PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s franchisee who created the Big Mac nearly 50 years ago has died. Michael “Jim” Delligatti was 98.

Delligatti’s franchise was based in Uniontown when he invented the chain’s signature burger with two all-beef patties, “special sauce,” lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun.

He lived to be 98, so McDonalds food did not send him to an early grave – assuming he ate it and not just sold it.

Have you every heard of cat yoga?

I had not until today, when a fellow Yavapai Humane Society volunteer mentioned it. My first thought “people trying to imitate cat positions?” was wrong. It’s a yoga class with shelter cats. I don’t know if our shelter could host this, our cat rooms are pretty small. Click the link below and watch the video.

Doesn’t this lab mix look bright and intelligent with that ear up in the air? His name is Baxter and he is available for adoption at the Yavapai Humane Society in Prescott. I don’t think he’ll be there very long. This is one of 6 dogs Gary Gromer photographed today for YHS.

Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

For those who traveled to visit family or friends (these groups are not mutually exclusive, of course) and had to fight traffic jams or airport crowds, bad weather (the weather is almost always bad on this holiday) I trust it was worthwhile.
