Tuesday News

Front page: The economy having the potential to get better which is wonderful. I'm sure every reader loved to read about that. However things are continuing to happen as a result of the economy. For an example, people abandoning their horses. Last week I heard about people leaving their boats, and a few months ago their pets. Now horses, which is odd because horses are mobile and they can't just be left anywhere to wander around. It is really sad because these animals are starving and states asking to reopen slaughterhouses to eliminate the issue. Since I am an animal lover, I don't want to see any horses killed.
Not only has the US been struggling but many countries have been trying to get there economy together. Russia is losing the numbers in car sales when they are the ones who do very well in that department.
In other international news there was an earthquake, which was a great news story because those do not come often. Unfortunately, many people died from the incident and other were left homeless. Baghdad is still having bombing and more and more people are dying as a result.
There was a small piece of news about the Smithsonian extending their hours which was music to my ears. As a Maryland/D.C. resident I visit the Smithsonian museums often and I never have enough time in the day to get through them because they closed so early. Now they have pushed it back to increase the revenue for the summer, which is a wonderful idea because many people go to the museums during summer time.
