Good morning, Hudson. Fall officially starts today, which in Florida means 89 degrees and a storm or two through tomorrow. Give it until Friday, though: the weekend comes in sunny and dry, with Saturday's low down at 69. That's about as close to autumn as we get.

Mark your budget. Pasco County Utilities raises water, wastewater and reclaimed water rates on October 1, and the county's own example says an average household using 6,000 gallons a month goes from $91.99 to $96.32. That is $4.33 a month, or about $52 a year.

The Agape pantry on Fivay Road runs tomorrow from 9 to 1, first come first served. Today there are four food trucks out, including tacos and wood fired pizza, and the Sheriff's Office would like everyone to stop for school buses and put the phone down. Here's your Tuesday.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
