  [Tropical storm Helena] Greenville, South Carolina. And yes, that’s my house. So needless to say, I won’t be submitting any new articles until I can get this fixed.

| [Captain Doom and Gloom] I just tried to back up my desktop master hard drove (HD) to two slave HDs and realized how much I’ve forgotten how to do. Then I realized that it is next to useless anyway because if evil shuts off the electricity, nothing works anyway. It’s scary to think 9 billion people are dependent on a spark. Now about you people with hand jobs and no printouts of your data! HA! Like an infamous First Lady once said, “When everything goes down, the only survivors will be big fat hookers.” |

 [Pete Rose Is Dead] The MLB all-time hits leader, dies at 83. Off the field he was a bad guy on the field he was amazing. Because of his continual bad behavior he should not be in the Hall of Fame.

| [United Way of Collier and the Keys] Mr. Smith, a Naples resident who is now living in his renovated home thanks to the support of UWCK and our community partners. After Hurricane Ian, Mr. Smith returned to find significant flood damage to his kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and more. Though he began repairs on his own, with help from neighbors, he soon realized he needed more assistance. That’s when he connected with United Way of Collier and the Keys. Our disaster case managers helped Mr. Smith navigate the complex process of securing permits and gathering the resources needed to rebuild. “The United Way was instrumental in getting me over the hump—from survival to living in the property again,” Mr. Smith shared. |

 [Temperance Cup] his rather plain looking cup was either meant to teach people a lesson in moderation or demonstrate the philosopher’s sense of humor. Pythagoras crafted the cup to inspire people to drink wine in moderation. Inside the cup there is a line that defines the maximum level of wine the cup can hold. A trickle above that line and the cup automatically empties its contents from a hidden hole in its base. Link |
