And now the news...(sort of) A devastating combination of heavy rainfall and snowmelt has led to record flooding in the Midwest, causing 75 cities in Nebraska to declare states of emergency. The water is starting to recede, and those affected by the flood now begin the huge task of cleaning up and rebuilding. Kyle Simpson and friend Gayland Stouffer spent Sunday cleaning mud from his property. As the sun was setting, the two men were walking back to their car when Stouffer spotted what looked like a refrigerator in the middle of a field. When the opened it, the fridge was full of beer. The two friends cracked open two beers, choosing from Busch Light and Bud Light. Simpson said, “It was a gift sent from the heavens, and we were happy to see it. But we hoped the people who lost the fridge were OK, we hoped their property was OK.”

Just in case you missed it, here's today's GOOD NEWS story: Kids Shoveled a Woman's Driveway at 4:30 A.M. So She Could Get to Dialysis One of her neighbors has been shoveling her driveway all winter to make sure she can get her car out. But he's a paramedic and had to work when the last big snowstorm hit. So his little brother stepped up to help instead. His name is Patrick Lanigan, and he's a high school senior. He offered to wake up before school and shovel the driveway. But he knew it would take a while. So he was smart about it, and asked his friends for help. Four of them ended up sleeping over at his house that night. Then they all got up at 4:30 in the morning, and knocked it out in about 30 minutes. They were hoping school might get cancelled that day, so they could go back to bed. But no luck. Most of them didn't sleep much, but they were all happy to help. Patrick's dad was so proud of them, he posted some photos on Twitter, and now they're going viral.

The Sailor from the Most Famous World War II Kiss Has Died One of the most iconic photos in history is the one of the sailor kissing a woman in Times Square to celebrate the end of World War 2 in 1945. Sadly, that sailor died on Sunday. Today would have been his 96th birthday. His name was GEORGE MENDONSA, and he was on leave at the time, after a stint in the Pacific. He was actually on a first date with one Rita Petry . . . who would later become his WIFE . . . when the news broke that the war was over. Everyone started drinking and celebrating in the streets. That's when he saw GRETA FRIEDMAN, who he thought was a nurse. In an interview a few years ago, George said, quote, "We're all drinking and raising hell . . . it was just plain instinct, I guess. I just grabbed her." His date didn't even care. She said, quote, "I was in the background, grinning like a mutt. It didn't matter to me." They married in 1946, and were together until his death. Greta didn't mind either. She said, quote, "Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor. It wasn't that much of a kiss. It was more of a jubilant act that he didn't have to go back." The girl from the photo died in 2016. She was 92. (CNN)
