Today's riddle: What has 2 arms and a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Highly rated Boston Children's Hospital considers expansion into West Palm Beach, report says (wusf.org) — West Palm Beach may land a major new children's hospital, as Boston Children's is exploring downtown sites with backing from Palm Beach-area philanthropists. The project, still undecided, would compete with Palm Beach Children's Hospital and expand nonprofit pediatric care options as the county's population and incomes grow, potentially reshaping how local families access specialized treatment.
2. Flood Advisory for Palm Beach County until 11 p.m. (cbs12.com) — A flood advisory is in effect until 11 p.m. tonight for southeastern Palm Beach County, with 1 to 2 more inches of rain expected. Minor flooding is already occurring or likely in low-lying and poor-drainage areas, especially around Boca Raton and nearby communities, so avoid flooded roads and use extra caution if you're out this evening.
3. Fact Check: 'Palm Beach Pete' Does NOT Have A Girlfriend Called 'Lishgaine' -- She Is A Digital Creation (leadstories.com) — A viral claim about a Palm Beach man nicknamed "Palm Beach Pete" having a girlfriend called "Lishgaine" is being debunked, with fact-checkers confirming she's an AI-generated character. The report notes that images circulating on TikTok and Instagram are artificial and that no credible news sources support the rumor, which plays off references to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
4. Miss Hawaii Carly Yoshida Discusses Career, Advocacy, and Miss America Experience (hollywoodtimes.net) — Palm Beach is hosting this week's Miss America pageant, where Miss Hawaii Carly Yoshida is competing while promoting her emergency and disaster preparedness initiative, "Weather the Future." Yoshida, a Honolulu TV weather personality, explains how pageantry built her confidence, advanced her broadcast career, and deepened her commitment to serving communities through public-safety advocacy and storytelling.
