A couple spotted a man on I-75 in Florida on the side of the road, working on his golf game. Cars were whizzing by at top speed as he was teeing off at his own made-up hole. Let’s hope he’s a straight shooter, otherwise a car might be in for a surprise. You can see in this video just how close he was to the freeway!
It’s almost officially summer, which means, mosquitoes are going to be out in full effect. A recent study, found that mosquitoes are more attracted to people who wear red, orange or black clothes. Green, Purple, Blue or White are much better options, especially in the long-sleeve version. You should always try to cover up your skin obviously. First, they find us by the CO2 from our breath, then their eyes scan for color patterns of the host and head to them. Our skin, emits a strong, red/orange signal to the skeeters, which is why you should avoid those colors. It’s a great excuse to get some new summer clothes!
Mosquitos are stored in tubes for examination at the Beach Mosquito Control District.

Kingsland, Arkansas is the hometown of Johnny Cash. To honor him, his outline is on the town’s water tower.

The Mexican Pizza is returning to Taco Bell — May 19th. And if you a Taco Bell Loyalty member, you get it two days early. So even fast food has its VIP culture. Wow.
Speaking of culture (maybe?), you apparently will get to see a TikTok musical about this beloved menu item that will star both Dolly Parton and Doja Cat.
How? Why?
It all started when Doja Cat wrote a “contractually” obligated jingle about the Mexican Pizza leaving the menu. From there, it spiraled into one of those ironic, viral moments. And Taco Bell has decided to embrace the satire.
