Indian Rocks Beach officially banned smoking and vaping on its public beaches on Sept. 8, with the ordinance taking effect immediately upon approval. Local cleanup groups say cigarette butts are one of the biggest things they keep pulling out of the sand.

Apparently paradise has one simple request: Keep your butts attached.

Beachgoers reported a man cutting up sharks and leaving or dumping remains around Redington Beach. FWC reviewed photos and says its initial findings show no violations involving the species caught. Officials had not confirmed whether the man had the required fishing license or permit.

So that answers which sharks could be kept. Not every question about what happened afterward.

Most people go to the beach to avoid paperwork. Somehow, we’re all reading fishing regulations now.

An Alabama man allegedly decided a St. Pete park pavilion was the perfect place to film OnlyFans content.

Deputies disagreed.

According to the arrest affidavit, a witness reported seeing him exposing and touching himself in public. He later allegedly told deputies he was filming content for OnlyFans. So the shoot did get attention.

Just mostly from law enforcement. Florida remains committed to producing content nobody asked for.

Junior Caminero sent one 455 feet into the Atlanta bleachers Tuesday night for his 39th homer of the season, moving him into sole possession of the American League home run lead at the end of the night.

He wasn’t alone. Hicks, Díaz, and Palacios also went deep as Tampa Bay hit four homers in a 7-1 win over Atlanta.

The win improved the Rays to 86-58, putting them atop the AL East and giving them the best record in the American League after Tuesday’s games.

Caminero just turned 23. Thirty-nine homers. The Burg might have an MVP on its hands by November.

Back in the late ’80s and ’90s, bikini-clad hot dog vendors were a legitimate roadside fixture around Tampa Bay. Women worked carts along busy roads, selling hot dogs using what can only be described as an extremely Florida marketing plan.

St. Pete, Pinellas Park and Largo all got in on it.

No app. No delivery fee. No QR code.

Just a hot dog cart, a bikini and apparently enough distracted drivers to become local folklore.

Remember seeing them around town?

Turns out the giant metal lizard watching traffic off I-275 has a name: Security Lizard. Local artist Paul Eppling built the 30-foot creature from recycled car parts in 1995. Nearly 31 years later, it’s still on duty. No reported alien invasions yet.

THANKS FOR BEING PART OF THE VIBES!

That’s all we’ve got this week.

Go catch a game, walk some art, and remember: Indian Rocks Beach does not want your butts.

Cigarette butts, specifically. Keep the other ones attached.

And maybe keep the OnlyFans shoots out of public parks while you’re at it.

See y’all next week!
