ROBBIE INNOVATION DISPLAYS EVEN
THE SETTING VERY DIFFERENT THIS

MOVING INTO PLACE IN THE OUTER
HALLWAY THIS MORNING, AND IT
COULD BE THAT SOMEWHERE.
SOMEBODY CROSSED STREAMS. AND
HIT A RUBBER DUCK BECAUSE

85 FT WIDE RUBBER DUCK. SYMBOLIC
THEY SAY OF JOY. AT LEAST THAT’S
WHAT THE DRIVERS IN THE JEEP

BEEN AN ABSOLUTE SENSATION PADS
ON AS A CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER WHO
EXPLAINS THE DUCKS SIGNIFICANCE
ORGANICALLY TO START HAPPENING

LIKE THEIR JEEP AND LIKE, HEY,
COOL JEEP. HAVE A GREAT DAY. SO
THE MONSTER STAY PUFFED
WATERFOWL IS MEANT AS A WAY TO
GENERATE A LOT OF AUTO SHOW
HAPPINESS. THIS VERY SCARY
WRAPPED, ER PROWLED THE HALLWAYS
TO STANDING NEXT TO THE JURASSIC
PARK JEEP, BUT YOU’LL FIND IT
ALL OVER THE SHOW FLOOR. THERE
ARE MANY MORE DINOSAURS THAN
THIS GUY, THOUGH THE RIVERFRONT
BALLROOM IS CONVERTING INTO A
DINOSAUR RIDE AND DRIVE AND
THERE ARE MASSIVE BEAST. THE
KIDS ARE REALLY GOING TO ENJOY
GETTING A CLOSE UP. LOOK AT
CLARKSTON RESIDENT MATT FLYNN
RUNS ULTIMATE FUND PRODUCTIONS

THE AUTO SHOW ASKED HIM TO BRING
IT HERE. WE DO DINOSAUR
EXPEDITION ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY EVERY WEEK. WE’RE IN A
DIFFERENT CITY. AND WHEN I HEARD
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO
THE AUTO SHOW, WE DECIDED TO
STOP A TOUR. COME HERE FOR A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN WE’LL
GO BACK ON TOUR IN OCTOBER. WELL
IT’S A FAR CRY FROM SOME OF THE
VIDEO GAMES. THEY USED TO HAPPEN
THE FLOOR HERE AND MATT TOLD ME,
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE NEED
TO RUN TOWARD OR AWAY FROM THOSE
DINOSAURS. BUT EITHER WAY,
EVERYBODY’S HAVING FUN BACK TO

UNIQUE THING. I LOVE THE DUCK

THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND THAT
PEOPLE MAKE SURE THEY SEE WHEN
THEY GET TO THE SHOW. YOU KNOW,
I’VE BEEN GOOD. WE’VE BEEN DOING
THIS WHAT? 27 28 YEARS AND ALL
OF MY TIME. I HAVE NEVER HEARD A
MAYOR SWEAR IN HIS WALK THROUGH
, BUT WE CAUGHT THAT BECAUSE THE
MAYOR WAS IN THE LIGHTNING BOOT
AND THEY SHOT HIM LIKE A CANNON
DOWN THE WAY AND IT’S YOU KNOW,
IT’S LIKE THE SMALL BARRICADE TO
ME. THAT’S MONEY IN THE BANK.
YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT. YOU WILL.
YOU WILL HAVE TO STAND IN LINE.

DEVASTATED THAT IT WON’T BE IN

GOWN. YOU KNOW, AS MOST WOMEN

SKIES. WE DROPPED DOWN INTO THE
MID SIXTIES BY MIDNIGHT FIFTIES
OVERNIGHT, BUT THAT WILL BE THE
LAST COOL NIGHT IT STARTS TO
HEAT UP. AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE
WEEKEND LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE AT LEAST IN THE
EIGHTIES, MAYBE CLOSER TO 90 BY
NEXT WEEK. WE’LL TALK ABOUT IN
THE FORECAST JUST A FEW MINUTES
TOMORROW, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
GOING TO MEET WITH THE FAMILIES
OF PAUL WHELAN AND BRITTNEY
GRINER AT THE WHITE HOUSE. IT
WILL BE THE FIRST IN PERSON
MEETINGS IS THE ADMINISTRATION
TRIES TO NEGOTIATE THEIR RELEASE
FROM RUSSIAN PRISONS. PAUL. WE
LET HIM NOVI SERVING A 16 YEAR
SENTENCE FOR SPYING, AN
ACCUSATION THAT HE IS A LONG AND
CONTINUES TO DENY. THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT’S
FOLLOWING UP ON NEGOTIATIONS
WITH RUSSIA, BUT SAYS THEY HAVE
BEEN COMPLICATED. OF COURSE BY
THE WAR IN UKRAINE WILL FOLLOW
THIS MEETING’S TOMORROW. IS THE
STRESS OF THE WORLD KEEPING YOU
UP AT NIGHT. IF IT IS, YOU ARE
NOT ALONE. QUESTION IN, YOUR
SURVEY FINDS MANY AMERICANS ARE
FINDING IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO
GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP AND THE
TACTICS THAT THEY’RE USING TO
RELAX COULD ACTUALLY BE MAKING
THINGS A LOT WORSE. DR. FRANK
MCGEORGE IS HERE WITH A CLOSER
LOOK AT THIS GROWING PROBLEM,
DOC. IT IS CENTER AND DEVON. YOU
KNOW, IT’S A VICIOUS CYCLE.
NAGGING THOUGHTS AND WORRIES
KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT, LEADING
YOU TODAY’S THAT ARE FILLED WITH
EXHAUSTION AND STRESS. IT’S A
PATTERN THAT IS INCREASINGLY COM
COMMON AS AMERICANS STRUGGLE TO
DEAL WITH THE TURBULENCE OF THE
TIMES. GINA FIORINO OFTEN FINDS
IT DIFFICULT TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
IF SOMETHING IS ON MY MIND OR
SOMETHING THAT’S STRESSFUL, BUT
I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE
OUT OR TO PROCESS SO THAT
FEELING OF YOU KNOW, SOMETHING
HASN’T BEEN RESOLVE THAT WILL
DEFINITELY KEEP ME UP ALL NIGHT
NATIONAL SURVEY BY OHIO STATE
WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER FINDS
SLEEP DEPRIVATION HAS BEEN AN
INCREASING PROBLEMS SINCE THE
PANDEMIC, WITH NEARLY ONE IN
FIVE AMERICANS REPORTING THE
STRUGGLE TO FALL ASLEEP DUE TO
STRESS OVER THE STATE OF THE
WORLD, RAISING A SOON TO BE 10
YEAR OLD. UM, AND YOU KNOW THE
KIND OF CRAZINESS THAT’S BEEN
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. THE PAST
FEW YEARS IS DEFINITELY A
STRESSOR POINT. EVERYBODY’S
STRESSED, AND THERE’S LOTS OF
NEWS. SO I THINK THE INCREASE IN
STRESS, MAYBE ONE OF THOSE
THINGS THAT’S RELATING TO THE
INCREASE IN INSOMNIA, REFERRALS
. WE’RE SEEING THOSE REFERRALS
ARE UP NEARLY 30% SINCE 2018
DOCTOR ANISSA DAS SAYS, PHONE
SCROLLING OR BINGE WATCHING TV
TO TRY AND RELAX CAN FURTHER
DISRUPT OUR SLEEP. SHE
RECOMMENDS RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
INSTEAD, PROGRESSIVE MUST
RELAXATION WHERE YOU
PROGRESSIVELY RELAXED ALL OF
YOUR MUSCLES. STORIES OR
AUDIOTAPES, WHERE YOU THINK
ABOUT SOMETHING RELAXING. THOSE
CAN WORK, BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT
WITH ADDITIONAL BEHAVIORS AS
WELL. THOSE INCLUDE EXERCISE
SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DURING THE DAY
AND MAINTAINING CONSISTENT
BEDTIMES AND WAKE TIMES. IT’S
ALSO IMPORTANT TO MANAGE THE
STRESS THAT’S KEEPING YOU UP IN
THE FIRST PLACE, SOMETHING
THAT’S HELPED GINA GET A GOOD
NIGHT’S SLEEP, HAVING PEOPLE. IN
MY SUPPORT CIRCLE TO BE ABLE TO
SAY THINGS OUT LOUD KIND OF HAS
HELPED MITIGATE SOME OF MY OWN
NEED TO EXPLORE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT. THE SURVEY ALSO FOUND
NEARLY ONE IN FOUR RESPONDENTS
USED PRESCRIPTION OR OVER THE
COUNTER SLEEP. AIDS EXPERTS
REALLY SAY MEDICATION SHOULD BE
A LAST RESORT TO TREAT INSOMNIA
BECAUSE CHANGING BEDTIME HABITS
AND TREATING UNDERLYING PROBLEMS
LIKE DEPRESSION, FRANKLY, ARE
USUALLY MORE EFFECTIVE. IF YOU
HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IMPROVE YOUR
SLEEP ON YOUR OWN TALKING TO
YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR IS
REALLY A GOOD PLACE TO START. I
CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S ONE AND I
FEEL LIKE I’VE HAD SO MANY
CONVERSATIONS LATELY WITH PEOPLE
WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO GET A GOOD
