This 72-Year-Old Baker is Taking Over Saskatchewan (One Bun at a Time)!
Meet Jim Hadfield, a baking legend from Milestone, Saskatchewan. At 72 years old, this self-taught baker is in his second act!
Self-taught baker: Jim retired in 2007 and decided to bake his own bread since he couldn't find anything he liked in stores. Soon after, he mastered buns, cinnamon buns, and cakes too!
From hobby to business: After encouragement from a stranger who loved his cinnamon buns, Jim launched his business, "Jim's Bread, Buns & Cakes," in 2007.
Social media success: Jim uses Facebook to connect with his 17,000 followers and, share his menu and take orders.
Holiday favourite: Jim's Christmas fruitcakes are a huge hit - he bakes hundreds yearly, with pre-orders filling up months in advance!
Passion for baking: Jim loves creating all his treats - from cakes to buns - and enjoys sharing them with his community.
Why this matters: This story is an inspiration for anyone looking for a second act. It shows that you're never too old to learn a new skill and turn your passion into a successful business!

Hold on to Your Hats! Tesla to Unveil "Robotaxi" in August, But Will It Actually Drive Itself?
Tesla Robotaxi unveil on 8/8
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk)
8:49 PM • Apr 5, 2024
Here's the scoop on Tesla's self-driving taxi announcement:
Big announcement, little detail: Elon Musk announced a Tesla "robotaxi" reveal on August 8th, but no details about the car's capabilities were revealed.
Broken promises? Tesla has a history of missing deadlines for self-driving features. Their 2019 prediction of robotaxis by 2020 hasn't come true.
Technically not self-driving (yet): Current "Full Self-Driving Capability" requires driver supervision and isn't truly autonomous.
Experts are skeptical: Testing by Consumer Reports indicates the current system is unreliable and requires constant driver attention.
The competition is also facing issues: Other companies like Waymo and Cruise have also encountered problems with their self-driving vehicles.
Why this matters: As a generation drawn to innovation and convenience, self-driving cars promise both, but the technology seems to be further off than originally promised. It's important to stay informed about the reality of this technology before getting too excited.
