1. In the Los Angeles suburb of Sierra Madre, a woman napping in
her back yard was attacked by a bear, but reportedly fought it off with her
laptop computer.
*** Apparently she aimed the
built-in camera at the wild animal, and as soon as its image appeared on the
screen she hit “Delete.”
2. To avoid coronavirus, Russian President Vladimir Putin is not
only working from home, but he also installed a special entry passage in which
visitors walk through a fine mist of disinfectant. *** Scientists have not yet confirmed the
effectiveness of the mist in killing the virus, but Mr. Putin’s tailor says it
does a great job of taking out wrinkles.
3. Relations between North and South Korea continue to
deteriorate, and on Tuesday North Korea used explosive devices to demolish a
building that had been used to improve communications between the two sides. *** Apparently,
because of limited access to the Internet, that’s the North Korean version of clicking
“Unfriend.”
4. As Americans continue to be concerned about the nation’s food
supply, there has been renewed interest in the 1930’s recipe for “depression
cake,” which can be made without milk, butter or eggs, and is surprising tasty. *** And these days it’s usually served with a
scoop of “anxiety ice cream.”
5. Yesterday was National Bourbon Day, and I celebrated it all
day long.
*** I don’t know when National
Aspirin Day is, but I started celebrating it first thing this morning.
