This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo, you can see that he's wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn't a fashion statement.

It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim represented the U.S. in track and field. On the morning of his competition, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can.

That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day.

A #BelgainMalinois last day on the job after serving 10 years as a #K9 dog on the police force! The bond between a working dog and a police officer is impossible to describe in words but it’s runs deep.Dogs are truly man’s best friends! #Police https://t.co/VAflwOdtUF

“This young man was on his way to a job interview and had a bit of trouble with his tie.

The lady in the red coat noticed him struggling and nudged her husband with her elbow.

She then blocked him to help him evade any embarrassment.

Her husband not only helped the man with his tie but he took the time to teach him so he could do it again himself.

What a beautiful photo!

Don’t let the evil in this world stop you from showing love to one another, folks!

Together we are stronger! ❤️🙏

Do you know of any Sears catalog homes??

“1916 Sears catalog home. They shipped the entire house to you by railroad car. Sears was like Ikea before Ikea.

Friends and family would come from all around to help the owner build it.

Most were built in New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Sears sold more than 70,000 mail-order homes between 1908 and 1940. Some enthusiasts estimate that about 70% of Sears houses are still standing today.

Sears provided building plans and specifications, along with the lumber and any other materials needed. The shipment included everything from nails, screws, and paint to prebuilt building parts, such as staircases and dining nooks.”

It's hard to find a more productive player than Brandin Podziemski over the past 10 games, averaging an outstanding 23.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals shooting 57% for 2 and 48% for 3 over that stretch, helping him win co-WCC player of the year honors.
