Wayne Huizenga is nobody's favorite businessman around these parts, but he gives his wife plenty of money to spend, and she puts it to good use. The $6,000,000 facility she built for the Humane Society is Club Fed to the County Animal Control's Sing Sing. For each hurricane, the Broward Humane Society has gone and collected animals from various shelters and brought them here for adoption. The Herald has a nice article on the canine refugees and the BHS website has a good write-up with pics about their latest journey; this one to Vero Beach.
Jennifer Acheson takes a dog from a Vero Beach shelter into the Humane Society of Broward building, where he will be available for adoption.
Also- an article that focuses on the positives that Floridians are experiencing from living without electricity. Really.
As someone who lived a long time without electricity, I'm trying to figure out how come glow sticks aren't all the rage right now. I loved the things- a cool cracking sound then a beautiful phial of long-lasting light.
I wish I had room for another. Bless Mama Huizenga!

Yeah, Marti could have blown all that dough on shoes like an airhead. Bless her for having a heart.
