Tom Homan threatened to make anti-ICE protesters “famous” in a public database. Basically, he wants the government to dox ordinary citizens: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

So here’s a verified list of many ICE incidents, agents, and vehicles, plus companies to boycott:

Biology Quiz: What the heck are these seeds?

Found lots of these seeds washed up on the beach on central Florida's east coast. About one inch wide, they’re just starting to put out roots. I’ve never noticed them before.

Does anyone know what they are?

Here’s a common sight at the beach.

Smart herons hang out with fishermen, looking cute for a snack. These gray herons are pretty big, too. This one is about 3-4 feet tall. I hope he was rewarded for his patience this morning. 😋

Swarm of Turtle Hatchlings - Long Version

Second morning in a row I’ve found baby turtles boiling out of their nest and running to the sea. They look like little wind-up toys!

There are about 100 eggs in each nest, and they all empty out in just 20 minutes. A rare sight!

UCF Helping Baby Turtles

Here’s the UCF turtle patrol helping hatchlings get on their way. The high surge from Hurricane Imelda has piled up sand over their nests, and this hero was helping the hatchlings escape their nest and get to the sea. Thanks!

I just started The Shattering Peace and loved it so far. But then in Chapter 4 Gretchen finds a cat sitter, no problem at all. That’s just too much of a stretch.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Sea Turtle Digging Her Nest

Turtles usually come ashore at night, but this girl didn’t get started until dawn. Turtles are still nesting even though it’s late in the season.

It’s amazing they can dig their nests with no tools other than their flippers. See the sand fly!

Turtle Eggs

Sea turtle eggs look just like ping-pong balls!

Hurricane Erin is bringing big waves and high tides to Florida’s east coast. The high surf is uncovering turtle nests — some were already hatched, and some, unfortunately, were still incubating. See photos of both.
