Sort of a wonky news weekend, folks, so let's just hit the highlights, shall we?

FRIDAY, SEPT. 18:

Not local, but noteworthy: A Montana man pleaded guilty to shooting a bartender because the bartender made his bloody beer with Clamato rather than straight-up tomato juice. Which is perfectly understandable, but the guy also killed the bartender's dog, which, NO, I don't care how many briny bits of bivalve he imbibed...

SATURDAY, SEPT. 19:

The Rays lost to the Orioles 2-1. Some are blaming an odd 8th-inning interference call on Evan Longoria, others have simply accepted the unarguable fact that the Rays are not baseballing to the best of their collective ability this season.

SUNDAY, SEPT. 20

I guess the Emmys happened last night, and are still a thing? Hooty-hoo, did Bones win anything? I'm old.

And finally, 2014 saw the largest decrease in requests for concealed-weapons permits in Florida in 15 years — petitions were down 33%. It's official — everybody in the state but you is now carrying. Enjoy!
