Speaker 1 (00:01):
Sunday ninety nine point one Houston's Best Variety of the
eighties nineties, and today I'm Dana with producer Anthony and
the three Things you Need to Know to get your
Monday April twenty seven started love bugs.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's a takeover.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
It's because it's warmer, about four degrees warmer than normal
this time of year, so the love bugs do not
get any pesticides out. I know they're messing up your
windshielders everywhere, but they're really good for gardens. Apparently they
eat a lot of the dead stuff that's on the gardens,
adding nutrients to the soil. So yes, they may be
a nuisance, but they're definitely something that we need so

(00:37):
we can have amazing rosemary and basil and all our
garden veggies. So just deal with them. They won't be
here very long, you know. The way that works. TSU
is expanding its reach into aviation opened up a cool
facility at Ellington Airport TSU Houston Spaceport, that's what it's called.
Students will now have access to deeper hands in flight instructions,

(01:00):
so that'll be really cool for them. And before they
can reopen Camp Mystic and one hundred and seventy three
other Texas summer camps have to come up with a
new emergency plan. They've got forty five days to submit
emergency plans that are up to par and then they
can try to renew their license. Now, weather today, it's
going to feel like summertime for sure. Starting out cloudy,

(01:22):
then it's going to be sunny. We'll go up to
ninety two a heat index, making it feel like one hundred.
Right now, it's already seventy eight and uptown and you're
up to date from Sunday ninety nine point one, sunny.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Ninety nine point one with Dana in the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Getting your day started, feeling good, Cray good, say give
us your good news.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Tell me something good brought to us by our friends
at Goodwill Houston. While Officer Aikins, a Paralam police officer,
took off his vest his duty gear, climbed down and
crawled through a narrow tunnel.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
He was on a rescue mission.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Mission accomplished, he gathered these cute little ducklet were stuck,
gathered them in a bucket, and brought them back up.
A business owner in the area reported the ducklings trapped
in this storm drain and Aikins brought them back to
their mom and dad, who were pacing back and forth
very anxious.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Of course they weren't gonna leave. Of course great.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I love that, so Officer Aikins, thank you for doing
that for those little ducklings.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Producer Anthony Dane. Good news for our cruise goers. Carnival
Cruise Line is expanding its footprint in Texas in a
pretty big way. They just announced plans to bring one
of its newest and largest ships to Galveston. They said
