youtube Chimp in Sweden Stockpiles Rocks to Hurl at Zoo Visitors Later
Yesterday
A few years back, Santino, a chimpanzee at a zoo in Sweden, made big news. He was gathering rocks in the morning, storing them and then later in the day he would hurl them at unsuspecting people enjoying a lovely day at the zoo.

Feng Li/Getty Images Parts of East Texas to Get Partial Views of Solar Eclipse
An eclipse like this only happens once every twenty years, and it will be viewable in Texas Sunday; partially anyway.
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun for a time, and leaves a ring of fire around its circumference. The sky gets a little spooky-looking for a bit and then the moon and sun part like a good Dancing with the Stars release move, and life goes back to normal.
Spots like Reno, NV and Albuquerque, NM will have the most spectacular views of the complete eclipse, but the entire path of the eclipse stretches from China to Texas. Plenty of folks will have the opportunity to see the rare show of nature.

Jason Merritt/Getty Jennifer Lopez Is Forbes’ Most Powerful Celebrity – Do You Agree?

I’m always looking for local honey, since I’ve heard it’s good at helping with local allergies. Getting too scientific about it might make my head explode, but I’ve heard ingesting what the bees produce is supposed to help fight off seasonal allergies. I’m giving the kids a teaspoon a day and they don’t have many sniffles.
With the Farmer’s Market is open in Nac, you can not only get local honey, but just about anything else homegrown too.
