[Culverts on Key Deer and Watson] If they are trying to drain the wetlands they are failing. Why don’t those academics leave the refuge alone. First they removed native plants(poisonwood) now they are draining the wetlands. Why? |

Could World War III start in the Philippines? Tensions are rising in the South China Sea again. Recent videos from the Philippine military show “Chinese Coast Guard personnel ramming and boarding Philippine naval boats and confiscating their weapons,” said Deutsche Welle. The frequent clashes between the two countries could eventually spark a larger conflict involving the U.S. There’s a risk that China and the U.S. — the latter of which has a mutual defense treaty with the Philippines — are “sleepwalking toward World War III” in the region.

[Empty Words] U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared gun violence an “urgent public health crisis” on Tuesday. His first-of-its-kind advisory urged the U.S. to tackle the physical and psychological harms from shootings with the same tools and intensity used to promote smoking cessation, seat belt use and other nonpartisan public health interventions. |

Grizzlies were once staples of the North Cascades in Washington, but the population “declined primarily due to direct killing by humans,” said the National Park Service. Now, the Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service will “restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades ecosystem through the translocation of grizzly bears from other ecosystems in the Rocky Mountains or interior British Columbia.” The plan is to install three to seven bears a year for five to 10 years to achieve an initial population of 25. Ultimately, the agencies aim to bring the population up to 200. Link |

[Mosquito(out of)Control] What is the deal? Swarming. I know it’s been a lot of rain, but no helicopters dropping pellets and no spray trucks in Big Pine? We called a few days ago and they said they cannot spray until the 28th because we are in some sanctuary? I see the helicopter flying in Summerland and in Key West. Spray trucks running in Ramrod. Why do we pay the same on our taxes, yet don’t receive services. |

[Friday Joke] Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, “It’s the pharmacist. He was rude and he insulted me terribly this morning on the phone.” Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the pharmacist and to demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, “Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it… This morning my alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook.” He continued, “Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it…all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer…and, honestly mister, all I did was tell her!” |
