Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes John Wells, an alternative energy and sustainability researcher located in the desert area of Terlingua in SW Texas. John set out a bucket of water with a GoPro in the bottom in order to see what sorts of animals would stop by for a drink. 

Because sometimes what you need most is to watch a variety of thirsty animals getting a refreshing drink from the perspective of the water they’re all drinking.

“Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can’t make him drink. Note: The swimming bees were rescued.”

Just a quick guide for all you guys and girls having trouble finding the right insurance. It’s incredibly difficult to find insurance that covers sex reassignment surgery, and even when then do, there’s a chance you’ll be denied. 

Make sure you guys are informed so you can make the right healthcare decisions!

Please help Tami and Lee Bad Hand

Jenna and her 4 year old daughter, Payton Jo were in a horrific car accident. Sadly, Jenna did not survive but her daughter did. Payton Jo is in critical condition at the Sanford Children’s hospital in Sioux Falls. Jenna’s parents Tami and Lee Bad Hand are with Payton Jo now and will be planning Jenna’s wake and funeral soon. I know there have been many people asking how they can help! We figured this would be the best way for all to help. Any donations for travel/food/funeral expenses will be greatly appreciated in this tragic time.
