(NEXSTAR) – When dining out or grabbing a coffee in Paris, you’re unlikely to see iPads with pre-loaded tipping suggestions. Your receipt won’t have a line where you can write in a tip either. Tipping culture and expectations in France are completely different than here in the U.S., and it’s leaving some Americans in town for the Olympics unsure what to do.

Tequila is one of those drinks that evokes instant memories and associations. It might be the good times of partying, dancing and celebrating, or the slightly less appealing times of having one too many shots on a night out. The truth is, tequila is an incredible spirit that has been around for centuries and has become a cornerstone for some of the world’s most famous cocktails. It’s also a spirit that is highly misunderstood. Very few are aware of the sipping ritual of this agave nectar, yet, when they try it, they notice a whole other side and a new-found appreciation for...

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.

In this week’s installment of Homeless Hotel Diary, broken glass again leads the lineup. Someone smashed a window in the lobby of Fusion Studios, the Colorado Coalition for the homeless property where I live and pay a third of my income for rent. This same person shattered the door to the case manager’s office and threw rocks through the windshield and side windows of the community van. Multiple residents told me who did the damage – the same person allegedly committed all three crimes – and last I knew that person still was at large. I could not get any official reports from Coalition staff. They were not available to speak with me Friday.

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. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
