Bed bugs are buzzing back with a vengeance—Philadelphia jumped to 22, Pittsburgh climbed to 9, while Baltimore slid down. Even though Delaware’s not on the list, travelers everywhere should stay alert. These pests ignore cleanliness and zip codes, thriving in high-traffic spots like hotels and dorms. Chicago leads the pack, but with smart habits—like inspecting rooms and tossing clothes in the dryer—you can dodge the hitchhikers. Stay vigilant, even if you’re not in the top 50.

A new study reveals which commutes are turning drivers into burnout zombies—surveying 3,000 people, it found that long, congested, and unpredictable trips are mentally draining before you even clock in. Delaware’s Middletown commute ranks 125 nationally, with drivers sacrificing rest for early morning road trips—made worse by weather. Smyrna to Dover (144) and Hockessin to Wilmington (148) follow, plagued by rush hour and construction. Nationally, Palmdale to LA tops the list, with NYC, SF, and Miami also in the stress zone. Meanwhile, a new $2M warehouse near Middletown could worsen traffic in an already overwhelmed area. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Red Clay’s new interim superintendent, Hugh Broomall — a 20-year veteran who’s served as principal and held multiple leadership roles — takes the helm July 17th, stepping in after surprise departure of outgoing superintendent Dorrell Green, who’s moving to Pennsylvania. Broomall now faces the urgent challenge of guiding the district through potential consolidation with three other northern Delaware schools, a plan proposed last year. Despite the upheaval, the board is confident in his deep institutional knowledge and experience navigating crises like the pandemic. Change, Green noted, sometimes demands disruption — and Broomall’s mission is to lead with stability as Red Clay reshapes its future.

Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Qatar’s visionary emir who transformed the nation into a global powerhouse, has died at 74. In 18 years of rule, he launched Al Jazeera, acquired iconic assets like Harrod’s, and hosted the 2022 World Cup — all while navigating fierce regional tensions and controversy.

Wilmington’s City Council just passed a landmark ordinance to halt water shutoffs for elderly, disabled, and families with young children — even though no shutoffs are currently happening due to a billing system glitch. After five years of advocacy by Councilmember Shané Darby, the bill narrowly won with a 7-5 vote, despite concerns it could raise rates or be ineffective. Now, it’s up to Mayor John Carney to decide if this vital safety net becomes law. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
