Woman has driven the same 1966 VW Bug for 50 years [Video]

Sherry Murphy is hard to miss. It never occurred to me to get another car. Her 1966 Volkswagen Bug. Blue Whale is two. His name made *** little more sense when she first got him. He was the blue, but he was also white and he was also gray and he was also rust that was in 74 when she found *** guy selling the bug. And I said, if you go to the bank with me right now, I’ll give you 575 in cash from then on. It’s been Sherry and Blue Whale every single day. 50 years. Yeah, he hasn’t been sitting anywhere. No, no, he’s been on the road the whole time together. They’ve been through *** couple crashes which led to an orange era and then later the metallic magenta all the while spreading the happiness and kindness, you can’t deny they bring. I realized that if I can make just one person smile or laugh who wasn’t going to today, I’ve done my job that often includes her mechanic at vintage Volks works Matt Rios who built the cars matching headgear for Sherry’s 50th anniversary. Sharing the milestone online only doubled down on the love sherry and her bug share. I was messaged by so many people that were like, oh, I know her. I remember her from this and I see her at my grocery store all the time and it’s just like all these people came out of the woodwork. It shows how much you’ve been woven into Tucson’s fabric fitted with the engine of *** VW bus. Sherry says she and Blue Whale are ready for wherever the road takes them. The only way I’ll get rid of this bug is if somebody squashes it and hopefully that never happens.

Winston-Salem residents worry of proposed Duke Energy substation [Video]

WELL, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN WINSTON-SALEM ARE COMING TOGETHER TO TRY TO GET ANSWERS ABOUT AN ENERGY SUBSTATION THAT COULD BE COMING TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE TOO LONG. OUR SARAH SAUER SPOKE WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT COULD VERY WELL BE IMPACTED, AND SOON. SARAH, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING YOU? KENNY. NEIGHBORS ARE CONCERNED AN EMPTY LOT AT THE CORNER OF NORTHWEST BOULEVARD AND PATTERSON AVENUE COULD BE THE FUTURE HOME OF A DUKE ENERGY FACILITY, ACCORDING TO ZONING RECORDS FROM THE CITY OF WINSTON-SALEM. A SUBSTATION IS AN ENERGY GRID THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SPLITTING VOLTAGE TO BUILDINGS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A TYPICAL TRANSMISSION SUBSTATION LOOKS LIKE FROM DUKE ENERGYS WEBSITE. DUKE ENERGYS PROPOSAL TO THE CITY PLANNING BOARD FROM JULY SHOWS A TEN FOOT BRICK WALL SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY, AND COMPANY PERSONNEL CONFIRMED THE SUBSTATION BEHIND THE FENCE WILL BE VISIBLE TO THE STREET, WITH POWER LINES COMING OUT OF IT. LIFELONG RESIDENT SHANITA JOHNSON SAYS SHES WORRIED THE SUBSTATION COULD AFFECT THE BUS STOP AND ROUTE THAT NEIGHBORS DEPEND ON, AND WONDERS IF THERE WILL BE HEALTH IMPACTS. WE DONT KNOW WHAT HEALTH HAZARDS THERE ARE. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO KNOW. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL FOR DUKE ENERGY TO AT LEAST GIVE US SOMETHING TO HELP US TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WILL BE BETTER FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE IN A MEETING JUST NOW AND TOLD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM DUKE ENERGY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED THERE WONT BE A TREE LINE BUFFER FROM HOMES FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE PROPERTY. DUKE ENERGY SAYS THEY LOOKED AT FACTORS LIKE ENVIRONMENT AND SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS THE HISTORY ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY, BUT THAT THE SITE WAS CHOSEN FOR GROWING ELECTRIC NEEDS NEARBY. THEY SAY THE PROJECT TO BUILD THE SUBSTATION WILL BE ONGOING THROUGH 2026. REPORTING
