The "Trickle-down Theory" is a myth. The top 1% in Indian River County earn an average of over $2.9 million, and the bottom 99% earn an average of $43,373, representing a top to bottom ratio of 67.2 according to the Florida Department of Health. According to the 2024 ALICE Report, which is produced by United Way, 44% of households struggle to pay for basic needs. This same report shows that the percentage of the population living in poverty has increased from 10% to 12% over the last decade. Florida ranks 49th out of 50 states for worst income inequality in the United States. Wealth with a lack of social responsibility? The "Free" state of Florida.

A partial lunar eclipse occurred this evening and was made more interesting because it happened to occur during not just a full moon but a super moon. Super moons happen when the moon is just a little closer in its orbit around the earth. As the Moon transitioned through the Earth's shadow, it offered a unique opportunity for photography and appreciation of the wonders of our universe. This image was taken from Vero Beach, Florida.

This image is composed of a stack of 6 photos of two fossil brachiopods which are approximately 450 million years old. These fossils were found in Northern Kentucky limestone deposits. The smaller one is only 2mm wide and the other is a whopping half a centimeter. A much larger decorative shell was used for a background for them to lay on. HMM everyone!
