A Canadian team hasn't won the Cup since 1993 (I still haven't forgiven Marty McSorley for that year's game 2). I'd be okay with it this year...
I have heard there are 2 competing companies trying to get an expansion team here in Atlanta. Have they not learned? We have had 2 already and both left for Canada. Third time is the charm?
Amongst the things I love about hockey is that Atlanta can't support a team yet Dallas can...

Governor DeSantis Signs Legislation to Bring Relief to Condo Owners
This is definitely a good thing for Florida! (See, I do post positives about DeSantis and the Florida Legislature. I wish I could do it more often.)
Republican representative’s ectopic pregnancy clashes with Florida abortion law
Kat Cammack blames left’s fearmongering after medical staff hesitated to give her drugs needed to end pregnancy
www.theguardian.com
TL;DR:
1. GOP state representative has ectopic pregnancy, goes to hospital.
2. She needed a specific drug.
3. Under FL's new abortion law, doctors were afraid that they would lose their licenses if they administered said drug.
4. It took several hours to get things sorted out, during which time her condition deteriorated.
5. She finally received the drug, and has recovered.
6. She blames liberals for her plight.
Death row inmates to be 'beheaded and hanged' after new US law passed, lawyers fear
Florida officials now have the power to use a wider range of execution methods after the HB 903 bill was passed, but legal experts warned it is 'reckless'.
Basically, the law allows Florida to use any method of execution that hasn't been found to be unconstitutional. Arthur Charles Herbert Runcie MacAdam Jarrett, perhaps your time has come?!?

We've received allegations that local government officials across the state have been instructing their staff to delete, alter, or fabricate information before Florida DOGE site visits.
This is not acceptable.
FDLE digital forensic specialists will support auditors from Florida DOGE and FL CFO @GovGoneWild.
We are putting local governments on notice: any effort to mislead our DOGE teams, conceal city or county activities, or pressure staff to be less than forthcoming or truthful will not be tolerated.
LOL. "If we don't find liberal malfeasance, then there must be a coverup." DeSantis and his goon squads are such a joke.
Unearthing the Past: Remains of America’s First Settlers Discovered Under a Florida Wine Shop
In the heart of St. Augustine — America's oldest continuously inhabited European-established city — archaeologists have made an astonishing discovery beneath an unassuming wine shop: a colonial-era burial site dating back to the late 1500s.
During renovations at the shop, located just steps from the iconic Castillo de San Marcos, excavators uncovered seven skeletons, including three children and a young European woman, all believed to be among the earliest European settlers in North America. Pottery shards and artifacts found nearby date these remains to between 1572 and 1586, the same period when Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and his crew were establishing the first permanent Spanish foothold in what would become the United States.
Archaeologist Carl Halbirt emphasized the weight of the find: “What you’re dealing with is the very foundation of St. Augustine. It’s a humbling experience. We approach this with the utmost respect.”
The bones offer a rare and intimate glimpse into the challenges faced by early settlers: malnutrition, disease, and the harsh realities of colonizing a new land. The presence of children’s graves speaks to the fragility of life during this era — and the high cost paid by those striving to build a new world.
As science unravels more about who these individuals were — where they came from, how they lived, and how they died — their silent stories breathe new life into the cobbled streets of St. Augustine. What other secrets might lie just beneath our feet?
