LARGO, Fla. (AP) — Twenty-something years ago, James Pendergraft took a reporter to a fossil site in Polk County. On that day, he was dazzling, spotting and identifying the ribs and teeth of extinct dugongs and sharks and mammoths. Now, in 2018, he walked Indian Rocks Beach, scanning for forgotten flip flops, washed-up foam buoys and cheap sunglasses. This had become part of his ritual, most days around sunrise. Wearing his faded "Paleontologists dig it" T-shirt, he studied lighter-colored, rectangular spots on the sand. Читать дальше...

Dear Abby: My wife and I have a disagreement about when a person should be allowed to get up from the table. We have an 8-month-old son whom we both want to grow up to have good manners.

DELAND, Fla. (AP) — People have become emboldened to bring their pets along on public outings thanks to legal gray areas and widespread availability of service animal insignia. When Eric Jakob's blood sugar levels are out of balance, Tinkerbell knows. "She can smell it," said Jakob, of DeLand, a six-year diabetic and soon-to-be service dog owner. His 2½-year-old yellow Labrador will lick him hurriedly, whine or nuzzle to get his attention. "She actually deciphers (if my sugar is high or low)" and speeds or slows her licking motion accordingly. Читать дальше...

The California myth is perhaps most overt in the so-called “programmatic” or novelty roadside architecture of the early twentieth century, the massive plaster animals and igloo-shaped buildings that line the freeways, beckoning passersby to stop for a photo-op or a snow cone on a hot day.
