Everyone loves the beach, especially the little ones. They have a great time enjoying our pristine beaches, and summer isn’t over yet. There is still time to enjoy a day, or a long weekend, at the beach. Check out our lodging partners for weekly specials and rates. Now is the best time to enjoy the beach, before school starts back.

| Bay Scallop Season |
| August 22–September 5, 2016 |
| Grab your snorkel, mask, fins and a mesh bag and go scalloping! Take the family and have fun snorkeling around and looking for the blue “eyes” around the outer edge of the scallop’s shell. When you spot one, it’s really exciting! Just reach down and scoop it up. You can scallop for fun and return your catch to repopulate the area or keep your catch for a delicious dinner. The 2016 Scallop Season for St. Joseph Bay will be delayed and shortened to open August 22 and end September 5. Please note that scallop season for areas outside of Gulf County/St. Joseph Bay will be open from June 25 through September 24.
Recreational scalloping will allow 40 scallops per person and 200 total per vessel. |

I changed my password everywhere to “incorrect.” That way when I forget it, it always reminds me with “Your password is incorrect.”
The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim.
Keyboard missing? Press F3 to continue.
I was asked to have a password of eight characters, so I chose “Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.”
If your password is your name, you deserve to be hacked.

I often fall asleep in front of my computer, and it accompanies me in sleep mode.
There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidations and naming things.
History always tells a story, so make sure you clear it before your dad uses the PC!
If you think patience is a virtue, try surfing the net without high-speed Internet.
