In The News:

 - National Hot Dog Day. One thing we want to know – is it a sandwich or not?

 - people who love to eat. A study says people who love to eat meat gain more weight.They needed a study to confirm this?

 - Remember the good old days, way back in February? It’s an odd feeling to be nostalgic for a time that just passed, but according to a new survey, many among us are worried the world will never return to its simpler, pre-coronavirus state. All in all, 75% of surveyed said they fear life will never return to what was once “normal.”

 - Fun Fact: Most arguments in the car are over… directions. #funfact

 - National Hammock Day.

 - Christmas came early to Canadian store. Christmas is coming early to a department store in New Brunswick, Canada. The store (a Canadian Tire in Moncton) has packed its aisles with Yuletide holiday products at the height of summer after it ran out of outdoor furniture during the COVID-19 pandemic. The location is essentially sold out of patio items, leading the store’s management to display Christmas items — much of it from last year — in its “seasonal” section.

 - A study of 4,000 Americans revealed that only 12 percent of us eat right.

 - New fathers gain weight. A study says men gain a few pounds after they become fathers. The study looked at information from more than 10,000 U.S. men who were followed from their teen years until their mid-30s. About one-third of the men became fathers during the study period and upon entering fatherhood, men living with their children saw a 2.6 percent increase in their body mass index (BMI). The average weight gain was just over 4 pounds.

 - Gondola restrictions. It is the dream of many to ride a gondola in Venice, Italy. With the town opening up for tourism again during the pandemic, some changes have been made. The capacity of boats has been decreased. It's not because of social distancing. Gondola operators say riders have gotten fatter over the years. The president of Venice's Gondola Association told CNN, "Over the last 10 years or so, tourists weigh more -- and rather than having them step on a scale before they get on, we are limiting the number." One gondolier told a local newspaper, "(Tourists) from some countries, it's like bombs loading on and when (the boat) is fully loaded, the hull sinks and water enters. Going forward with over half a ton of meat on board is dangerous."

 - The prison Guard was a Dummy. Two men escaped prison in Argentina after only two of the fifteen guard towers were manned. One tower had a crudely-made dummy inside which didn’t fool the prisoners. The dummy was made out of a football and a prison officer’s cap and placed in a tower.
