A Little Good News

   It's something we all need from time to time. A feel good story. And this ones from Whitehorse, Yukon where an enterprising 5 year old is making and selling wooden block through a local store.
   Huxley Briggs uses his dads woodshop to craft the blocks (with some help from Dad using the planer), then hand packages and labels them. He approached a local toy store with the idea of selling a set of 10 for 5 bucks. The store owner did not go for that price, feeling it was undervalued, and instead paid 10 dollars a set. She's charging 20, but is also donating the profit to the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters organisation.
   There's now a waiting list for the blocks, and Huxley says he's asked his Grand-dad to come help out, agreeing to take Gramps out for ice-cream and a movie.
   And it gets better. Huxley isn't turning the cash into more toys. Instead, the canny Kindergarten age kid has started saving some of the profit as well.
   Here's hoping he does well in his endeavour!
