Item #1: No got dirt? 
This is odd. Way over in merry Ol’Otley, West Yorkshire, a young lad saw an imperiled hedgehog. A rather rare creature, this one was white with a pink nose.

Wildlife biologist Dr Toni Bunnell, who has treated albino hedgehogs in the past, said they survive well in the wild.
She said: “Although it might be thought that the light colouration would make them more visible to predators, this is not in fact the case.
“After only a few days in the wild, the coat of the albino becomes dirty and serves as camouflage.”
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but do they not have plain ol’dirt in West Yorkshire? I could get Jack Frost to turn into Jack Dirt with no trouble at all.
Item #2: rather clever folks
Note the Roadrunner painted beside the painted tunnel. This prank worked too well: Crash!
The folks that repair hiking trails claim camp gear ought to include 3-in-1 oil for things that should move – but don’t, and duct tape for things that do move – but shouldn’t. Utility poles ought not to move, so duct tape to the rescue.
Item #3: More than clever
Just one image here, but go to Nikolaj
Read about the chalk artist and then go to “gallery.” And then 3-D.
There will be scroll tabs.
Item #4: A Unicorn story
A young girl (age 3 ?) had to be rescued by ferry workers after she was swept out to sea on a small** inflatable unicorn.
**Folks have claimed it is a “giant” inflatable. Not exactly. Search up “inflatable unicorns” on the web.
Scroll down until the video with dark sides and ship scene in the middle. This is in the Gulf of Patras, a branch of the Ionian Sea, with the “toe” of Italy to the west.
Item #5: wrong attitude
I couldn’t decide which of these to use, so both.
And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
