The man was walking for more than a week when police finally found him. According to reports, he was “a little tired” but otherwise fine. But that long walk came with a price … he was fined almost $500 for breaking Italy’s coronavirus curfew, which requires people to be off the streets from 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. (Insider)

Yahoo News says Eva Welch, of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, has created a Totally 80’s Christmas tree. It’s decorated with Cabbage Patch dolls, Yoda, Gizmo, the green slime ghost from Ghostbusters, 80’s video games, New Kids on the Block dolls, 80’s candy, 80’s toys, a View-Master, Teen Beat magazines and a Punky Brewster doll.
Eva says, “It is about going back to simpler times. It made me feel good in a time that is not so good.”
