July is one of the slowest months in sports. The good thing is the month doesn’t last forever. The bad thing is we still have 18 days to go before it’s over.
Hurlburt Field – The 1st Special Operations Wing hosted Summer Leadership School for the seventh consecutive year, June 26-30, here, providing nearly 60 Junior ROTC cadets from five local high schools with a week of hands-on experience in military affairs and mentorship from Airmen assigned to Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base.
These days it seems that many people are running around, just trying to survive the day, being a slave to the day’s to-dos. We get up, rush to get to it, possibly do some more rushing and almost certainly some mind-numbing tasks, come home, eat food that damages our bodies, get entertained by things that numb our feelings and then go to bed and get ready to do it all over again. Ummm, boo! Let’s look at some ways to change that.
Seems like the Board of County Commissioners is finding their inner Goldilocks when it comes to land for the future courthouse. This one is too expensive, this one is free but lacks infrastructure, this one isn’t in the right place, and none of them are just right. The indecisiveness of this board would be amusing if we didn’t need a new courthouse yesterday. But you can read about it in Rob Johnson’s story on 1A. Hopefully you read it before you got to this page.
We give credit where credit is due. We therefore agree on the merits with Commissioner Rob Williamson’s July 6 statement on policymaking, when he told constituents in Tiger Point that government cannot be run like a business. And this is very true.
