Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Florida communities remember Sept. 11, 2001 (tcpalm.com) — Port St. Lucie residents joined a solemn Sept. 11 remembrance at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Event Center and a Freedom Festival & Memorial Ruck at IRSC's Pruitt Campus, honoring victims and first responders. Similar ceremonies across the Treasure Coast, including Fort Pierce and Palm City, featured wreath layings, memorial walks, music, and candlelight vigils marking the attacks' 25th anniversary.
2. Governor appoints 10 to the bench (einpresswire.com) — Port St. Lucie's own Judge Jeffrey Hendriks has been elevated to the 19th Judicial Circuit Court, filling a vacancy created by Judge William Roby's retirement. The governor also appointed nine other judges around Florida, but this promotion directly affects how higher-level cases from St. Lucie County and the surrounding region will be heard.
3. Gas prices soar by double digits in Florida to more than $4. Check your area (miamiherald.com) — Port St. Lucie drivers are now paying about $4.14 per gallon, as Florida gas prices jump more than 20 cents in a week amid global tensions.

4. Brendan Valdes returns from cancer fight with better understanding of why he competes (golfchannel.com) — Professional golfer Brendan Valdes, recently declared cancer-free after months of treatment, is preparing to marry fiancée Rachel Gourley in Port St. Lucie on Nov. 29 as they settle into a new South Florida home.
