A type of white-tailed deer unique to the Florida Keys has been on the endangered species list for nearly 60 years. Only about 800 Key deer remain, and their habitat is under growing threat from rising sea levels.

It’s breezy out there today, but #WePilots train to land in the most extreme of conditions and remember a go-around is a great decision and not a failure, as many perceive it. It’s all in a days work for some of the most dedicated professionals I know. teapawt.net/ilove_aviation/status/…

🚨#BREAKING: Multiple Emergency Response Teams has been Deployed to Address Submerged Barge Carrying 1,400 Tons of Toxic Methanol in the Ohio River
📌#Louisville | #Kentucky
A major incident has taken place in the Ohio River near Louisville, Kentucky, requiring multiple emergency response teams. Ten barges have detached from their tugboat and are stranded at a dam, with one carrying over 1,400 tons of methanol, a highly toxic substance, and reportedly sinking. It is uncertain if there has been any leakage, but if so, the substance will likely dilute quickly, although some fish mortality may occur. The other barges were carrying soybean oil and corn.

Here's an unusual call. Dispatched as a hit and run involving a pedestrian, a deputy finds out the victim of the hit and run was loading stolen merchandise onto his bike when he was hit by a vehicle. When asked about the stolen items he replied, “I guess that’s karma.”

While admitting one more question needs to be added: do loud repetitive noises annoy you?
