After the rains this week, a pair of swans found the drainage ditch on Pelican Sound Drive near Tamiami Trail a good place to forage.

Florida saw a number of fireworks-related injuries during the 2025 Fourth of July celebrations, with several incidents reported across the state:

Hillsborough County: Multiple people suffered devastating injuries, including a 10-year-old boy who required surgery after shrapnel pierced his chest. Two others experienced partial or full hand amputations, and several had damaged eardrums

Steve Gottfried reported solving a water pressure issue at his home.

He contacted Lee County Utilities at 239-533-8845.

Lee County Utilities promptly came out and ran a pressure check. It read 38 psi which is in tolerance and checked a few things. The man from Lee County Utilities told Steve to run all the faucets and showers for about 5 minutes to purge any air out of the system.

He also flushed the nearest fire hydrant to make sure there were no blockages.
