Hey, where did that island come from?

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Lithuania hosted the fifth annual Corgi Race of Vilnius, drawing 150 corgis from nine countries, with American corgi Gigi winning the 25-meter final, Mr. Corgington placing second and taking loudest bark, a costume parade won by Amigo, and Latvia’s Tora and Rusty winning a hidden treat search. In Abu Dhabi, Amira’s Ice Station serves date-based soft serve made with naturally sweet kollas dates after years of experimentation, and she is working on her 448th flavor. A May 2025 survey in India counted 891 lions, about a 70% rise since 2015, with expanded range and 17 lions now living year-round in Barda Wildlife Sanctuary. In British Columbia’s Williston Reservoir, a tree-covered floating island appeared July 20 and vanished by August 5, possibly driftwood lifted by rising water. In California, a pickup spilled a pallet of Utz cheese balls on the 105, worsening delays as drivers stopped to retrieve containers.
