DIANE'S CORNER ..
Time to celebrate the beautiful sunshine state. From the Everglades to Miami, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Florida. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, grab your sunscreen and let’s celebrate this special day!
History of National Florida Day
Florida has a long and diverse history. The land now known as Florida has been inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous peoples, including the Seminole, Timucua, and Calusa tribes. In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León became the first known European to set foot in Florida. Spain claimed the land as a colony, and later ceded it to the United States in 1821 as part of the Adams-Onis Treaty.
Today, Florida is a popular destination for vacationers and retirees, and is known for its beaches, theme parks, and warm weather. Additionally, Florida is an economic powerhouse, with a strong focus on industries such as tourism, agriculture, and aerospace. Additionally, its urban centers, like Miami, and cities like Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville have become a mix of cultures with vibrant food and entertainment scenes.

(Not So) TOTALLY USELESS FACTS OF THE DAY
People often pace while talking on the phone because they don't have visual feedback. The brain makes up for what's missing by translating emotional responses into involuntary physical movements.
Humans evolved uniquely large butts because its placement and size help us balance and walk upright.
Taekwondo is a popular Korean style of martial arts. But what does the word mean and how does it translate to English? Taekwondo is combining three words. Broken down, 'Tae' means foot, leg, or to step on. 'Kwon' means fist or fight. 'Do' translates to discipline or the way of. A loose translation is that Taekwondo means 'the way of the hand and the foot.'
