With all the rain we have been having this summer on the Florida panhandle, I am giving serious consideration to building an ark!
Anyone who knows me knows that me building anything is a disaster waiting to happen. My failed work projects are legend.
I went to the south annex today to renew my tags and there was a lady outside of the doors with a table and a bunch of paper on it and she yelled out at me, “Please come sign this petition to protect woman’s health care rights.”
A revised draft of the Land Development Code is being considered by the Santa Rosa County Board of Commissioners.
On page 348 of the 532-page document, two short sentences are about to throw open the doors to bars on Hwy 98 from Gulf Breeze to Navarre. Current code restricts bars from being within 2500 feet of schools or churches.
“Who is going to protect the swimmers?” asked a woman during the public forum portion of the Santa Rosa County board of commissioners meeting.

But that’s a column for another day.
I am crazy about aircraft of all kinds but get particularly excited over military aircraft.
Living in Navarre nestled among the many military bases and airfields, I’m three-for-three in the real estate maxim, location-location-location.
July is here and as I’m writing this – the fourth is tomorrow.
