 I have acquired a stained-glass window that was in a house on Little Torch Key. The window is signed and numbered by R. Rossi -Big Pine Key. I am trying to find out any information on the artist, timing (likely the 80’s) or any other information. Thought given your knowledge if BPK history and the Glass Works, you might have some information or ideas. |
| [HardTalk with Stephen Sackur] The BBC is shutting down its most popular news program, HardTalk with Stephen Sackur, after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. He was the only truly neutral interviewer on air. He would not let his questions go unanswered no matter who he was interviewing. The BBC is cutting back on its news programs because they cost too much to produce. Link |

| [“Need more affordable housing”] The County should streamline permitting for flood-compliant downstairs units and enforce strict safety codes. Give priority to locals for occupancy and require owners to meet hurricane protections (elevated electrical, proper exits, flood vents). This approach boosts rental supply without triggering endless mainland demand and keeps renters safe during storms, but pisses off developers who oppose renting downstairs enclosures. They all want new construction. |

 What are unlaid chicken eggs called? Eyerlekh (Yiddish for “little eggs”) are unlaid eggs found inside just-slaughtered chickens, and typically cooked in soup. They were historically common in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, but their usage has become much less frequent with the rise of prepackaged chicken parts. The albumin and the shell haven’t formed yet. |

 [Apes Getting High] Picture this: a group of hairy, wild primates bounding across the African savannas stumbles upon a patch of strange mushrooms growing on dung. Curious and hungry, they eat them. Their senses sharpen, colors brighten, patterns emerge, and social bonds strengthen. Over time, these psychedelic encounters sparked a breakthrough in cognition—sharper vision, deeper social ties, and, eventually, the dawn of language. Early primates evolved into Homo sapiens, who continue to consume consciousness-inducing magic mushrooms. Link |

 [The Great Egg Discussion] Is there a chick in that fertilized egg? While chickens can have eggs without a rooster. You need a rooster in order to have chicks. But having chicks entails more than just a rooster. A fertilized chicken egg is only a potential for a chick. The embryo won’t even begin to make any changes for about a week after it’s laid and only if certain conditions are perfect. In order for a chick to form and eventually hatch, an egg must be brooded, either by the hen or in an electric brooder, at a consistent temperature and humidity level with regular movement for about 21 days. |

 [Tough Week For Pedestrians] Three pedestrians were killed in the Florida Keys in two separate car crashes late last week, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. On Friday, a 70-year-old man from North Carolina was walking on the sidewalk along the southbound lanes of U.S. 1 at mile marker 90 in Plantation Key around 8:40 p.m. when a Hyundai IONIQ drove off the highway and hit him. The 46-year-old Florida man, who police had not named as of Sunday, stayed on scene, and a criminal investigation is pending. The FHP has also not named the victim, who died after being taken to Mariners Hospital in Tavernier.The night before, around 8:05 p.m., a couple from Ohio was walking across U.S. 1 at mile marker 79 in Upper Matecumbe Key when they were struck by a Kia sedan driving south on the highway. The 78-year-old woman died at the scene, and her 81-year-old husband died after paramedics took him to Jackson South Medical Center in Miami-Dade County. Again, the FHP did not name the victims nor the driver as of Sunday. Alcohol or drugs were not a factor in the crash. |
