I’d gladly buy this mug, and of course I’d keep the sticker!

Mug of the day

According to the article, the dog walker survived and is recovering in the hospital.
The headline could still use a little work. When I read it, I imagined this scene:
Dog walker: I’m so sorry, m’lady, but I got jumped and they took the dogs!
Lady Gaga: Fool! You have failed me for the last time! **BANG**
I never thought I’d want a golf cart until I saw this one — a custom one-of-a-kind “Flintstones”-themed cart rebuilt from the ground up. Someone in nearby Ruskin, Florida is selling it for $12,000 or best offer.
Here’s what their ad in Facebook Marketplace has to say:
Used — like new.
Custom built one of a kind flintstone golf cart.
Cart has been rebuilt from the ground up
Brand new tires
Batteries
Waterproof radio & speakers
All custom fiberglass work and professional grade automotive wrap
Rear cargo doubles as a cooler and has a drain built in

Price is obo contact for more info. More pictures available on request.
I must admit it; I’m tempted.
Yes, we can be “America’s drainpipe for weirdos” sometimes, but we’re also a blessed tropical paradise.
While the rest of the country’s enduring near-freezing, freezing, or sub-freezing temperatures, the temperatures here have been ranging from 79°F (26°C) here in the Tampa Bay area to 84°F (29°C) along the east coast.

Here’s some context, because readers might not get the reference a few years from now:
- New York Times: Gorilla Glue as Hair Spray? ‘Bad, Bad, Bad Idea’
- New York Times: ‘A Big Relief’ for Woman Finally Free of Gorilla Glue in Her Hair
- NBC News: After surgery, Louisiana woman’s hair is free of Gorilla Glue
Thankfully, with the help of some kindly doctors, she got the stuff out. Which is good, because Gorilla Glue and Gorilla Tape are my go-tos for when I want to make sure things stay stuck together.
My hunch that Trader Joe’s Tampa would be a ghost town last night during Super Bowl LV’s half-time paid off. It was the perfect time to make a quick but important grocery run, as you can see from the photo I took while at the cashier (see above).
This run was important because there are better-than-even odds that we’ll experience a COVID-19 spike, thanks to Super Bowl superspreader gatherings like the one in the picture below, taken in Ybor City on Saturday night…

…and covered in the following articles:
- Washington Post — Thousands of maskless Tampa fans flooded the streets, celebrating the Super Bowl win while risking a superspreader event
- New York Times — In Tampa, Super Bowl Celebrations Bring Superspreader Concerns
- WFTS Tampa Bay — Tampa crowds, dance parties spark superspreader concerns over Super Bowl weekend

My advice: Be particularly careful over the next couple of weeks, because a lot of people were careless over the past couple of days.
