Marco's Evening Report

Sunday, September 20, 2026
Tonight: OFF · back Mon 6 PM (night 1 of 7)

Last night off, Marco — and you're probably reading this from the sewing room, since the Babylock class runs 5 to 7. Tomorrow at 6 PM the seven-night block starts, so tomorrow is a sleep-shift day: nap before you go. One thing that won't wait: your fantasy WR slot locks at 8:20 tonight, and Nacua is sitting on your bench with the higher projection.

2 · Hackerspace

Slack checked on the garage Mac. Nothing new since last night — no mentions or DMs since Paula Sandusky's 3D-printing slide deck on Friday, #meetup-announce has been quiet since the 17th, and #welding since the 15th. Nothing is waiting on a reply from you.

Your classes

Worth a look

Welding: still nothing new on the board beyond the MIG class you're already in. That absence is now several weeks old. Registration is always at member.tampahackerspace.com — a Slack post is not a seat.

card & details
6days

Main event: Will Ospreay (AEW World Champion) vs Jon Moxley, 60-minute time limit, with the rest of the Death Riders allowed at ringside. Tag titles: Cope & Christian Cage (c) vs FTR vs The Young Bucks, three-way ladder match. Okada defends the International title against Tommaso Ciampa; Mercedes Moné is not medically cleared, so Thekla vs Willow Nightingale is for a WrestleDream shot instead.

You're on shift that night — night 6 of 7, and it's also your two-class Saturday. Replay on HBO Max.

Nothing else inside 14 days. Next up after All Out: WWE Money in the Bank, Sat 10/10, New Orleans — card TBA.

4 · RV

The maintenance log is still blank — no odometer, no generator hours, no "last done" dates — so there's nothing for me to compute against. Fifteen minutes with the log would turn this section on permanently. The header needs the odometer and generator-hour readings with today's date; after that every interval in the table starts tracking itself.

One loose end: the generator work you had planned for Tue 9/8 — carburetor, fuel injector, oil and filter — is still sitting under "Planned" with no entry in the log. If it got done, that's your first log line and it resets the generator-oil clock.

Storm prep: nothing required. Nothing is flagged in the Gulf or eastern Caribbean (see Section 9).

5 · Training

No training on the calendar this week.

6 · Fantasy Football

LordHaveMRSA · Daily Report

Week 2 vs Team chaseelson30: 34.02 – 65.08, behind. Sleeper has you at 20%, projecting 77.81 to 96.97. You have three starters left (K. Williams, Skattebo, Worthy); he has one.

Decision before 8:20 PM tonight. Puka Nacua is on your bench — questionable, Monday 8:15, projected 20.14. Xavier Worthy is in the WR slot and locks at 8:20 tonight at a 9.81 projection. If you want the swap, it has to happen before Worthy's kickoff; after that the slot is frozen and Nacua can't get in. You're off tonight, so this is the one you can actually watch inactives for.

D. Moore (BUF) shows as OUT but already played Thursday for −0.10 — that slot is spent, nothing to do there.

Waivers: next FAAB clear is Wed 9/23, 3:00 AM ET — you'll be mid-shift on night 3. Bids have to be in Tuesday evening before you leave. About $94 left, waiver priority 9. The standing hole is unchanged: still no backup QB behind Maye, whose bye is week 11.

7 · Medicine Desk

West Nile is running mild in volume and severe in kind

What happened. The CDC's mosquito-borne surveillance system has counted 504 West Nile cases across 41 states this year, and 363 of them — about seven in ten — are the form that reaches the brain or spinal cord, up from roughly six in ten at this point last year, even though the overall case count is running below 2025.

Why it matters to you. Fever plus confusion in an older Florida adult in late September is a West Nile admission until you rule it out, and Duval County reported a second locally acquired case this week — this is not just a California story.

Do this. On a septic-looking elderly admit with no obvious source and any neuro findings, ask the family about mosquito exposure and send West Nile serology with the initial meningitis workup rather than adding it on day three.

Source: Medical Daily, Sept 20, on CDC ArboNET data current through Sept 8.

That's the whole desk tonight. The window since last night's report was 22 hours over a weekend: no new FDA approvals, no new CMS rule, no new hospital-medicine guideline. Three items that surfaced in search were dropped as stale — see Section H.

8 · The Debate

Should Florida drop four vaccines from its school-entry requirements?

Why it's live. The Department of Health's proposed rule — signed by Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo — would remove hepatitis B, chickenpox, Hib and pneumococcal from the shots required to enter Florida schools and daycares, and would widen the religious exemption to cover "moral or ethical beliefs." The public comment window closed Sept 14; the rule now sits awaiting final approval. It lands in a week when the CDC's national measles count reached 3,471 cases through Sept 17 — already past last year's total, itself the highest since 1991 — and national kindergarten MMR coverage sits at 92.4%, down from 95.2% in 2019–20.

For removing them

Ladapo and Gov. Ron DeSantis argue the state should not condition a child's education on a medical procedure a parent objects to. The four vaccines stay available and recommended — the rule removes the requirement, not the shot. Their framing is "medical freedom": that a mandate is coercion regardless of how good the vaccine is, and that trust in public health is better rebuilt by persuading parents than by locking them out of school.

WUSF, Sept 1

Against removing them

The Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics filed a formal response opposing the rule, and the Florida Chapter of the American College of Physicians asked the department for a public hearing on Sept 9, arguing these four prevent diseases with real pediatric mortality and that requirements are precisely what hold coverage near the ~95% needed for community protection. New CDC Director Erica Schwartz, in her first interview on Sept 16, said of the measles shot:

"The MMR vaccine is safe and effective."

FCAAP response · Florida Phoenix, Sept 9

Where it lands. The four vaccines in this rule are the ones the department can move on its own; measles, polio, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus are written into statute, and only the Legislature can touch those — and House Speaker Daniel Perez already declined to take that up in the 2026 session. So the near-term question is narrower than the headlines suggest: not whether Florida abandons measles requirements, but whether an exemption-friendlier rule changes parent behavior on the shots that are no longer required — in a state where the hepatitis B birth dose has been routine for three decades. Nobody has data on that yet, which is exactly why both sides are arguing from principle.

9 · World & Screens

Cuba — Update: the national grid was reconnected Saturday evening, about 30 hours after Friday's collapse, the island's seventh total blackout of 2026. Reconnection is not recovery: generation this morning stood near 1,160 MW against a forecast evening peak of 3,200 MW, so most of the island still goes dark for long stretches tonight. (Al Jazeera)

Puerto Rico: nine years ago today Hurricane María came ashore near Yabucoa as a Category 4 and took the whole island's power with it. No significant new reporting out of the island in the last 24 hours. (UPI)

Tropics: nothing in the Gulf or the eastern Caribbean. The only Atlantic system is Tropical Depression Six, several hundred miles southwest of the Azores, and the Hurricane Center expects no new formation over the next seven days. No RV storm prep needed. (NHC)

Screens: nothing new worth queuing in this window. The standing pick still holds — Backrooms on HBO Max.
