Sunny mornings send you. In Boston, a City Councilor
is raising concerns about the safety risks posed
by food delivery scooters, leading to a potential
ban on these vehicles. City Councilor Ed Flynn's
proposal comes after a fatal collision in August
near Copley Square, highlighting the need for
better pedestrian safety measures. Flynn stated,
pedestrians are in the crosswalk, and they're
afraid to cross the street because of a reckless
scooter driving 30 miles an hour right through
a red light. He filed an amended ordinance to
ban mopeds and e -bikes from third -party food
delivery, emphasizing the need for a collaborative
approach to improve safety. Fellow counselors
expressed concern over the economic impact on
delivery workers. as the proposal awaits commit
review and a potential council vote. Now onto
sports. In Miami Gardens, Florida, Dolphins wide
receiver Tyree Kill will not need another surgery
after undergoing a major procedure to repair
his dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments,
including his anterior cruciate ligament. His
agent said, Hill's surgery went very well according
to his doctors. He added, it's about rehabilitation
and he will play next season with a realistic
goal set for the start of the season. Hill suffered
the injury during the team's 27 -21 victory over
the New York Jets and was taken to a local hospital
for further evaluation. Coach Mike McDaniel stated
he has heard good things about any potential
nerve damage to Hill's knee. The Dolphins will
need to replicate Hill's production as they look
to rebound from a 1 -3 start to the season in
local sports. Last night in New York, the Red
Sox won over the Yankees 3 -1. Garrett Crochet
earned the win pitching 7 -2 innings, allowing

between 65 and 67 degrees. Many adults find it
challenging to sleep comfortably with 57 % reporting

Let's talk science. Are mosquitoes attracted
to beer drinkers? Scientists conducted research
at a music festival to find out. Their study
examined how beer, sunscreen, diet and other
factors correlate with mosquito attraction. Findings
suggest that certain behaviors, such as drinking
beer and avoiding sunscreen, may increase susceptibility
to bites. While not yet peer -reviewed, this
is the largest study to investigate the impact
of hygiene and intoxication on mosquito preferences.
Understanding mosquito attraction is crucial
as they spread deadly diseases like malaria and
dengue. Researchers found that participants who
drank alcohol or did not use sunscreen were more
likely to attract mosquitoes. Avoiding beer or
certain social habits may not reliably prevent
bites, so protective measures remain essential.
In the new crime comedy, Bad Man, John William
Scott takes center stage as Special Agent Bobby
Gaines, who arrives in the tiny town of Colt
Lake, Tennessee, to handle a murder case. The
film, which surprisingly blends humor with crime,
features a local cop, Sam Evans and his deputy,
who struggle to keep up with Gaines' unorthodox
methods. The screenplay, while predictable toward
the end, showcases quirky characters and sharp
dialogue that add flavor. Directed by Michael
DiLiberti, Batman will be available on digital
platforms starting September 22nd. Well, alrighty
folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American conservationist
and author, John Muir. And he said, in every
walk with nature, one receives far more than
he seeks. And that's a wrap for this morning.
