boy saved after night in Australian wilderness

Seven-year-old Simon Kruger walked away from a family picnic and got lost.  He was picking flowers for his mother when a kangaroo approached him.  The kangaroo ate the flowers and then slept next to the boy which kept Simon warm all night.  He was spotted the next day by a rescue helicopter.  His family believes that it's a miracle and that the kangaroo was sent by God to keep him alive. boy saved

no immediate return for Stewart

Tony Stewart will be out of racing for more than just one race.  He's already had two surgeries and has one more to come.  Max Papis will drive for him at Watkins Glen but Stewart will also need replacements for a few more weeks.  This will end his chances at a championship this year.  Stewart

Oh, to be this rich...

You're planning a trip and you absolutely must have your pet accompany you.  So, call a vet, who then arranges a flight and takes care of the animal while in flight.  How much money do you actually have to have to make this a reality?  Dr. Cindy Bressler is a vet to the celebrities and along with two partners
has started a business called, "JetSetVets."  They're the country's only private-jet, ride-along-vet, concierge service.  Talk about a pampered pet!

Stewart out for a race

Tony Stewart was competing in an Outlaw Race at the Iowa Speedway on Monday night when he was involved in a crash.  He was taken to the hospital where he had surgery on a broken leg.  This will put him out of the Watkins Glen race on Sunday.  He's currently in 11th place in the Sprint Cup standings.  This will probably push him out of the top 12.  He will have to fight hard to regain his place with only 5 races to go until the Chase starts.  There have been two deaths recently in sprint racing:  Jason Leffler in June and on Sunday, Kramer Williamson died during a qualifying race.  Tony Stewart

mayor wins second term

That in itself would not be an exciting thing but when the Mayor is only 4, it's a different story.  Bobby Tufts won the election last year at only 3 and decided to run again.  The town of Dorset, MN, holds the election every year.  They don't have a formal government in the town of 22-28 people.  Each vote costs $1 and the money is used towards the town's festival.  youngest mayor
