There’s a quote from a poem attributed to Brian A. “Drew” Chalker that states “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime” — which is to say that some friendships aren’t meant to last forever, while others may have what it takes to be a lifelong bond. Either way, there’s almost always a lot of value in forming a bond with someone else, and for some zodiac signs, staying friends with people for the long haul comes naturally.

Unless it girls sat in the front row, basketball games were historically hardly the venue to find style inspiration. Thankfully, that no longer holds true. The current roster of WNBA athletes practically turned their tunnel walk into a catwalk — the riveting fashion moment just as headline-making as the game itself.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically.
