In today’s happening-today edition: Bird flu confirmed, estate auction with a baby grand, lobster food truck, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Ohio drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

đź“° In the news
Traffic surge prompts redesign: ODOT closed access to State Route 15 from Township Road 190 for safety. Barrels and barricades were set March 2 following completion of the County Road 193 overpass — see what’s planned next.
State guidance and wildlife impacts: Findlay officials say bird flu was confirmed in dead birds, with no risk to water and no action needed, though pet precautions are advised and outdoor activities can continue — get all the details.
Guiding county behavioral health services: Jennifer Swartzlander was appointed interim director of Hancock County’s ADAMHS Board. Precia Stuby retired March 6 after nearly 30 years, and applications were accepted through February 27 — see responsibilities and next steps.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

đź’Ž Local business spotlight
Fries, but make ’em fancy: Herb-butter tossed fries with chipotle mayo at Findlay Brewing Co.are dangerously snackable. The “Messy” version, smothered in queso, bacon bits, and green onion, amps things up… a crispy, creamy, smoky pile that pairs happily with a pint and makes weekday cravings feel downright celebratory.
Glow-up on standby: Krome Aesthetics pairs friendly, no-pressure consults with legit skin solutions… neurotoxin, filler, laser hair removal, microneedling, and custom facials, so you can look refreshed without the drama. Expect thoughtful advice, natural-looking results, and a calm vibe that makes great skin feel easy.
Fresh-air fairway fix: Solo spin or crew day, Riverbend Disc Golf Trail runs 18 holes through forest and fields by the Blanchard River, turning a walk into play. Pack your own discs, breathe easier, and let weekday stress clatter off the chains.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
