October is here, and that can only mean one thing—pumpkin spice everything. Well, okay, maybe it also means fall leaves, football weekends, and cooler weather. But October is also about awareness—specifically Breast Cancer Awareness. That’s right, the month of pink has arrived, and it’s one of the few times of the year when you can wear hot pink socks with pride, and nobody bats an eye.

The Williston Police Department is joining in on the cause too, and they’re looking sharp doing it. All month long, you’ll notice officers swapping out their usual badges for pink ones. The message is clear: they stand united in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

So this October, look for those pink badges, cheer for football, sip your pumpkin latte, and don’t forget to wear pink. After all, awareness never goes out of style.

Did Anyone Watch These TV Shows in the 1980s and 1990s?

While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
