Today's video of the day comes to us once again from the people at Great Big Story.  This one is about a man, Steve Feltham, who has been camped out on the banks of Loch Ness waiting for a glimpse at Nessie. 

Great Big Story is a digital platform from CNN that consistantly does some of the best video journalism out there. They focus on small stories, on character, and follow all the rulse we talk about here. Check out some of their other stuff!

The Loch Ness Monster is one of our most enduring myths. People have sought to uncover ol’ Nessie’s secrets for 1,500 years. But only one man has devoted his life to learning the truth … and living alone in a van by the loch to do so. Meet Steve Feltham, Nessie’s full-time watchman since 1991.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
