Good morning, Hudson. It's 90 and partly cloudy today, and the rain chances stay away until Friday before building through the weekend.

The Sheriff's Office used this week's Tip Tuesday on a scam worth knowing about: someone assumes a property owner's identity and then sells or borrows against a house they do not own. It catches owners, buyers and real estate agents alike. Elsewhere in the county, Pasco is hiring the people who answer 911, the library system wants to hear what you want from it, and Fivay High has homecoming tickets on sale through September 29.

Today: the Agape food pantry at First Baptist Church of Hudson is open from 9 to 1, Ezee Dogs is at the West Pasco Government Center from 10:30, and Bayport Inn has all-you-can-eat shrimp through Thursday. Ginger Rose plays Sam's Hudson Beach Bar on Friday night.
