A kinkajou was climbing on a wooden sign post at a Washington State rest stop, and that is not where this animal is supposed to be. Maybe that’s why it looked so disturbed when someone took pictures of the creature peering at them.

It is a question that has vexed humanity for ages. Most of us have experienced the loss of a loved one, whether it's a parent, sibling, dear friend, or even a child. Death is a part of life, but the question of what lies beyond this earthly existence remains a profound mystery. Where do our loved ones go when they leave us? Where will we go when our time is up? Is there a way for the departed to connect with those still living? Heaven and hell?

Cows and fascinating things? Aside from producing milk, cows are pretty alluring creatures. Most domesticated cows you see on farms today are descendants of Aurochs or wild oxen found in Turkey around 10,500 years ago and became extinct around 1627. However, this is not the only sub-species thought to date back this far. For Example, other sub-species, such as the Zebu Cattle, were domesticated in India at or around the same time and gained notoriety due to their calm, gentle, and loving demeanor.

DELAWARE SEASHORE STATE PARK (AP) — On a muggy July evening, Delaware state biologist Jason Davis is doing what kids have done for ages: Trying to catch a firefly.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
