Hello! You've reached 1-900-Very-Famous...
Dear Corn Belt Farmers,
Light bulbs on a birthday cake.
What a difference that would make!
Plug it in and make a wish,
then relax and flip a switch!

🧡 The Very Famous Five 🧡
1. Came across a curious post in r/wedding!
Someone commented: “You are spreading negative energy. Why?”
2. I love these teens exploring an old McDonald’s! Fresh feelings…
3. This article from ATV Rider details unusual things — like a water fountain in the middle of nowhere — found in Glamis, a big stretch of sand dunes along the California/Mexico border used in many movies and for going wild in your ATV. It’s apparently the largest off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation area for sand dunes in the United States. Here’s a Bureau of Land Management map with lots of warnings that read “Danger Live Bombing Area Keep Out!”
4. While searching for something related to personals ads in The National Enquirer, a came across a 2015 blog post from my favorite kind of mid-years internet media: a blog started with valiant intentions. In this case, a self-described “humdrum stick-in-the-mud” 40-year-old woman asking the question “When did I become so boring?” In an answer to this question, she decided to start a blog to document her “efforts to try new things and become less boring”.
In this entry, she reads seven tabloid magazines and gives her thoughts. She dubbed this particular challenge the most difficult one so far!
5. And speaking of women, it’s now time for The Local Woman! What has she been up to this week?
☆ Her hairstyling career took off this week, thanks to a booking with Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco in Kansas City, Missouri
☆ She’s sharing stories at the local library of finding relatives she had never met in Mount Airy, North Carolina
☆ She placed top 5 in the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge’s Warm Lake Stage Race in Bend, Oregon
☆ She found her calling as a realtor, thanks to God and a change of heart after “30 years in the corporate world” in Dawsonville, Georgia
☆ She discussed her journey through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, crossing 1,800 miles of sea ice, wind, cold and polar bears, in 103 days at the Clarkson University Science Cafe in Potsdam, New York
