![]() I have repeatedly said I was done putting on this event the past few years. It’s a lot to deal with sometimes. However, making it this far I have decided to shoot for 2 more with Wetstock 2.0 possibly being a 2-day event and absolutely my last! A 20-year celebration with a 2 day blow with some of the bands we’ve had over the years, and possibly more. The 2 day celebration of 20 years is not definite at this time, but, we’ll see…Take only pictures and leave only footprints. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Your friend, Flip Flop Bob |

[Friday Joke] The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn’t paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him. IRS AUDITOR: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them”. Boat Owner: “Well, there’s T-boi , my deckhand, he’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there’s the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of jack Daniel’s Tennessee honey and a dozen Bush wackas every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally”. IRS AUDITOR: “That’s the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one”. Boat Owner: “That would be me. What would you like to know?” |

We don’t know when they will do it so or if it will effect the viewer experience.

![]() You’re not going to like this first (and most important) recommendation – the OE situation in Florida is now so out of control that I’m actually recommending that people in Florida remove all of their milkweed in their own yards – both native and non-native. Yikes! I know this sounds crazy, but that’s how bad it’s gotten now. Link |

[Transgender Research Stifled] Critical thinking and open debate are pillars of scientific and medical research. Yet experienced professionals are increasingly scared to openly discuss their views on the treatment of children questioning their gender identity. This is from a review of gender identity services for children this week, which warned that a toxic debate had resulted in a culture of fear. This conclusion was echoed by doctors, academic researchers and scientists, who have said this climate has had a chilling effect on research in an area that is in desperate need of better evidence. Professionals in the field are scared to discuss views amid risk of reputational damage and online abuse. |

[Internet Fees] Internet providers must now be more transparent about fees, pricing. Much like nutritional labels on food products, “broadband labels” for internet packages will soon tell you just what is going into the pricing of your service, thanks to new rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission this week.

[Friday Joke] A young woman was pulled over for speeding. A Pennsylvania State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book. She said, “I bet you are going to try to sell me a ticket to the Pennsylvania Trooper’s Ball.” He replied, “Pennsylvania State Troopers don’t have balls.” There was a moment of silence. He closed his ticket book, tipped his hat, got back in his patrol car and left. |
