The 'Be Kind' Graduation Speech that Went Viral and More

Five interesting things for Carlsbad residents on August 6.

1- Break out the Listerine, Binaca or Scope. Tuesday is Fresh Breath Day. Come to think of it, maybe every day should be Fresh Breath Day.

2- Need a little inspiration? Check out this timeless graduation speech by author George Saunders. In it, he veers from the dangers of swimming in monkey poop to the value -- and difficulty -- of kindness.

3- Snores and S'mores is coming Aug. 10. Have you signed up? This fun event usually sells out! http://news.carlsbadca.gov/news/snores-n-s-mores-family-campout-coming-aug-10-11
