A Little Bit of Awesome: 7/20/2020 Edition

Captain Tom Moore was knighted by the Queen on Friday. Back in April, he set a goal to walk 100 laps in his backyard before his 100th birthday, and ended up raising over $40 million for charity. A reporter caught up with him on Friday while he was on his way to Windsor Castle for the ceremony.


 John Thomas Archer asked if he could play a piano in an antique shop. They recorded him playing, posted the clip on their social media page, and it soon went viral. So many people began to ask if they could begin a fund to buy the piano for the mystery man, the shop decided to donate it to him. Here he is playing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”. (His name is.)


A cosmetics company in London projected a giant smiley face on the side of Parliament late last week. They specifically chose the spot because it faces a hospital. You can check it out RIGHT HERE.


Over the weekend, a black bear came up on some female hikers in Mexico at the Chipinque Ecological Park. It got extremely close to one of them . . . rising up on its hind legs behind her, and basically breathing down her neck.
So what did the woman do? She SNAPPED A SELFIE. (???)
Experts say you’re supposed to remain calm and avoid panicking if a black bear approaches you, but THIS is taking it to the extreme. It’s also pretty stupid. Don’t take selfies with black bears.
