those agencies on that coast. But yeah, good SIGs great gun.

the state of Florida will be August. That uh, that's
what that gets down to. Fort Pierce Commissioner James Taylor
has tendered his resignation effective this upcoming Saturday. It's one
(02:15):
thing that's kind of weird about the resignation to resigned yesterday,

right now. According to trip Advisor, NASA's Kennedy Spacenter the

galley is remarkable over in Barcelona, but that Basilica in particular,

when I was there in twenty thirteen, and I just
unreal it's been under a conspecially one hundred and fifty years.

It's kind of a reminder too, about you know, we
tend to be the worst tourist at her own backyard.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, it's been years. Gosh. I think my oldest daughter,
who's thirty two, I think she might have been if
she was a teenager. I think the last time we
went to the Kennedy Space Center, and I've been telling
the twelve year old my youngest that we would guess
she's kind of a science kid, so we that's definitely
have to get over it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And I was saying the same thing. I was a
teenager the last time I went. I think it was
like thirteen fourteen, and it's been like over thirty years
for me. And yeah, sure, a lot's change. Good reminder
to kind of get back over. It'll be a sunny,
hot human again today his low nineties, warmer than usual
for this day. We do have mor sa, hear and
dust on the way most of whate have been around
(03:56):
is there's just a thin layer that's over us right now,
but most of it's moved on and we'll see if
the stuff that is currently moving over the Atlantic and
towards the Caribbean makes it to us. I'm not sure
it's going to. But related this is a heron dust.
It's an annoyance from an allergy perspective, but otherwise it's
great during the hurricane season because of course it is
(04:18):
a hurricane repellent. In the Hurricane Center's seven day tropical
outlook remains clear, by the way, and I'll update this
on Thursday with August hurricane history. But right now, we
are pacing the slowest start to a hurricane season since
two thousand and nine. We're starting to get in some
pretty good territory historically, because even the stuff that developed,
