Stingrays score after Gillies makes some pretty good saves. Now 1-1 but Solar Bears about to go on the power play. Not that they’ve scored on it tonight, but 🤞

Buddy was simply the best cat we’ve ever had the privilege to know. He was a neighborhood cat that ended up with us when his other humans had to leave the area. A consummate gentleman and just the most chill boy, he knew and responded to his name #Caturday

Good news everybody! The swamp isn’t expected to completely swallow the playground for another six weeks, so it’s still safe to send your kids out there!

After a first period that kind of settled into a torpor, it’s 0-0. We seem to be holding our own with the Stingrays who are second in the division #OrlandoSolarBears #OrlandoHockey

don't forget it: Libraries BUY tons of books! And the more they circulate, the more they have to purchase more copies as they wear out (or the e-book checkouts expire). libraries and schools buy a huge portion of the books by new, local, and lesser-known authors. Use the library!
Yes exactly! Don't feel bad like you're not supporting authors if you use the library. You totally are & we're grateful!
Ooh, I feel that. But! The more that we use our libraries, the better funded they become, and they *do* pay for their books (including e-books!), so the author is still being paid for their work and you're supporting the librarians and excellent people who work right there in your community <3
