Last week in Utah, a church group was hiking with around 50 kids, when a light rainstorm hit. The storm produced water puddling on the ground, and then lightning struck. Everyone standing in the puddle felt the shock.
None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening at this time, but seven kids were sent to the hospital.
It isn't often that a judge actually gets to WITNESS someone committing a crime . . . in real time . . . while reviewing their case....
A 44-year-old man in Michigan named Corey Harris was attending a VIRTUAL court hearing earlier this month, after he'd previously been charged with driving with a suspended license. That was back in October of last year, and his license is still suspended.
But Corey showed up on Zoom . . . while he was on his way to a doctor's appointment. And he was DRIVING. He was oblivious . . . and asked for everyone to hold tight "for one second" while he parked.
Corey's public defender asked for an adjournment, and the judge looked at his case. He said, "Maybe I don't understand something . . . he was just driving, and he doesn't have a license . . . he's suspended, and he [was] just driving?"
There was a pause, and the judge said, "I don't even know why he would do that." He then revoked his bond, and ordered him to turn himself in. Corey was seen in the...

Trying to spend less? Someone asked people in a Reddit group called "Frugal" for ideas. Here are a few money-saving hacks from cheap people . . .
1. You can't buy something unless you get rid of something else. You'll buy less junk and end up with just the stuff you really want.
2. Use a budgeting app to track impulse purchases. Just the purchases you didn't really NEED to make. It'll show you how it all adds up each month.
3. Use the library. It seems like no one does anymore, even though it's free. A lot of libraries let you stream movies for free now, or even check out tools.
4. Pay with cash when you're out with friends. Take a set amount with you. It'll keep you from overspending, especially when you're out drinking.
5. Plan your meals while you shop. Like if pork chops are on sale, do that instead of chicken.
6. Pack a lunch. Not a new idea. But someone did the math and found it's saved them $35,000 in 12 years. That's about three grand a year. (BuzzFeed)
