“COCO COMES HOME
Last Saturday the Beaumont family of Slidell went out for dinner. After returning they noticed their beloved dog “Coco” had gone missing. Over the next four days the Beaumonts searched far and wide for their lost Labrador, but she was nowhere to be found. On Wednesday of this week they received a call from Robert Hamilton, who lives in DeSoto Parish just outside of Mansfield. Mr. Hamilton had found Coco in his back yard and called the number on her tag. A special day trip was arranged and now the wayward Beaumont is back where she belongs. Although Coco was unable to tell her family what she did in those lost four days, or how she managed to travel nearly 300 miles from home, she was able to show them how happy she was to be back.

Recommended Viewing
I rarely recommend movies anymore, but Apollo 11 (2019 Documentary) is the rare exception. Made up of restored archival film and still photos this is a definite must see, and a thousand times better than any fictionalized account Hollywood could produce on the subject. Watch this in awe when America, and indeed Western Civilization, was in its finest hour.
