Author Ernest Hemingway’s home (turned museum) in Key West, Florida did suffer minor damages due to hurricane Ian. But luckily his famous colony of 6-toed cats made it through unharmed. All 59 cats were safely sheltered on the property during the storm. Some members of staff stayed behind to feed and tend to them.  Hemingway’s Spanish Colonial-style home was built in 1851. It was a gift to him and his second wife, Pauline, by her uncle Gus. Though Morgan stated “All is well,” there was still some downed trees and leaf debris from Ian. The museum was even closed yesterday…

Just when you thought maple syrup is the weirdest flavor Pepsi would ever make, may I present their new s’mores collection? On the last day of summer, Pepsi released 3 new flavors, graham cracker, toasty marshmallow, and chocolate. If you mix all 3 together you get a beverage that tastes like the iconic campfire treat.  According to the press release, a lot of time and effort was put into making each soda taste authentic while taking into consideration how they would mix together. Toasty Marshmallow takes a marshmallow base with layers of toasted notes to mimic a light fireside flavor. Graham…

Disney parks have recently made some controversial decisions, but luckily banning strollers will not be among them.

The TikTok video claims the stroller ban was due to congestion and theft creating too much of an issue. The video quickly shot up to approximately 2.6 million views and Disney fans had some very strong opinions about it. Currently, many fans are already upset at…

NASA has successfully crashed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft into the Dimorphos asteroid. 10 months ago NASA launched the DART probe specifically aiming for the mini-asteroid to study how much impact a projectile could have on diverting asteroids. For the test, they chose the none earth threatening asteroid Dimorphos to test out the new technology. Dimorphos is about the size of the great pyramids in Egypt and orbits the half-mile-wide asteroid, Didymos. Both of these asteroids orbit a path that goes out beyond mars but comes close enough to earth that they were a viable target. Dimorphos also…

Internet ‘comedians’ swarmed to mock the promotion, and deemed this flight a true nightmare. So much so, people who were on the flight swear they enjoyed it.  Amtrak got in on the roast, touting their quiet car. “For anyone who wasn’t there, they can make it out to be as great or awful in their head. But if you were there in person, it was nothing but…
