UNUSUAL ANIMAL: Cat With Two Different Colors In each Eye


This cat has the most interesting eyes I have ever seen on a cat; one part is blue and the other amber but 100% unique.

This kitty currently has over 15,000 subscribers on an Instagram account, Oddity Olive.   The owner indicates Odd Eyed Olive is:


"Just a double odd eyed kitty.  (Sectoral Heterochromia) Kind of weird but pretty cool".

United States Sweaters...Made In China

While browsing through sweaters at a consignment shop I came across the above sweater that is branded "united states sweaters".

I would have thought a company that by that name would be such as the products are made in the USA,  so I found it interesting it was made in China.

Anthem Veterans Memorial

This is something that is going on my personal "bucket" list to see.

The above monument, location in Anthem, Arizona was installed in 2011 at a tribute to honor the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces.

It was designed by Renee Palmer-Jones with the five pillars to represent each unit of the Armed Forces:  

  • United States Army
  • United States Marine Corps
  • United States Navy
  • United States Air Force 
  • United States Coast Guard
Each year on Veteran's Day. 11/11/11 at 11:11am as the sun shines through all five it illuminates the Seal of The United States at the very front.

I wish to offer a special thanks for all those past, present and future who serve and sacrifice to ensure the freedoms that we enjoy in this country. 


Location:  41703 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway, Anthem, AZ

ART OF SERGI CADENAS - PAINTING CHANGES FROM YOUNG TO OLD


Culture Trip  has listed SerGi Cadenas as one of six artist from Girona, Spain that should be on your radar and after seeing this painting that  is a young girl that ages into an old woman as you walk by it you can see why.

The article on that site indicates:
"Sergi Cadenas was born in Girona in 1972 to a family of iron workers. He is self-taught and has grown to produce an intense and emotive style with his oil paintings.

Painted on huge canvases, his work features human faces, which are both highly realistic yet very surrealist.

Clever optical illusions, the faces he paints change from young to old, woman to man or human or to animal, depending on your viewpoint. His work can be seen at the Riera Galeria in Girona and the Galería Iturria in Cadaqués and Madrid."

There are more examples of his work on Instagram

Debunking Fake Videos!




Can you dye a shirt with cabbage, rosemary, an Avocado or Tumeric?  Does putting a piece of cabbage in a loaf of bread keep it from getting moldy?  Create Caramel corn by melting Werther's candy and butter and pouring popcorn in the mixture?

Some of the "hacks" that you see on YouTube are fake and not only waste your time and money but can be messy and even dangerous.

Aussie Youtuber, Ann Reardon of How To Cook That, in addition to showing you how to cook yummy treats and the results of trendy new kitchen products, also tests out viral video food "hacks" from other channels and answers the above questions and more by testing them out. Is worth a watch before considering trying any of the "hacks" yourself.
