Rumor is that King Charles is "very unwell"

same rumor floating through the rumor mill

King Charles III’s health is worrying friends and the palace as he continues to battle an undisclosed type of cancer.

“Speaking to friends of the king in recent weeks about his health, the most common response is … ‘It’s not good,'” Tom Sykes of the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

A friend of the monarch claimed Charles “is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it,” adding, “Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on.”

National Park Service officials are looking for man who may have headed down the Grand Canyon on this "raft"

The NPS memo shows a photo of the supposed raft, which NBC News describes as "three wooden boards crudely held together, as well as a paddle and a life vest."

National Park Service officials are asking for the public's help in tracking down a man and his dog who they say may have tried to navigate the Grand Canyon in a homemade raft. KLAS reports that a 2001 Toyota Tacoma belonging to 58-year-old Thomas Lee Robison was found at Lees Ferry on Sunday, but Robison and his pet Welsh corgi were nowhere to be found. The man from Santa Fe, New Mexico, "is believed to have attempted to travel down the Colorado River with his small dog on a wooden raft," the NPS says in a release.



LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Authorities are searching for a 58-year-old man who may have tried to take a small homemade raft down the Grand Canyon.

Thomas L. Robison of Santa Fe, New Mexico, may have taken his pet Welsh Corgi on the wooden raft, according to information posted by the National Park Service on the Grand Canyon website.

Robison’s 2001 Toyota Tacoma was found abandoned at Lee’s Ferry — just below Glen Canyon Dam — on Sunday, April 21.

The National Park Service is conducting a missing person search at Grand Canyon National Park.

Anyone who might have seen Robison is asked to contact Grand Canyon Dispatch at 928-638-7805. A missing person investigation is ongoing and no further information is available at this time.

these protests remind me of the "Occupy Wall street" protests of 2011

anyone else reminded of Occupy Wall Street? not stating agreement or non agreement... just commenting on the vibe. and spread from college campus to campus.

protests at Trump's elections were centered around street cornders.
 BLM was more city focused/off campus geographically.

OWS was the last set of nationwide protests that developed at college campuses.
