On climate change, from this young wanna be meterologist. If at eight years young, he could figure this one out, which apparently no one else could for the past four years, I can't imagine what he will be able to do in his mature years.

Happy News
As of today I am on holidays til the new year. That alone puts a happy face on me at least. My plan for the next ten days is to blog only Happy Thoughts for this duration. This might not be easy, as the media focuses on the bad news for the most part. Today I will start off with something that I know is near and dear to many peoples hearts. Kid's and slurpees! As a diabetic, this one was a difficult choice for me as I am torn between my old love of slurpees and the knowledge I now have of the evil they are. But hey! They are only kid's once and we should allow them to be kid's and enjoy the finer things in life too. MMMMMMMMM.... Slurpees....
In cooperation with 7-Eleven, the Redlands Police Department wants to recognize and encourage good behavior among local youth. According to police spokesman Carl Baker, Redlands police officers will be "ticketing" youth they observe doing good deeds or exhibiting positive behavior through "Operation Chill."
The "Operation Chill" coupons are actually coupons good for a free 12-ounce Slurpee at any participating 7-Eleven store. Each officer in the department has been issued a supply of tickets and will be on the lookout for good behavior.
I think this is a great idea and I truely hope that 7-11 promotes this idea everywhere they have a store. As a matter of fact, I am going to fire off a little email with the link to this story to our chief of police Mike Boyd, as soon as I am done writting this post. Which is now.

A Great Kid
My faith in the human species just went up a few notches. Nathan Burditt, and some other thoughtful people in Manchester, New Hampshire is the reason.
A New Hampshire boy won the PlayStation 3 he donated to a school raffle. But Nathan Burditt won't be playing with this game. He plans to put it on eBay to raise even more money for two classmates who are battling cancer.
The raffle was held Monday and Burditt won the PlayStation 3. It came as a big surprise because Burditt never bought any tickets. Many people who were impressed with his generosity bought raffle tickets in his name.(emphasis mine)

UPDATE:
Another story of a young man, who's actions are commendable.
A woman who lost $24,000 in cash at a movie theater says she was stunned when the teenager who found the wad returned it.
