So much cute in one photo – three little black-footed ferrets playing! One of the most endangered mammals in North America, black-footed ferrets once numbered in the tens of thousands, but by the 20th century, they were believed to be extinct twice. In 1981, a small population of the species was rediscovered in Meeteetse, Wyoming. Scientists captured some of these ferrets, and they became the foundation for a successful captive breeding and reintroduction program that continues today at the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center in Colorado.

Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man’s life; a young man who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits… with a dark purpose.
There’s no place I’d rather be than on my surfboard out at sea lingering in the ocean blue. And if I had one wish come true I’d surf ‘tilthe sun sets beyond the horizon.
