Tonight while I was out riding around looking for something to eat, I was riding on I-10 and I noticed this elderly lady driving by herself headed towards Florida. I noticed that she was weaving all over her lane and at one point she nearly side swiped a truck to her right, they blew the horn and she eased over to the other lane so I decided to pull her over to check on her. I got her stopped and she told me that she was trying to make it to Pensacola, so I asked where was she coming from and she stated she was coming San Antonio. She told me that she was OK and that she could make to P'cola so I advised her that she wasn't gonna make driving like that so I asked when was the last time she ate anything and sge told me around lunch time so I escorted her to Waffle House on DIP. I sat outside in the car until she finished eating. She walked out and tried to offer me some money, but I told her I couldn't accept that because it's apart of my job to protect and serve so she asked me would I accept a hug and I told her I would do that. The Moral of the story it we just look out for each other this would be a Better Country. I guess I don't have to work for a Major Police Department to be able to help someone in need...I Still Love This Job!!! https://t.co/JR9FzsqqIH
“It is an interesting approach taken by the Heat since Josh Richardson signed back at the July start of free agency. There still is no number alongside Josh’s listing on the official Heat roster at https://t.co/kcl44SFeMG.”

They kept us safe during the pandemic.
They sacrificed so much for our community.
They are our doctors, nurses, police, paramedics, firefighters, and frontline workers.
They are our Hometown Heroes — and today, it was an absolute joy to celebrate each and every one of them!
It’s my birthday — and I couldn’t be more grateful to be your Mayor!
The best gift I could ask for is to learn more about you and your dreams for how we can make our community better, so I hope you’ll share below.
As I’ve always said, together, we will win the future!
I’m profoundly saddened to learn that Jason Jenkins has died far too young.
He was a kind and dedicated leader, committed to creating opportunity for young people in Miami-Dade. My heart goes out to his Dolphins family, as well as his wife and three beautiful girls.
This week, I was proud to welcome @OHELFamily to Miami-Dade for the launch of Brecher Family South Florida Trauma Services. With this center, OHEL brings decades of trauma and crisis expertise right into our community.

As #OurCounty’s residents return to work and school, it’s a good practice to increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. In your classrooms, job sites or offices, it’s important to do your part to help #StopTheSpread of #COVID19 and other viruses and germs.
#OurCounty commemorates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution & #WomensEqualityDay. To celebrate, local buildings such as Stephen P. Clark Center, @FrostScience, & Freedom Tower will be illuminated in purple, yellow, & white. @MiamiDadeWomen@AdvocacyMDC
Miami-Dade is committed to saving marine life in our beautiful bay. We're using aerators to cool down hot spots likely caused by a spike in water temperatures due to a heatwave. County staff scientists are collaborating with State agencies in evaluating samples from the bay.
ICYMI: Yesterday, we broke ground for Three Round Towers/Brisas del Este in @MiamiDadeCounty. This project adds to another layer of affordable, workforce and mixed-income housing to the much needed housing stock of #OurCounty.
