Free Used Tire and Bromeliad Plants Disposal Day at East Flagler Mosquito District: The East Flagler Mosquito Control District will be accepting waste tires and bromeliad plants for disposal at our District Headquarters (210 Fin WAY, Palm Coast) on Sunday May 22 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

There is a limit of 8 tires per person and 20 tires per household with no limit on bromeliad plants. See details here.
Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.
“The Odd Couple: Female version,” at the Daytona Playhouse, 2 p.m. Daytona Playhouse, 100 Jessamine Blvd., Daytona Beach. Neil Simon’s revised hit show transforms the lead characters to messy Olive Madison and fastidious Florence Unger. Their girlfriends come by to enjoy their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s sloppy apartment and things get messy. Book tickets here.
Now this: Here’s Jules Massenet’s “Meditation from Thais,” performed at this week’s Flagler Youth Orchestra Chamber Music Camp Concert, with Luka Tristam, violin, and Corey Lehnertz, cello. The first video is at the concert on Tuesday, the second is in rehearsal. (For diehard fans, the Brown Dog version is here.)

In all three cases–the balance of transport, deepwater navigation, and industrialization—the United States enjoys the physical geography most favorable to their application. Two facts stand out. First, since the root of American power is geographic and not the result of any particular plan or ideology, American power is incidental. Even accidental. Second, the United States wasn’t the point of origin for any of the respective technologies that created the modern world.
–From Peter Zeihan’s The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder (2014).
