Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's do some good news. That show is on. It
feels good, happy stories. We share them every day on
the program.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It was a pizza emergency on Monday, at least for
a little five year old boy named Xavier in Florida.
So he had just a hankering for his favorite treat,
which is Pepperoni pizza, so he naturally called nine one
one multiple times to assist him with his an emergency,
says the Nassau County Sheriff's Office. They shared it on Facebook.

(00:28):
That's when Deputies Terry Dill, Fitzpatrick Fields, and Rief Schneider.
Yeah right, yeah, I know him, he's a great guy
and Domino's team together to satisfy little Xavier's pizza craving.
But the delivery didn't come without a lesson, so the
deputies made sure to inform Xavier that using nine one
one is only for certain emergencies. But they did show

(00:50):
up with a huge Pepperoni pizza and they got a
good laugh.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I would argue it's an emergency. It is right. I've
been reading about this for a long time and it's
pretty cool that it's happening. But construction of the largest
wildlife crossing in the world has passed a significant milestone
placing the first girders over an eight lane freeway near
La to preserve the local mountain lion population. So they
went and built a freeway right in the middle of Wall.

(01:17):
This happens all the time in Habitat. After years of
Tireleist's work, erecting the first horizontal section of the two
hundred and ten foot long crossing was an historic moment
for the National Wildlife Federation and the Highway Department and
many private and public partners. We all cheered when the
crane lowered the first concrete beam across the freeway as
we truly saw the bridge starting to take shape. The

(01:38):
bridge will not only keep animals safe, but it will
reduce human wildlife traffic accidents, as every year in the US,
more than a million wildlife vehicle collisions result in two
hundred deaths and twenty six thousand injuries to drivers and passengers.
So they built this huge highway right in the middle
of this mountain lion sort of roaming area, and the
mountain lions oftentimes we somehow cross the freeway. We get

(01:59):
to the other side without any problem, but then other
one other time it's not but there were so many
that they built this thing, and it's kind of cool
the way it's gonna look. It's gonna look like they're
making the overpass look like the rest of the surrounding.
It looks like one fluid thing. That's cool. The mountain
lines will live. I liked him
