Most of the U.S. is dealing with serious cold weather right now.  So "USA Today" put together a list of six things you shouldn't leave in your car when it's below freezing out.   1.  Aerosol cans.  They can explode if they get too cold. 2.  Canned food.  It can make the food inside expand, and cause tiny cracks where bacteria gets in.  The USDA says to toss any canned food that swells from freezing.  Even if it doesn't, they suggest tossing it just to be safe. 3.  Eggs.  Don't leave them in the car after you get groceries.  If they [...]

Tim McGraw is the son of Tug McGraw, who played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball from 1965 to 1984 . . . so this is appropriate: Tim will headline the first-ever, all-day concert event at the legendary Field of Dreams field in Dyersville, Iowa on August 30th.  And he's doing it to pay tribute to his father . . .

Happy Quitter's Day!  The second Friday in January is when people are most likely to throw in the towel on their New Year's resolutions.  But here are three times when it might actually MAKE SENSE to give up on your goal . . . or at least reassess it.   1.  When you're motivated by the wrong reasons.  Sometimes, we pursue a goal just to prove other people wrong or soothe our own fear of failure.  But when a goal doesn't align with your core values and needs, it's hard to stay motivated. 2.  When your goal no longer resonates with [...]

The "L.A. Times" did a story on a woman named Annie Harvilicz, who's been taking in pets displaced by the Palisades Fire near Malibu.   She runs two vet clinics in the area, and one was empty.  So she posted on Facebook offering to take in any pets that had to be evacuated.   She says tons of people have reached out for help in the past two days.  But even more have reached out OFFERING to help.  (If you want to help out from afar, you can donate through her website, AnimalWellnessFoundation.org.)
