Good morning, Hudson. It's National Great American Pot Pie Day, which is an ambitious thing to celebrate at 89 degrees, but hold that thought. Friday through Sunday come in at 86, 85 and 85, with lows in the upper 60s. Pot pie weather is closer than it has been all year.

The watering rules you have been living with are staying. The Southwest Florida Water Management District extended its shortage order through March 31, 2027, and the version in force was set to end October 1, so Pasco remains on one watering day a week. Separately, the county is warning about people asking for money to get someone released from custody. Corrections, the Sheriff's Office and inmate attorneys will never do that.

The Agape pantry on Fivay Road is open today from 9 to 1. Yummy Thai pulls into Craft Life Brewing at 5, and Friday brings Southbound 75 back to Circle S BBQ at 7, five dollars at the door. Here's your Wednesday.

The once-a-week watering rule now runs through March
Bay News 9 (Pasco)
The Southwest Florida Water Management District extended its water shortage order through March 31, 2027, covering Pasco and seven other counties. The current order had been due to end October 1, so Pasco stays on one watering day a week, and the county's rainfall deficit sits above 15 inches.

The next Apple may already exist. Insider sources say Elon has spent two years building a secret device inside Tesla's facilities — one he claims will be "10x bigger than the largest product in history."

There's just one problem: the company is private, and unless you know Elon personally, you can't buy a single share. That was true until Guardian's research team found three public ticker symbols sitting in the launch supply chain.

Click here to see all 3 tickers, free of charge.

You won't hear these names on CNBC — Wall Street hasn't published a word on the connection. But when the launch hits September 21, that quiet ends.

Some are already calling this the biggest opportunity since AI. For anyone who missed Apple before the iPhone, this may be a second look at that kind of setup.

Get the 3 ticker symbols here.
