0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Okay, there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Good news if you've been waiting to take out the book Lombardi Winning is the only thing you might have been waiting since nineteen seventy three, because that's the last time it was checked out of the Benson Memorial Library. Well, it's back, and it came with a donation to cover the fine plus interest. Jessica is the library's executive director and said it was a huge surprise. The staff text had let me know. We were all floored by it. The person that took the book out no longer lives in the area, but stopped in during a visit several weeks ago. Out of the goodness of his heart. He brought the book back after he found it while going through some things. If the library collected fines, it would have cost almost two thousand dollars, but it seems that they are waving the fines. Jessica said, it's been so nice to share his love of library. Even fifty one years later, he still remembers the library and appreciates these services. We provide congratulations to David and Jennifer.

1:03 They took on the Guinness World Record for hanging up ten items of clothing. They did that in fifty one point eight seconds. The previous record was fifty seven point eighty seven. David said it took several practice attempts, as well as a few failed official attempts before they were able to get it down to fifty one to eight. We hugged, we kissed, and then we collapsed from exhaustion. Am I delusional? Ten items in fifty one seconds doesn't sound like crazy? I feel like you could break that one if you wanted to. A vinyl record recording from a couple's nineteen sixty six wedding was returned to the family It had ended up at a Texas thrift store. Kate bought a record from a thrift store in Austin. She opened it, she was expecting to find a recording from the Modern Jazz Quartette. She instead found a recording of vows, prayers and cheers from a wedding. The record was labeled Phil and Donna's Wedding. Katie explains, we put it on we instantly connected with the record. Wanted to make sure it found its way back to the family because it was in a different sleeve, so we anticipated it's probably missing its owners. The story made the media, Donna's daughter found it. Apparently, the couple had been married in California in sixty six before moving to Austin. They had an estate sale when they moved from Austin to Denver in twenty twenty two. The record must have been sold as a result of being misplaced in the wrong sleeve.

2:19 Donna said, we had a large record collection. Somehow our wedding vinyl made its way into a jazz cover. Makes me wonder what other treasure we left behind. Was happy to find out that her favorite actress, Kate Winslet, helped the girl fulfill her visual bucket list. Kate donated five thousand dollars so Lily Ray could see the Northern lights, and then also invited Lily Ray and mom to join her for a night at the theater in London. Lily Ray has starguart disease, an inherited condition that causes blurriness in the central part of the eye. Her mom, Emma, set up a go Fundme to help her daughter enjoy as many visual experiences as possible before her sight worsens. Emma the mom says, Kate was very, very welcoming. Sounds like a funny thing to say, but she was just normal, very humble. Kate Winslet also range for the girl to tick another item off her list, which is feeding tigers.

3:05 They did that at the Noseley Safari Park in Prescott, England. Good news. The police in Japan have caught the shoe thief that was on the loose at a kindergarten. Turns out as a weasel. Yeah, an actual weasel, Not like a creepy guy stealing shoes at a kindergarten, which would be terrible and probably would make this podcast. This is an actual weasel. A weasel with a tiny shoe in its mouth was spotted on video footage after police installed three cameras in the kindergarten. The deputy chief says, it's great it turned out not to be a human beating. I agree. The vanic shoes were all slip onds that the children wore indoors, stubbed in cubby holes near the door. About fifteen of them had been taken before the police were called, then six more taken the following day. The weasel returned November eleventh to steal one more experts say the shoe loving weasel only took white indoor shoes made of canvas, likely because they're like to carry.
