Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 11/23/14

What southern Florida is talking about this week:

Good news for once!

Proving that it is possible, if you search long enough, and get through all of the hating and fighting and bickering and war mongering and racism and sexism and fill-in-the-blank-ism, you CAN locate life changing scientific advancements in the newspaper (or on the interwebs, for you young'uns) that will have a positive effect on your future.

To whit, at the end of the summer, the American Chemical Society declared that it is OK to pee in the ocean.  Where I live here in sunny Florida, the beach season is just starting to get into full swing, so it is a timely reminder for the weeks and months ahead.  Hence, someone recently wrote into the local Sunday paper as a letter to the editor to highlight this scientific find as a way to offer absolution and dispensation for the "but I gots to go now" phenomenon.

[Note:  pee in the ocean ... not in the pool, as the links below will show.]
