Just one week ago, on Friday, January 30th, 2026, a mother and her three children were swept out to sea. The family was on a vacation in Western Australia and rented kayaks and paddleboards from their hotel around noon. Shortly after they set out, the rough ocean and high winds swept them out to sea. The mother, Joanne Appelbee, was accompanied by children under the age of 13 years old. She made the difficult decision to send her eldest son out to get help, so she could stay

This past Monday, February 2nd was Groundhog Day. On this fateful day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow when he was picked out of his burrow—which indicates six more weeks of winter.  With an average accuracy of 35% , Phil is far from a reliable prophet.

"Millions of people in the United States are in the middle of an exceptional cold stretch — one of the longest in decades for some — and it's only going to get more brutal headed into next week." I'd rather hear "6, 7" than have these cold temperatures. But just like all good things, all bad things have to come to an end, too. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
