#Snow squall in #FernandinaBeach #Florida. The neighborhood kids are a *little* excited 😆 Second year in a row we’ve had snow on #AmeliaIsland after 36 years. But please tell me how climate change isn’t real 🙄
There’s one sport that evidence shows helps you live a longer life - and I’d argue a better life. Hint: it’s not pickleball 😝🎾 www.nytimes.com/video/well/m...

Just a reminder that that turkey likely needs to be in the fridge today if it’s gonna be thawed by Thanksgiving…
This is what happens when Congress abdicates its oversight role. Vaccines do not cause autism. That is settled science. Back in my day agencies used to be response to their oversight committees.

My U10 soccer team was trying to cute with their use of Gen Z slang. Bless their hearts. But this Gen Xer hit them with Pauly Shore (buuuudddiiieeesszzz). Minds blown. (But what is he saying coach?!?!? 😆🤣😝) youtu.be/RlILZNz04Lo
