When I go on vacation, I like to scour Yelp and other websites to find local businesses and attractions that are unique to the places I visit. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Often, though, we overlook the gems in our own city. And in this town, as small as it may be, we have quite a few unique businesses.

Ginger leaves a dust cloud of sand behind her as she bolts through the park. Her owner, Corey Landis, 55, sits on the bench at the Possum Creek dog park, milking the last few minutes of daylight so that the Vizsla-hound mix can get her exercise in.

Don’t kiss your family goodbye. Don’t sell your worldly possessions. Life on Earth will not be destroyed at 2:24 p.m. today when an asteroid whizzes past just 17,000 miles above the ground.

I’ve been dodging sneezes, lately, like Trinity dodged bullets in "The Matrix." Yes, I’m incredibly skilled, but I don’t look nearly as great in skin-tight leather. (If you haven’t seen "The Matrix," what the hell is wrong with you?)

First, let’s talk about what not to do for Valentine’s Day.

Sometimes I feel like Bigfoot — you know, Sasquatch — a white elephant, the Loch Ness Monster, maybe. I feel weird and out of place; that’s what I’m trying to say.

In the middle of studying for finals, we’re all fantasizing about what we’ll be doing over the winter break. Many of us do the same things year after year, but the college experience is about learning new skills, gaining knowledge, networking and, at the very least, creating some good stories to tell future grandchildren. Why not try something new this season?

I once overheard a girl say, “Do you know an apple can provide as much energy as a cup of coffee?” Now, I like apples just as much as the next temptress in the Garden of Eden, but when I heard that, I thought, “What kind of alternate universe is this chick living in?” I suppose if one had never had coffee before, maybe it’s a possibility. But for those of us who’ve been using, ahem, I meant drinking the stuff for over a decade, I can assure you, an apple will not suffice! Judging by the number of coffee shops in this compact city, it seems safe to assume that most people in this town are like me.

Put down the carbonated, sugary energy drink and step away from it. Actually, no, don’t step away; please recycle the can. (We’re Gators — we care.)

The brief dip in temperatures last week subtly hinted that it’s almost fall: time to enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, the warm sun perfectly balancing the cool air and maybe even a bonfire. Am I sounding too much like Julie Andrews singing “My Favorite Things” in “The Sound of Music”? I swear, some part of my soul, unable to live in the suffocating heat, hibernates in the summer and is brought back to life when cooler weather arrives — maybe it’s because I was born in Scotland and spent a significant portion of my childhood there, maybe it’s because I was born in the fall-like month, or maybe I’m especially fond of fall now because the memory of holding my not-so-little daughter (8 pounds and 13 ounces) for the first time almost exactly two years ago is still fresh in my memory. Whatever the reason, I love fall.

I don’t know much about the religious or spiritual practices of the Hare Krishnas, but I attend Krishna Lunch religiously.

How am I only a junior in college 11 years after high school?
