Bitter over Twitter

Elon Musk took the stand Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by British cave diver Vernon Unsworth, whom Musk referred to as “pedo guy” in a series of tweets back in July 2018.

Lake Break

Brett Easter is a young pilot with his whole life ahead of him. When he took off for a short joyride on an experimental plane this past Veteran’s Day, his plan was only to go one lap. But as soon as Brett was up in the air, he noticed the propeller on the front of the plane wasn’t working. He was experiencing engine failure.

Like any good pilot, Brett didn’t panic. Instead, he made a calculated decision that he’d risk fewer lives by landing in nearby Lake Morton. Amazingly, he survived, but while trying to escape from the plane in the 47-degree water, his winter coat grew too heavy and pulled him deeper into the lake. That’s when neighbors rushed to the rescue.

Lori Jurek and Robert Thomas witnessed the crash, and immediately got in a kayak and rushed to Brett as quickly as they could. He’d been treading water, only able to use his legs, and was barely able to stay afloat. Jurek and Thomas were able to hold Brett above the surface while a canoe safely towed them all back to shore. The 19-year-old is grateful to those who acted quickly and selflessly to save his life - in spite of everything that happened, he says his love of flying remains as strong as ever. Brett’s story of survival proves that thinking and acting quickly can save lives.

Pup and a Pint

Scott Porter says he owes his life to his dogs - while he was going through a period of severe depression, his canine friends were there for him with the love and companionship he needed. Scott then made it his mission to bring that same feeling of joy and support to his community in Portland, Oregon.

Inspired by a cat cafe, Porter decided that a dog bar - complete with craft brews and rescue dogs - would be the ideal place to adopt a new best friend… and just like that, Fido’s was born. Since its opening in 2018, Fido’s has helped over 70 dogs find forever homes. Along with Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals, Fido’s takes in dogs from shelters with high-kill rates in California, giving each animal the opportunity at a second chance and a lifetime of happiness.

Patrons of Fido’s can meet with, pet, and apply to adopt dogs, and are put through a rigorous adoption process to make sure that all prospective dog parents are serious. Porter says it’s most important to him to share the love that his dogs shared with him. Ciders, lagers, and pooches are all available at Fido’s, and all because one man took the experience of his darkest days and turned them into life-giving love.
