Happy semi-quincentennial. If your plans include lighting 250 candles — or fireworks just as bright — we have some safety tips.

But first, a roundtable reflection on all that has happened to get America to this point. Things could be worse, but there’s no question we live in a fractured period politically and culturally. Hence, not everyone is celebrating this weekend.

Is America at a turning point? Where does Florida fit in? What’s in the future?

Finally, we get up in your grill.
