Welcome to the first day of summer. June 20th has ushered in quite the bout of good news. The National Park Foundation is looking for your best picture of a bison. Winnie the Pooh has a grandchild — unconfirmed whether or not the aforementioned child’s name is, in fact, Minnie the Pooh. We are also now privy to the definitive list of the best restaurants in the world, except Roberta’s isn’t on there, so someone should probably write a strongly worded letter to whoever put that one together. The Flow Farmers Market is hitting Fort Lauderdale every Saturday — join us for local live music and fresh veggies this weekend. And last, but certainly not least, the world’s oldest lemur, one Stumpy Rings, just celebrated his 39th birthday. Hope your wish comes true, Stumpy. All is well on a delightful Friday in June.
