It's dry here. How dry is it? Really friggin' dry...
From Accuweather.com - Florida faces one of its driest periods in decades, with severe drought gripping most of the state, fueling wildfires and raising concerns as rainfall remains limited heading into the early stages of the wet season.
Nearly all of Florida is experiencing drought, and while some areas will have an uptick in showers, thunderstorms and humidity, others may receive little to no rain in the coming weeks.
More than 72% of Florida is experiencing Level 3 or Level 4 drought, the two most severe categories, according to the United States Drought Monitor. River and stream levels in the northern third of the state are very low.
"The current drought is rivaling that of the period from 1998 to 2002," AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin said. "There are about 8 million more people in Florida now than around the start of the new millennium, putting additional strain on available water supplies.
Ya can't 'Hold that Tiger'...
Okay - so Tiger's having another bad hair week. We get it. Despite a turbulent life off the course, the latest chapter of which saw Woods roll his car before being arrested on DUI charges last week, he has amassed quite the fortune during his 30-year career. A recent analysis by sports business publication Sportico revealed the best-paid athletes in history, with the American netting himself an impressive second-place. His estimated earnings, when adjusted for inflation, ballooned to $ 2.88 billion.
Over $100million of that figure is attributed to his competition winnings, having a joint-record 82 PGA Tour wins, and 15 major titles. But the vast majority of the funds comes through endorsement deals, including the likes of Nike, Gatorade, American Express and Rolex.
But all that money lays isn't even close to the fortune of the rich-list table-topper, Basketball icon Michael Jordan. The 63-year-old set records with his monster NBA contracts, but is still raking it in thanks to his range of brand deals, pushing his inflation-adjusted earnings to $ 4.5 billion. He has acted as a spokesperson for Coca Cola and McDonalds, but his most lucrative agreement came through Nike, with his Jordan line of sneakers – though the Jordan brand has now expanded into a sportswear empire.
Working from your own home is fined. And that's not a typo...
Bali Ramnarace was ordered to remove his 10-foot commercial box truck from his Boynton Beach property, a request he says would make his life more difficult because of his physical limitations. “It’s ridiculous what they’re doing to people. People make a living by this,” Ramnarace told WPTV.
The single father said he’s been parking the vehicle in his own driveway for 45 years, and it physically helps him each day.
Boynton Beach City officials argued Ramnarace’s truck violates the municipal code, which is aimed at regulating vehicles in residential areas. The code is intended to protect “property values and character of property within residential areas” by eliminating larger vehicles, including trucks, tractors, heavy equipment and buses from parking in certain neighborhoods for more than 15 minutes.
Along with the $345 fine, Ramnarace would be fined an additional $75 for each month he continues to violate the policy.
We'll discuss the whole 'handicapped handyman' thing at another time. As they say in the bars - 'We don't care where you go, but you can't stay here...'

Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin said no to five bills to protect kids. WTF is wrong with these people?
I wonder how Packers fans feel about this. He announced this on 'Transgender Day of Visibility', which was supposed to be on Easter Sunday, of all days. Evers called the proposed bills “anti-trans.” Many see them as safeguards for children, sports, bathrooms, and parents.
Lawmakers aimed to fix key issues:
• Schools must tell parents if a kid wants to change gender - no secrets from moms and dads.
• Stop boys who say they are girls from girls’ sports - boys are stronger by nature.
• Protect girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms - only girls allowed for safety and privacy.
• Ban gender lessons too young; no drugs or surgeries for kids until grown.
Parents want to lead. What they don't want is for schools to hide things from parents and confusing their children. Evers’ veto takes family power away. Girls lose in sports and privacy when boys join.
Saying “hell no” on Easter feels like a slap in the face for all Christians, Jews and moderates. Trump and Republicans back these protections nationwide.
It's only twisted fuckwad liberals like this guy who keep chasing this rainbow coalition of bad ideas...

It's that time of year again in Cali. How will Gavin screw the pooch this time?
We all agree that California sucks and the Santa Anna winds blow, but all jokes aside, ya think - with all the practice they've had - they'll finally figure out how to deal wth these seasonal fires?
It was not immediately known how many households are under evacuation warnings or orders. The Springs Fire was burning in a populated - but not densely so - unincorporated part of Riverside County, in a recreational area near the city of Moreno Valley, which has a population of roughly 200,000.
With Santa Ana wind gusts of over 50 mph, the fire is spreading through an area with highly flammable fuel, The LA Times reported. The city is 10 miles southeast of Riverside and 64 miles east of Los Angeles. 'It's windy out there,' said Maggie Cline De La Rosa, a public information officer for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in Riverside County.
The times they are a-changin' - and not for the better...

of the bargain, leaving us boomers to carry the load...
Heineken announced last month that it plans to cut up to 6,000 jobs globally and expects slower profit growth in 2026 as the beer industry grapples with weak demand.
The reductions represent nearly 7% of the Dutch company’s approximately 87,000 employees worldwide. The beer giant said the cuts are part of a broader strategy aimed at strenghtening its operations while continuing to invest in growth.
"To fuel the growth and the profit, we are stepping up productivity initiatives and making changes to our operating model," Heineken Chief Financial Officer Harold van den Broek told investors on a call announcing the company’s annual earnings results. "We are moving to a simpler, leaner Heineken centered on empowered operating companies."
Van den Broek said between 5,000 and 6,000 roles will be eliminated over the next two years, as the company redirects it's focus to more non- and low-alcohol content products.
They should be ashamed of themselves. I can't put it any other way. Maybe, if you dropped your price point and stopped pretending you're some kind of premium product when you're just another beer, maybe people'd drink more, you jackasses.

Passenger traffic also declined, falling about 6 percent in 2025 at Harry Reid International Airport, which is served by major carriers including American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Air. December traffic - typically boosted by holiday travel - fell an even steeper 10.3 percent.
While conventions remain relatively strong, the weakness is in leisure travel - the city's lifeblood. 'I think this is more of a microcosm of where the American consumer is than necessarily telling us where the American economy is going,' said Andrew Woods, who heads the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Nevada.
That's just an absolute crock of shit, Mr. Woods. For 50 years, Vegas and New Jersey were the only games in town for true, degenerate gamblers (like me).
If you haven't noticed, 450 new casinos have opened nationwide over the past 30 or so years nationwide. Nevada and New Jersey were the only states with legal casino gambling. Then, the flood gates opened. First, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) passed in 1988. It was followed by laws in Iowa, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, and Illinois authorizing riverboat gambling and, in Colorado and South Dakota, limited-stakes gaming in 19th-century mining towns. That was just the first of several waves since then, so that now most people in the country have casinos somewhere close by.
At the same time the commercial casinos were expanding, so was Indian gaming. Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and New York were the first states to sign compacts with tribes that allowed them to offer casino gambling.

Gavin Newsome has repeatedly - and emphatically - stated that there is 'absolutely zero' phony voting in his State. Well played, Mr. Kahn...

The weather lady on WESH2 Orlando news said yesterday that the reason we're in a draught here in Florida is because we didn't have any hurricane impacts last year.
So, what's happening now is because something DIDN'T HAPPEN
a year ago. Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.

Have an iPhone? Better check this out tootsweet...
Apple has released an emergency iOS update, urging millions of iPhone users to download it now. The company expanded the availability of its iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7 updates to a much wider range of devices, warning that the software contains critical protections against a cyberattack method known as DarkSword. Apple said this allows more users with automatic updates enabled to receive protection from what it described as web-based attacks.
The DarkSword exploit kit, first identified in 2025, is designed to target vulnerable Apple devices and secretly install malicious software. Security researchers said the attack is triggered when a user visits a legitimate website that has been secretly infected with malicious code, a tactic known as a 'watering hole attack.'
Once activated, the malware can install hidden backdoors that allow hackers to maintain long-term access to a device and steal sensitive information.
Experts warned that a newer version of the hacking tool has now leaked online, raising fears that additional cybercriminal groups could begin using it in broader attacks.
