Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Believe It or Not: Fables and Truths of Boynton Beach (bocaratontribune.com) — Boynton Beach residents are invited to a free historical program on October 12 at First Presbyterian Church of Boynton Beach, where the Boynton Beach Historical Society will unpack local fables and true stories about the city. The evening includes a brief meet-and-greet, a lighthearted look at quirky town legends, and an accessible way to connect with neighbors and local history.
• COPS: Delray Woman Asleep At Wheel Blew Triple Legal Limit (bocanewsnow.com) — A Boynton Beach police officer found a Delray Beach woman asleep in a running car at the Chili's on North Congress Avenue, where she reportedly blew more than three times Florida's legal alcohol limit. The early-morning incident led to a DUI charge, and she's due in court later this month, with authorities reminding residents that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
• Oracle Co-Founder Larry Ellison Bought Eight Florida Homes for Staff, Report Says (vinnews.com) — Several homes in Boynton Beach's Palm Meadows Estates were quietly bought in 2023 by an LLC tied to Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, reportedly to house staff and tutors connected to his nearby Manalapan estate. Neighbors say the properties are well maintained but some worry about one buyer controlling multiple homes, prompting a new HOA rule to prevent similar bulk purchases.
