Tootsie was at ground zero for Hurricane Milton and was removed from the site for her safety. She's had a makeover during her sabbatical and is now back on guard!

Bradenton has a Uniroyal Woman with a patriotic twist [i.e. a stars-and-stripes bikini]. She's been guarding Edmunds Metal Works from threats to democracy for eight years. The proud owner of the metal shop is happy to provide her known history to anyone who asks.
