The Occupation­al Safety and Health Administra­tion doesn’t seem to agree.

OSHA accuses the Arlington post office of putting mail carriers in danger by requiring them to deliver mail in high temperatur­es in the summer.

The agency fined the postal service $129,336.

Note to OSHA: It’s hot in Florida ... in the summer.

Clothes optional? The seminude cyclist has struck again.

A man wearing a headband, hot pink socks, sneakers and, we believe, a thong was spotted riding a bicycle backward recently on Interstate 95.

The video posted on Twitter has been viewed over 160,000 times.

“Backwards now. He upped his game,” wrote Chris Kimball on the Twitter thread.

“Not gonna lie, dude’s got skills,” said another social media user.

Note to self: Riding a bicycle on I-95 is against the law.

Photo bomb: An Ocean Ridge man spent his wedding night in jail after breaking the nose of a man who refused to move out of his beachfront wedding pictures.

Jeffery E. Alvord, 27, was arrested following the fight with a 24-year-old man who refused offers of $50 to move out of the wedding pictures. Police said a groomsman held the victim so Alvord could hit him.

The wedding was held the next day.
