Riddle: What can travel around the world while staying in a corner? The answer is waiting at the very bottom.

Good morning, Northwest.

Veterans Day lands midweek, libraries close Wednesday, and the Giving Machine rolls back into Downtown Summerlin on Thursday with a 10:30 a.m. kickoff. Before that, a therapy dog visits Centennial Hills teens and Fresh52 holds its winter hours at Bruce Trent Park.

This week:

Have a quiet Wednesday if you need one.

Meet Rocky, a 4-year-old male Shepherd-Husky mix (ID 18435). Nevada SPCA says he can be a little nervous at first, then shows his loving side, and that he is friendly with other dogs and kids and loves treats and tennis balls.

Nevada SPCA, 5375 South Procyon Street #108, Las Vegas. Adoption fee is $65. See details →

The holiday Giving Machine returns Thursday for its eighth Southern Nevada season. Think of it as a charity vending machine: you pick an item priced from $5 to $125, and the donation goes straight to a local or global need instead of into a stocking.

Downtown Summerlin opens first at 10:30 a.m. at the Promenade, with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys set to make the first donation. A second machine opens the same day at The District at Green Valley Ranch. Both stay up through Jan. 3 during regular shopping hours.

Local beneficiaries include Catholic Charities, Foster Kinship, Future Smiles, Baby's Bounty, Eye Care 4 Kids and The Just One Project. Since 2017, Southern Nevada donors have put nearly $4 million into almost 200,000 items. If you want a concrete Thursday errand after coffee, this is an easy one.
