There are just two days left of the year of 2023 and it sure will end on a cold and chilly note following a cold front that crossed through Friday morning.Behind that front are temperatures that are well below average with highs both Saturday and Sunday only in the upper 60s to around 70F while morning lows drop into the 50s across most of mainland South Florida.Unfortunately, clouds will remain a dominant feature of our Saturday with only some breaks of blue appearing during the mid to late afternoon hours. This will aid in Saturday likely being the coldest of the week, and the light breeze may make it feel even cooler outside!Then the cold should peak Sunday morning with lows in the 50s across mainland South Florida and the upper Florida Keys and perhaps even a few inland locations briefly hit the upper 40s for the final morning of 2023.Thankfully for Sunday, skies will be completely clear with abundant sunshine as high pressure parks itself right over Florida for a couple days.

The operation is expected to continue throughout the weekend.Tragedy hit one family in Ladysmith set to bury seven of its members who were killed when floods swept their vehicle into the river.

Dear Amy: Every year, with the help of my husband and six children, I throw myself a birthday party at a local roller rink.It’s all I want: to party and rollerblade with my family and friends like I’m still young.We rent out the entire venue and invite many families. We serve a handful of refreshments and play fun music. It’s a blast and I usually look forward to it every year, except this year.I’m dreading it because one family (neighbors of ours) are just terrible guests. They bring extra people without asking, their four kids come blazing down the middle of the rink and have actually knocked people down before, and last year they took the water bottles from the refreshment table and were throwing them down the stairs to the front entrance, where they would burst open.The parents never do anything about it and never offer to help clean up the mess their kids leave.The problem is, they know I have this party every year.How do I avoid inviting them when I kno...Jarvis: What got lost in a year of hype about obesity drugs
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 15:54:06 GMT
This year, the incredible potential of obesity medicines like Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound started to come into view. The drugs work so well for so many that it’s starting to look like they could change the literal and metaphorical shape of society — starting with our waistlines and extending to our overall health and our habits around food and alcohol.And yet the way we talk about these drugs remains stuck in frustrating binaries. The drugs are either a panacea or an overpriced Band-Aid; they will either solve one of the biggest problems in health care or burden the system with hundreds of billions of dollars in unjustified cost. The extremes keep us from honestly addressing some fundamental questions about these drugs. Most pressingly: What role should they play in addressing a sicker, fatter society?There are many obstacles to starting to address that necessary question. One is the still-widespread attitude that the drugs make weight loss too e...New hybrid work schedule means a move back to Bay Area

Question: About your October 21, 2023, column titled “Parents step back on selling now in the Bay Area; is that a smart move?” on The Mercury News and East Bay Times websites: During the pandemic, we swapped the bustling Bay Area for a serene resort town and embraced remote work. It was a dream come true — until last week. We must soon follow our Bay Area employer’s three-day, in-office mandate in a housing catch-22. Selling our mountain home will be challenging, as will navigating the ridiculous Bay Area market. Our dilemma boils down to two questions: Bay Area homes for sale: With interest rates expected to fall, will 2024 finally bring the housing inventory increase everyone’s been predicting? Or will it remain a seller’s paradise, leaving homebuyers like us in multiple bidding wars? Resort market ripple effect? Will resort towns like ours follow suit if the Bay Area housing inventory increases? Or will these havens retain their pandemic-fueled appeal, keeping housing inventory ...1-2-3 … Walk (down the aisle)! Couples race to get married in Las Vegas this numerical New Year’s Eve
