As the son of a proud @USMC - my dad, who served during the Korean War and is no longer with us - I wish the Corps all the best on its 251 Birthday! Semper Fi!

Great to be part of an organization that understands what it means to be part of a community!
Our neighbors are at the heart of what we do. 💙 Our commitment to safety starts with reliable natural gas service and extends to helping local families stay safe at home. We’re grateful to put that commitment into action by donating 100 smoke detectors through our partnership with the City of Clermont and the Clermont Fire Department. Thank you to our Clermont firefighters for getting these detectors into residents’ homes and for protecting our community every day.

RIP - and thank you for all you did for our community!
It is with heavy hearts that the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District mourns the passing of Susan “Sue” Crabtree, beloved wife of District Board President Fred Crabtree and a cherished member of the LANGD family. Ms. Sue’s kindness, compassion and unwavering dedication to her family and the West Orange County community touched countless lives and left a legacy that will endure for generations. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Fred, the entire Crabtree family and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving Sue. She will be deeply missed, but her remarkable spirit of generosity and service will never be forgotten.

Congratulations to Florida Atlantic alumnus Pat Murphy ’82 on leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a World Series title!  His tomorrow began at Florida Atlantic, and we are immensely proud of his accomplishments on baseball’s biggest stage. 🦉 ⚾️

Dear streaming services, I get it. Paying for a subscription isn’t enough anymore, and now we have to sit through commercials. Still not cool, but we get it. You’re greedy. But can you at least stop showing the same three ads over and over?! I’m genuinely starting to hate companies I’ve never bought anything from because you keep waterboarding me with their ads every five minutes.

@SMILEConference - When you have a TON of PIO peeps in town for a conference, you stop by (i.e. crash it) to say hello. Some of the BEST IN THE BIZ right here! @flepioa @MobileJIC1 @frankguzmanftl @FLFR411 @DeerfieldBeach_

The last time the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series, their bat boy was a kid named Bill Zito, who now has two Stanley Cup rings as Florida Panthers GM.

Had some really, really great bosses over the years...and some that were, um, not so great. The bad ones help us truly appreciate the good ones Hopefully I've been the type of boss my colleagues liked working with -

Having options is NEVER a bad thing! For many, moving to Florida means leaving their love of cooking with gas behind. Well, not so fast - that is all changing for the better!
More Energy Choice for Howey-in-the-Hills! 🔥 The Town's adopted an ordinance supporting natural gas infrastructure in new developments, helping preserve energy options for their residents!

A lesson in trolling... with facts
We've won more games in Philly in the last nine days than the Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies combined this month.

@dak - bro, you really do this...?
From @TheAthletic: Dak Prescott heard a stadium worker calling the Cowboys losing to the previously winless Buccaneers "embarrassing." Prescott then pointed the person out to a Cowboys employee and said, “Tough guy, get his ass out of here.” nyti.ms/3WhcHfv
