0:03 Caloroga Shark Media, And here's Johnny Mack with the afternoon traffic. If you're on the Ien, look out for a tank is blocking the highway. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Yeah, traffic was delayed on a Texas highway. A flatbed trailer was carrying a tank and it fell off. The tank, believed to be an M one to nine howitzer, fell from a flatbed trailer right around four o'clock on a Sunday. Good thing was a Sunday and not a weekday. You know, it's so frustrating to sit in traffic. It's annoying enough, But if I saw a tank blocking a couple of lanes, I'd be pretty annoyed. The local dot got the highway cleared by eight pm. Good job there. Hey, don't forget to check your spam. A Michigan woman was going through her spam saw a suspicious email, but she actually had won a lottery ticket two hundred and sevenety nine dollars. She she didn't realize she had been earning second chance drawing entries by playing certain online lottery games.

1:05 She was confused when she saw an email from the Michigan lottery in her spam folder saying she'd won two hundred and seven grand had changed. After looking into it, I figured out I had earned the entries. Then I checked three different times to make sure the email was real. She plans to use the prize money to pay bills. A California woman born without legs broke the Guinness World Record for skateboarding in the handstand position. That record now nineteen point sixty five seconds. Kanya said that breaking the record is one of the life changing career moments that have happened to me. It's so incredible for me to make histories for others to see have made an impact on others for generations to come. She has also appeared on TV shows including The Walking Dead and Hawaii five. Oh Hey, good news for the sycamore gap tree. You remember some idiot cut that down a couple of years ago.

1:49 The sycamore tree, which stood in a dip in Hadrian's Wall, had inspired artists and even appeared in Hollywood films. Eight new shoots were found growing up from its base, giving hope that the tree is going to live on. The regrowth was spotted by Gary Pickles. He's a ranger for the local National Park Authority. Gary Pickles said, I was first at the scene when the tree was discovered feld and I remember saying hurriedly that it was gone. Now I hope I can say it's back. The local conservation center also has seeds that they grabbed from the tree right after it was fallen, and no seeds could be ready to plant within the next two years. Let's hope those shoots take Stay with me here. Police responded to reports of a headless body on a New Zealand beach. Oh no, Johnny Mack, what kind of podcast is this?

2:30 Don't worry. It was actually a life sized, realistic doll. Alice was walking down the beach with her dog and I just sort of froze and felt sick. I could see it was definitely the shape of a torso face down, and I could tell it was a woman's figure. I could see it had figernails and the toes were really realistic, so it looked like a human figure. And then I saw one of the cops nudget with his foot and I thought, he's not gonna nudget if it's a body. Once they flipped the doll over, they figured out what kind of doll it was. I'll leave it there. Those your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program and tell a friend about it, they might like it too.
