The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

This brightened my day. I hope it does the same for you.

It's all about Breast Cancer People!

Breast Cancer is all over the news this week! The medical world is up in arms about a government task force's new recommendation that women start getting mammograms at age 50, advice that goes against the American Cancer Society. I did a story about it last week for WSJM. You can read more about the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force's recommendation and what local doctors think about it here.
Since the task force released its findings, I've seen different groups address it in different ways. My favorite online news magazine The Daily Beast featured the topic as its Big Fat Story, and there's this awesome video out there now aimed at spreading breast cancer awareness! And, I was dying to share it with you all! Hope you enjoy!

People of Public Transit

I have to thank one of my readers for this one! People of Public Transit is a great follow up to the widely-publicized People of Wal-Mart. Like the Wal-Mart site, People of Public Transit takes photo submissions from readers on the crazy sites and sounds on city subways and buses. There's nothing like seeing something so unbelievable that you just HAVE to share it with your friends and family... or in this case the entire world wide web.

This site brings me back to my days in Washington, D.C., when I would ride the bus to WTOP before the morning commute really took off and my only company was a few homeless guys.

I don't know if anyone sees any characters like these on Berrien County's Dial-a-Ride or at one of the many area Wal-Marts. But, if you do... take a photo and e-mail it to me at christine@wsjm.com. I'll put them up here, and we'll all share in the local craziness for one day.

But for now... here are some folks from People of Public Transit.
