Good morning, Hudson. It's 91 and mostly sunny to start, with storms rolling in this afternoon, and Sunday and Monday both look wetter, so get the outdoor plans in early.

Pasco County has raised the income limit on its Better Future housing program, so if you were turned down before, it's worth another look. The county also wants residents to leave fire hydrants alone, since only firefighters and authorized staff should be opening them. And Pasco's mosquito control helicopters are flying larvicide runs over Tampa as Florida's locally acquired dengue count reaches 111, two of those cases here in Pasco.

For today: Big Worley's BBQ is at Tractor Supply on 52 this morning and at Craft Life this afternoon, the Diva Angels pasta benefit for veterans and rescue dogs runs from noon, and Rooster plays Alice in Chains at Sims Park tonight. Sunday brings a toy and collectibles show at the Spring Hill VFW.

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
