Cash Left in Tux

Shaun Freeman, from Oklahoma City and owner of a military surplus business, reported to channel 4 news that he had seem to miss place a very large amount of money.  He couldn't seem to remember where he put it and as he went through, trying to think of where he could have left it he remembered renting a tux for one of his friends "Dia De Los Muertos" parties.  He called the tux rental company and they said that they already had delivered it to the dry cleaners.  The women on the other end of the line shortly after their call rushed down the street to the dry cleaners and searched the tux they had earlier dropped off.  Christina, the lovely attendent on the other line thankfully found $1200 cash wadded up in the pocket off the pants.  Shaun said he was so thankful and was suprised everyone was so honest.  He did no lose a cent in this process.

ALCS

Sunday night was game two of the American League Championship Series between the Boston Red socks and the Detroit Tigers.  The whole game was dominated by the Tigers and many home runs and players running up the score.  The Red Socks trail 5-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning with no hope or energy coming from their dugout until the bottom of the 8th inning.  Big Papi(David Ortiz) game up to bat with the bases loaded and hit a booming grand slam to tie the game at 5 going into the 9th.  Their mojo continued in the field getting out of the top of the 9th with no damage done.  In the bottom of the 9th inning.  David Ortiz comes up to bat and hits a walk off solo home run for the win.  Hopefully their mojo carries them through the rest of the playoffs.

Warm Waters Cause Limited Space for Sea Mammals

In the Arctic Seas the climate is causing the waters to warm up.  Walruses and other Sea mammals come out of the waters and onto land or floating ice chunks to warm up.  Today with the waters warming up it make the walruses and other sea creatures very cramped on the ice chunks and little islands.  In 2011, scientists recorded 30,000 walruses beached in less than a mile stretch.  In 2013 the polar ice cap reached the sixth lowest covering in history.  People have been coming in and taking away walruses in mass groups, but they need to be careful because if a plane flies over and spooks the animals, a stampede could happen causing many little animals to die.A little bit after their efforts to remove animals from the area deadly sicknesses broke out among the animals.  People think it started in Russia but it killed a big group of the Walruses.  Now these animals are protected and reservations have been made for them.

Four Upgrades that Will Kill Your Home Value

Usually upgrades to your home would increase the value.  Not in this case.  Here are five things that would decrease the value of your house.  Number one reason in no order is converting bedrooms into other rooms for storage or anything else.  If you list your house on the market as a 3 bedroom house and the potential buyer come in and sees two bedrooms and another room with boxes in it, that doesn't look good on your part.  Second are hot tubs because some people find them gross, expensive to maintain and hard to remove once installed.  Third is colored trim and wall with any kind of texture on them.  This is because if you wanted to remove one of these you cant just simply paint over them, you would need to sand it all down.  Fourth is a children's styled bedroom.  Money spend on colorful paint, funny shaped ceiling fans and unique carpets is money you wont get back when you sell the house.  Lastly too much landscaping, because it will cover up the beauty of the house its self.
