Joy Newsome deserves our appreciation.

Joy grew up in the evacuation zone near the big spill. People said they ought to leave, but Joy and her family and their 19 cats, 5 dogs, assorted birds and reptiles and one goat stayed put. Turns out their cats had kittens, their dogs had puppies, and their birds and reptiles laid eggs at unprecedented rates. And their goat got smart.

It probably has something to do with why Joy is so big, and we're sure happy to have her on the Psyhigh Basketball Team.
