Us in our 50's....
Our minds think we are 30.
Our bodies act like we're 70.
Our playlist still thinks it's 1987.

Florida's Department of Transportation has revoked use permits for vehicle license plate readers, such as Flock cameras, within the right-of-way of roads on the state highway system, citing an increase in reports of misuse of the systems.

The department said it will cease the issuance of all permits in any future requests for license plate reader systems within its jurisdictional authority.

The DOT revoked all license plate reader-related approvals issued to local law enforcement agencies.

The cameras must be removed within 30 days. Any cameras not removed by then will be removed by the DOT.

This just in:
In the Town of Valdese a would-be thief tried to siphon gas from a car parked at Myra's Smashburgers and Creamery on Main Street. He was hospitalized after accidentally inhaling a mouthful of battery acid. The vehicle, it turns out, was a Tesla.

(of course this is satire)

Today, the world feels a little less bright. We are heartbroken to share that the legendary Dolly Parton has passed away. More than just a country music icon, Dolly was an American treasure, a philanthropist, and a uniting force of pure joy and kindness.

Here at the station, we aren't just losing a voice that has graced our airwaves for decades; we are losing a friend to everyone who ever heard her sing.

A Legacy Spanning Decades
From her humble beginnings in a one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, to global superstardom, Dolly never forgot where she came from. She spun the fabric of her hardscrabble upbringing into musical gold.
She gave us timeless stories through hits like "Coat of Many Colors," "Jolene," and the masterpiece "I Will Always Love You."
Her boundless charisma lit up the silver screen in classics like 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias.
Through her Imagination Library, she mailed hundreds of millions of free books to young children worldwide, including my own, proving that her heart was even bigger than her iconic hair.

"If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours." — Dolly Parton
Dolly lived her life by this motto. She was fiercely independent, effortlessly witty, and universally beloved by people of all walks of life. She bridged divides with a joke, a sequined guitar, and a genuine love for humanity.

Rest in peace, Dolly. You will always be loved.
