Pizza Chain Opening New In-Store Locations at Walmart
A popular pizza brand will make its way into select Walmart stores by the end of 2024, offering shoppers a new spot to enjoy pizza, wings, salads, and sandwiches. As a kid, I can vividly remember shopping at Walmart in Vincennes, Indiana, with my parents. In the early 2000s, there was a McDonald's location in the back of the store, which meant I was treated to a Happy Meal at the end of our shopping excursion. It's been several years since that area of the store was replaced with a Walmart Deli, which I even worked at briefly during my first semester or two of college. However, a remnant of the McDonald's era still remains, as the company's logo is enshrined on one of the electrical panel boxes in the back of the store.

ALERT: Pike Animal Welfare Shelter (P.A.W.S) in Need of Dog Food
An animal shelter in Petersburg, Indiana, needs your help feeding some hungry dogs awaiting homes. While on my way home from work last week, I received an interesting call from my wife. She was in the house, settling in for the evening, when she heard what could only be described as faint squeaks from our front porch. Upon opening the door, we found a very small kitten clinging to life. It looked as if it had been in an altercation with another animal. Upon further investigation, the poor thing was infested with fleas and ear mites while also dealing with a double eye infection, along with an injury to its left foot. After eight days of giving the little fighter formula and medication, I'm happy to say it's up, moving, and playing as a kitten should.
