A few cheerful bits for Friday

Just a few, to leaven the usual doom and gloom...

• Billionaires Pledge To Spread the Wealth -- Warren Buffet induces a landslide of largesse among his peers.
  
  
• National Night Out -- one kid recreates an environment for unstructured neighborhood play, reminding a lot of parents that the end of their yards isn't the end of the world (and making a couple of new friends along the way)!
  
  
• It Made My Day -- folks sharing the little episodes along the way that brightened their day or gave them a laugh.
  

And, of course, nothing improves your day like a bear on your head!
