again,’ etc. I have a whole drawer full of back braces, compression socks, and muscle relaxers, I’ll be fine.” … Now she wants a second opinion — was she wrong for trying to show up her husband at work?
- David Leong. The man credited with inventing Springfield-style cashew chicken has died. David Leong was 99-years-old. He passed away Monday night. Leong would have turned 100 on August 18. He escaped China for American Citizenship after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He enlisted into the U.S. Army in 1942. Leong served as a cook in the 4th Wing that stormed Omaha Beach. His Army buddies always told him they were the best fed outfit in Europe. They encouraged him to open his own restaurant. Southwest Missouri Congressman Billy Long later honored him with new medals from the war after Leong never received them. He moved to Springfield in the 1950s. He opened Leong’s Teahouse in Springfield in 1963. And the rest is history. The Teahouse stayed opened until 1997. He later opened Leong’s near Republic Road and Kansas Expressway.

Since reopening on July 1, The Bahamas has seen a surge of 49 news cases of COVID-19, making the total confirmed cases now at 153. The Bahamas’ Prime Minister held a press conference the other day to update Bahamians and tourists on the current state of affairs and major changes he is making to protect the country… One of the most drastic updates he is making: effective tomorrow (July 22) he is banning all international flights except for those coming from Canada, the UK and nations within the EU. This travel ban will most greatly affect travelers from the USA, who have been permitted to travel to the island since its reopening on July 1.
