Once again, Green Bay comes up a little short against Detroit.

Football fans turned out in droves in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft's first night on April 24, but didn't exceed the enormous crowd Detroit drew for the first night of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Green Bay hosted approximately 205,000 fans for Round 1 of the draft, according to league officials. Last year, Detroit set the record for first night attendees with 275,000 fans.

Detroit later went on to also set the overall record with more than 775,000 fans in attendance during the three-day event.

America's first "agrihood" in Detroit is a 1280-acre garden that feeds 2,000 households. 🌿 The garden, along with its fruit orchard, also provides food to local markets and restaurants. This innovative model shows how urban farming can strengthen communities and provide for those in need. 🌳

Do you know someone who has lost a dog? Sometimes they bolt. Instinct tells them to run, sometimes for days.Its quite a process. You can hire someone to track and find your dog. I had this happen to friends while they were on vacation. It took 3 weeks to find their dog!

Just a few days until smiley face!

The Universe is about to smile back at you. 🌌

In the early morning hours of April 25, something special is set to light up the eastern predawn sky—a celestial smiley face looking back down at you!

🌘 A 27-day-old waning crescent Moon will line up closely with two bright planets:
🔹 Venus – the brighter of the pair, nicknamed the "Morning Star"
🔹 Saturn – a bit dimmer, but still unmistakably present
Together, they’ll form a cosmic smile—with the Moon as the curved grin and the two planets as glowing eyes. 😊

📍 Where Can You See It?

✨ This striking formation is the result of a brief planetary conjunction, where the Moon and planets appear close together from our perspective on Earth. However, due to the slightly different viewing angles around the globe, this perfect smiley face configuration will be best seen from North America. In other regions, viewers will still be able to spot the Moon, Venus, and Saturn close together, but they may not form the same iconic expression.

🌌 While it’s just a trick of geometry and timing, such alignments are a beautiful reminder of the elegance and playfulness of the cosmos. So if you're in the right place and up before dawn on April 25, look to the eastern sky—and don’t forget to smile back.
