![]() Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended all local COVID-19 emergency orders by executive order on Monday, while signing a law that restricts what both governors and mayors can do during pandemics. “I think that’s the evidence-based thing to do. I think folks that are saying they need to be policing people at this point, if you’re saying that, then you’re really saying you don’t believe in the vaccines.” Link |

[Smart TVs Steal Info] Millions of Chinese smart TVs scanned wifi every 10 minutes, sent personal data to company. That might be disturbing, but in other news, the US Customs and Border patrol bought software that combines the information stored in your cars “black box” monitor with extensive information stored when you connect your smartphone to your car. These innovations are not just for your convenience. Tech geeks claimed that they gained access to Dominion voting machines through a wifi enabled air conditioner thermostat at one polling place and through a wifi aquarium thermostat and smart tv at another.

[Friday Joke] A Native American child goes to his father and asks, “Father, how do parents think of names for their children?” The father answers, “Well, son, the night before the mother gives birth, the father goes into the woods and camps for the night. When he wakes the following morning, the first thing he sees is what he names his child, which is why your sister is named Soaring Eagle. Why do you ask this, Bear Poop? |

[Mooring Fields] The state Legislature has approved a bill that would require boaters in the Florida Keys who are not in a mooring field to move their vessels every 90 days. The bill now awaits the governor’s signature. The bill was recently amended to require 300 new mooring balls be placed about a mile around Key West before the legislation is implemented. The amendment calls for the city of Key West to increase its mooring field by 50 moorings and that 250 new moorings be added around Key West. Link |

The earth pulsates every 26 minutes – always has. The pulse originates in the Gulf of Guinea off the southwest coast of Africa. No one knows why. Could that place be Earth’s heart? Link |

[Keys Are Dead] Keys News.com is the source for what is happening in the Keys, but is it? Reading that blog sheet tells me the Keys have had it as far as real cool humans go and that they have been replaced by sissies, castrated dreamers, the dysfunctional and fruit-loops that see things through their pink Vaseline. The Keys are dead and good riddance! Go ahead builders, scrap them off and build the gated communities you want. UGH! |
![]() There has been, I think, 4 rovers to Mars in the past 20 years or so. I can’t determine which this is – no matter, America’s technology and achievements are the best in the world! Be proud of this, I certainly am. May God continue to bless our America. Video |

[Cleaning Fish] When cleaning your catch, don’t throw fish carcasses into canals or boat basins. They can add excess nutrients into the water. Instead, wrap the fish in newspaper and throw it away. Excess nutrients use up oxygen that is needed by living fish and may cause undesirable algae blooms |
