58 votes and .2 percent of the vote.

That is all that separates Kerry Smith from Jeff Ates in the Santa Rosa County Commission District 2 seat.

That .2 per cent of the vote is significant as an automatic recount is triggered when vote-getters are not separated by more than .5 percent of the vote.

Col. Wood from Hurlburt addressed the board of the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization saying, “We are part of the problem, and we want to be part of the solution (to traffic problems on Hwy 98).”

When the Santa Rosa County Board of Commissioners doubled the gas tax in 2015, the total gas tax became 12 cents per gallon. But how is the use determined? What can it be spent on?

Like many, if not most churches today, COMPASS Church uses presentation software to display the songs and Scripture texts on a flat screen TV for worship services. That software is linked to several databases so that all we need to do is type in a song title or Scripture reference, and instantly we are provided with the words fully formatted for display. Those who use it know what a time-saver such software can be. I appreciate the available technology, but I also have a complaint – the song lyrics have no punctuation.

Spring has sprung and oddly, certain trucks are a lot louder. I was sitting outside eating at Johnny Huston’s and no less than six different trucks went by on Highway 98 revving their engines with a loud reverberation. I decided it was some kind of “mating call.” It is definitely an attempt to garner attention. I mean – girls really dig loud trucks – not. But maybe, they were girls trying to attract the guys. That would actually be genius, but then you might end up with a guy who thinks one of the coolest things you can do is drive around with a loud truck, and that doesn’t sound like a winning proposition to me. Most people try to find cars that have low road noise and don’t make loud sounds like back firing – on purpose. I decided to ask the all-knowing Google why people do this to their vehicles and the answers are not fit to print. The consensus online is that the drivers are trying to make up for shortcomings in other areas. I thought I was just being hyper-critical, but the online crowd is ruthless – and anti-loud noise popping trucks as well.
