There appears to be a lot of transferring going on lately, and not just among college athletes either.
We’re talking a lot of movement among high school athletes as well. One coach in particular to the east of us seems to be working extra hard to bring in athletes from Navarre.
This is the kind of stuff that TV movies are made of. Our previous county attorney, Roy Andrews, was fired in December 2020.
Prior to his being fired, he told developers that it was A-OK to build an RV park on Navarre Beach even though the Navarre Beach Lease Agreement does not allow for an RV park. It wasn’t brought up for a vote – it just happened.
A budget workshop last month became a political science lecture when commissioners disagreed about how Santa Rosa County should craft its next spending plan.
Staff suggested creating new revenue sources to relieve the county’s dependence on property tax.
The saying goes, “You learn something new every day.” I have something worth sharing.
During World War II, with all it’s horrible statistics, Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Bible New Testaments with metal covers, a blessing, as follows: To the Army, on the inside cover was our beloved American flag. On the next page FDR, by letter, admonished them to “Read the Bible.”
Ben Franklin did a lot of great things for this country. One of his bright ideas that I am not found of, and really hate to be honest, is daylight-saving time.
Well, that’s not entirely true. I actually prefer daylight-saving time. What I don’t like is the switch back to standard time.
For the most part, politicians need to leave sports alone. That includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
He and lawmakers in the state have these big dreams of trying to reshape the FHSAA.
On a recent flight to Indiana, I was only half-listening to the safety orientation, that is until the flight attendant said a word that made me pay closer attention.
The word itself was not provocative, it was her pronunciation that captured my attention. “To tigh-en your seatbelt belt,” she informed, “simply pull on the strap.” Tigh-en? What happened to the “T”?
With so much political drama at the recent county commission meetings, we aren’t sure what county business is being tended to.
We have an apology from Sam Parker for using a derogatory term against Jews – of which I’m 26.6% Jewish – and I accept his apology.
The other day, I watched “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and more than 40 years later it remains an excellent movie on its own and is still the peak of Star Trek in my opinion.
One thing I really paid attention to in this latest viewing of the movie is just how great some of the lines are and how they really have inspired me and have had a small part in forging me into the person I am today.
I received an email the other day from one of those companies in the middle of somewhere about NCAA basketball.
Call it good timing, especially with March Madness getting rolling this week with the NCAA tournament.
It lists the top 10 best cities for college hoops fans and the top 10 worst cities.
