Jellyfish-like creatures washing up on West Coast
From USA TODAY Jellyfish-like creatures washing up on West Coast Ocean-goers up and down the West Coast have spent weeks photographing thousands of mysterious sea creatures washing up on seashores from Washington to California, reports CNN. Called Velella velella, or "by-the-wind sailors," the silver-purple sea creatures that vaguely resemble jellyfish are typically found well out in the ocean, but experts say not to worry, unusually strong winds are the likely culprit, the Los Angeles Times reported in an earlier story. "I'm very excited to see how interested people have been with it," one expert tells the New York Daily News. "It's a great example of the fact that the ocean is 95% unexplored." The first sightings this summer were up in Washington and Oregon, but now that they're appearing on more populated shores in California, they're also making quite a splash on Twitter, reports the Latino Post. http://usat.ly/VLaQeT Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps

From USA TODAY Why are people left-handed?
From USA TODAY Why are people left-handed? There's no right answer Raise your hand if you're a lefty! Aug. 13 marks the 22nd annual International Left-Handers Day, an event that celebrates the uniqueness of left-handed people. Why are people left-handed? Roughly 10% of the population primarily use their left hand. This happens because the brain is divided into two hemispheres. The right side of the brain controls movement on the left side of the body and vice versa. But why humans develop "handedness," or a preference for one side over the other, is still somewhat a mystery. Because left-handedness tends to run in families, scientists believed for years that handedness was linked to a gene, but could not identify the exact one, according to The New York Times. http://usat.ly/1ouf7Ab Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps

Things I learned as a child that are helping me now........
Things I learned as a child that are helping me now........
- Making friends is sometimes as easy as walking up to them and asking them to play.
- Sticking a knife in the toaster is never a good idea.....seriously.....
- Even the funnest things are almost always better with a friend.
- Peanut butter and jelly is always a good lunch.
- When you have a birthday, always invite bunches of friends and have cake.
- Playing outside can always be an adventure if you let it.
- When you fall and hurt yourself (metaphorically or literally) a kiss or a kind word from someone that you love always makes it feel better.
- Eating candy corns until you feel sick is a yearly Halloween tradition and that's okay. If not, you would want to eat them all year...... especially the pumpkin shaped ones......
- Always be wary of strangers offering free things.
- Saying "please" and "thank you" is always a good thing.
