The death of Randy Graff of Yankton, SD-Review Day 14

This isn't really a review for a news story but more of a response to something that happened to a friend of mine that is tragic and I want to do my own response to it.


On December 17, 2016, Mr. Randy Graff was strangled to death then thrown outside in -40F weather with snow on the ground...
Mr. Graff was a good, kind-hearted man who was only trying to help a friend whose son had strong-armed her out of her own house, and proceeded to have friends over to party. When Randy went over there to try and get them to leave, he was attacked and strangled until he was no longer breathing then cast out the front door and left to freeze and die. Mr. Graff paid the ultimate price that night trying to help a friend. Mrs. Graff was left with the heart wrenching weight of having to tell her 16 year-old son, Dylan Kuharski, that his father was not coming home that night, and never was going to.
Today, Dylan and his older brother Mike work at On the Border with me. I am good friends with Dylan and he is just like his father; into cars, kind-hearted, funny and protective. Dylan and I have been there for eachother and plan on continuing to be there for one another.

These 'Indesturctible' Animals Would Survive a Planet-Wide Apocalypse -review day 22

An Animal that can survive even up until the sun quits shinning? No... that can't be true. But it is. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are tiny water-dwelling creatures that are famed for their resiliency. They can survive for up to 30 years without food or water and can endure extreme temperature changes. WHAT?! No, not okay. They can even survive astrophysical events, like supernovas and asteroid strikes. I'm sorry but no way is that even possible! If they can survive all that, does that mean they can survive someone stepping on them? Are they completely impossible to kill? I'm only asking because tiny, eight-legged things resemble spiders, and I hate spiders.

NASA Prepares for Aug. 21 Total Solar Eclipse with Live Coverage, Safty Information-Review Day 19

For the first time in 99 years will the sun undergo a full solar eclipse that can be seen from all across the continental US. NASA is in full motion preparing for this event to show the eclipse from at least 65 different cameras; each giving a different and unique vantage point of the rare celestial event. NASA also plans on airing a multi-hour broadcast called Eclipse Across America: Through the Eyes of NASA that will be showing the eclipse live and giving information and coverage on activities in parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals and museums across the nation. I'm pretty excited for this event. Mostly because it is a once in a life time thing and I get to experience it with my family. We are actually going camping in Casper WY for it then coming back the next day to go to a Trace Adkins Concert at the fair.

Prince William Played Soccer With Small Childeren And It's Too Much-Review Day 20

Prince William, AKA the Duke of Cambridge, hosted a send off for the English women's soccer team. The whole thing mostly consisted of him playing soccer with a lot of young children and it is "Royally Adorable" says Allison Wild of BuzzFeed News. This really is quite adorable and it makes me so happy to see members of the Royal family getting out there and doing things like this with their community. In many on the pictures posted of the event, Prince William looks more like a coach than a prince and it is so amazing to see. Its on very rare occasions that you see important people doing things that put them in the position of a middle class person. It makes them so much more relatable to in the publics eye.
