For those living under rocks, or perhaps just not in the United States, the first Democratic Presidential Debate took place last Tuesday. It did not feature quite the fireworks of the two Republican debates, but then of course, that is likely because Donald Trump did not participate.

Welcome back everyone for this edition of the Week In Review recap.

As you all have surely heard, an announcement was made that water had been found on Mars! The public has known for quite some time that there was water on the red planet at one time in the distant past, since the planet’s topography included what seemed to be dried up rivers. NASA discovered that these beds are not totally dried up though, and that water flows through them intermittently even still.

The Pope finally decided to visit the United States! That was exciting for a lot of people. More exciting, though, was Nickelodeon’s announcement that they will be bringing back a long list of fan favorites from the 90′s. Starting on October 5th, Nick will debut “The Splat”, which will be an 8-hour block of programming consisting exclusively of reruns from shows like “Rugrats”, “Catdog”, and “Legends of the Hidden Temple”.

Hello everyone and welcome back to this edition of our Week In Review recap!

There were two quite strange stories involving adorable animals this past week. The first one begins with a two-year-old playing with her puppy, during which time she allowed it to jump into the dryer. Later, her older sister walked over and started the dryer, not knowing that amongst the clothes was also a pooch. The mother of the family realized the dog was missing a half an hour later and immediately stopped the dryer and rushed it to the vet, where they were able to save the dog.

For many of us, our work/school schedules were short this week thanks to Labor Day. For those who don’t get that day off, we feel for ya. We are in the thick of September now, and at least for us, the sweltering temperatures of the summer are starting to fade and the crisp breezes of autumn are starting to slip their way into our lives. Finally, we can walk to the grocery store without looking like we just ran a marathon.
