According to reports, Punxsutawney Phil was spotted yesterday riding front and center on a St. Patrick’s Day parade float in Florida, slowly rolling down a palm-lined street while the temperature somehow sits at 88°, 95% humidity, and a thunderstorm forming directly over the parade route.
Witnesses say Phil stood there in a tiny green suit and leprechaun hat, looking deeply confused as sunshine, rain, and lightning all happened at the same time - which locals insist is “perfectly normal Florida weather.”
Officials say this will now be Phil’s new statewide schedule, with mandatory parade appearances across Florida including Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, and anywhere else residents feel personally betrayed by a forecast that said “partly cloudy” but turned into a full tropical monsoon.
Authorities confirm Phil is not permitted to leave the float until the final parade ends. Instead, he’ll remain standing there while thousands of Floridians walk past holding green drinks, staring at him like he personally scheduled the afternoon thunderstorm.
The move comes just days after Florida briefly experienced three hours of beautiful 80° weather, before temperatures dropped back into full winter mode and a thunderstorm rolled in exactly at 3:04 p.m.

At some point during the course of the day this'll be on somewhere,
and I'll have to watch the whole thing again for the 43rd time...

The noise that spooked spring breakers at Daytona Beach and caused massive stampede over the weekend was not caused by gunshots, the sheriff revealed Monday. The panic-causing sound had a much safer origin: people crushing water bottles.
“There were zero gunshots on the beach,” Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said Monday after video showing hundreds of terrified beachgoers fleeing for their lives went viral. Chitwood added that there were 50 deputies in the crowd.
“This incident was, clearly, social media driven. Let’s all go and invade Daytona. And there isn’t a whole lot more we can do other than what we did,” Chitwood said.
More than 80 arrests were made at Daytona Beach over the weekend, including six where weapons were seized. Chitwood said many were for open alcohol container violations.

They call this church the 'Sacred Heart of Errigal'. The 'Church of the Sacred Heart’ is one of Donegal’s, if not Ireland’s most perfectly situated buildings. It was built in 1877 on top of this small hill on the shore of ‘Dunlewey Lough’. Nestled so close to the foot of 'Mount Errigal' that it could almost hide in its shadow. It commands views over the ‘The Poisoned Glen & Crockfadda mountains’ as seen in the distant right. Because of its name The Sacred Heart & its proximity to Errigal Mountain, people often refer to this stunning church as “Errigal’s Heart”. In my mind this makes perfect sense.
This is the church where my niece was married two years ago. The whole ceremony was performed in Gaelic (or as they call it - in 'The Irish') by a priest who looked like Rasputin. Very cool indeed. What a magical place - I feel so lucky to have beem able to visit there often. I'll be back up there again in August, hopefully...

Postmaster General David Steiner will tell a House Oversight subcommittee that USPS needs higher stamp prices, the ability to borrow more money, and other reforms.
Steiner laid out potential options to cut costs: ending six-day-a-week deliveries, closing post offices, or raising first-class mail stamp prices to $1 or more, up from the current $0.78.
