Even on the rainiest days, the Barred Tiger Salamander wears a grin that could melt your heart. These little amphibians spend most of their lives hidden under logs, leaf litter, or underground, only emerging on damp nights. And yet, when they do come out, they seem to carry that quiet reminder: take things slow, enjoy the little things, and—no matter what—just keep smiling.

It’s Milkman Day! Beginning in the late 1700s, milkmen were a staple in America before household refrigeration, providing the perishable good to surrounding areas. Now, with the availability of supermarkets you can easily go out and purchase milk yourself. When buying milk from the store inspect the carton for damage and double check the label and date. Perishable items such as milk should be immediately taken home and put in the fridge.
