Well he's still doing it. Hasn't missed a day, he told today. People don't realize what I was going through when all this happened to me. He said. He was in the middle of separating from his wife and we're divorced now, but I was devastated from my whole life. I was either with my wife or kids, so this is the first time I was ever alone. Then the story about him never missing a day went viral. The viral video let his daughter Serena, to start a go fund Me so that Ford could travel to see his grandkids. She said a simple golf two hundred dollars, but the story inspired thousands of people around the world to donate. The go fund me got over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Actor David Spade became one of the top donors, giving Ford five thousand dollars. Many others donated twenty seven dollars. He still hasn't missed a day. Good news if you're into Roman erasaur words. They found four of them, their wooden and leather hilts and scabbards and steel blades exquisitely preserved after nineteen hundred years in a desert cave. Some archaeologists were doing their thing near the Dead Sea in a cave. They believe the four swords in the head of a javelin were stashed in the remote cavern by Jewish rebels during an uprising against the Roman Empire in the one thirties. You never know what you'll find. While digging, a Portuguese man stumbled upon a fossilized sauropod that might be the largest dinosaur skeleton ever found in Europe. The man was digging and he noticed these presence of several fragments of fossilized bones in his yards.
1:34 So he called in scientists and they have unearthed several quote important skeletal elements of a beast that may have been eighty two feet long. A paleontologist said, it's one of the biggest specimens discovered in Europe, perhaps in the world. It is not usual to find all the ribs of an animal like this, let alone in this position maintaining their original anatomical position. This mode of preservation is relatively uncommon in the fossil record of dinosaurs, in particular sauropods from the Porch's upper Jurassic. Hey, good news.

Three hours later people were swimming, but then the manager returned a few hours later to drop off supplies for the next morning's breakfast service, and the pool was yellow. She checked the security cameras, nobody had driven by. There were no cars in sight, and no one had walked past the pool or throwing something in. She called a detective because this kept happening. She told him it has to be a drone. The detective said, you might be onto something. The next day, the Galloway Police, in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration the New Jersey State Police in the Abscon Police Department, boy really tracked a drone as it flew from the Quality in to Comfort Solutions Heating and Cooling, a nearby business. There they arrested the owner, who has been charged with multiple accounts of criminal mischief and harassment.
