PBCFR Yellow Dot Program
Have you ever wondered, what
would happen if you got into a car
crash and you were unconscious?
Have you thought to yourself…how
would anyone know what my medical
history is; or how would they know
about the medications I am taking; or the
medicines I’m allergic to; or better yet,
how would they know what hospital
that I want to go to…? Who would
call my family and let them know
I’ve been hurt? How would they even
know how to get in touch with my
family?
The good news is that you don’t have to wonder or
worry about that anymore. Palm Beach County Fire
Rescue supports a new Program called the Yellow Dot. The
Yellow Dot gets important information into the hands of
emergency responders quickly and it can save your life!

there is nothing I can do.” Finally, the official from the
aquarium said it was time to go. I said my goodbye,
uncoiled the tentacle and left.
For many months after, I could not discuss what
was one of the most emotional experiences of my life
without bursting into tears. It’s also why I fully related
to Canadian scuba diver Krystal Janicki’s description
in this new book of her own experience on one dive –
an encounter with a giant Pacific octopus, which reads
in part, “I forgot everything else existed … One arm
is up and over my cheek and holding my head against
her mantle. We’re completely off the ground. We’re
floating. She’s holding me with two arms. I’m feeling
her breathe …”
“The sense of communion was palpable as the two
adult females – one vertebrate, one invertebrate; one
marine, the other terrestrial – stared into each other’s

“It stole me in a way I’ve never felt with a human or

AGGRESSIVE MARKETING! You would do well to read both of Sy Montgomery’s
(561) 756-8508 octopus books to derive the most benefit. If you
consider them as cameras from which to view the lives
of these creatures, Secrets of the Octopus will provide
a rich panoramic view of their truly superhuman
combination of intelligence and range of physical
NEW LISTING capabilities, as well as today’s broad diversity of
species in this 300-million-year inheritance.
The Soul of an Octopus, a deeply satisfying and
emotional read, will be your close-up lens from which
to view how two of this world’s creatures, so alien in
every way from one another – author Sy Montgomery
and the several octopuses she studied – were able to
form close relationships as evidence of the cognitive
and intelligence abilities now known to be a part of
the lives of these undersea geniuses. 
