 [Key Deer Research and Response Program] The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), will host a Volunteer Open House on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Nature Center located at 30587 Overseas Highway, Big Pine Key, FL 33043. This event will mark the official launch of the Key Deer Research and Response Program, a new initiative designed to engage volunteers to support Key deer conservation by increasing our capacity to monitor their population, respond to injured and entangled deer, and improve public awareness of the issues Key deer face. The Key Deer Research and Response Program will train volunteers to assist in field observations, data collection, public outreach, and response to wildlife incidents. This collaborative effort aims to strengthen the connection between the community, the refuge, and FWC while enhancing the capacity to monitor and protect the Key deer population. |

 [Captain Doom and Gloom] This is getting too close for comfort in my book! A dystopia (lit. “bad place”) is an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives. It is an imagined place (possibly state) in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. |

| [Friday Joke] A man was in a hospital, wearing an oxygen mask, heavily sedated after a four-hour surgery. A young nurse came in, ready to give him a sponge bath. “Nurse,” he mumbled, “Are my testicles black?” Embarrassed, she replied, “I don’t know, sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body.” He struggled to ask again: “Nurse, are my testicles black?” Concerned that he might elevate his vitals, she reluctantly pulled back the covers. She took his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other, moving them around to inspect them. Then she said, “No, sir, they aren’t black, and I assure you, there’s nothing wrong with them.” The man weakly took off his oxygen mask and said, “Thank you. That was wonderful but listen closely… A r e – m y – t e s t – r e s u l t s – b a c k?” |
