The third part of the post dealt with my past experiences in matters such as this. Don't pop the cork out of the bottle to early. I distinctly remember George W flying onto an aircraft carrier and declaring the victory and job complete. That was over 5 years ago and guess what - we are still there ! You never, never underestimate the oposition. When you strike at the "King" you had better make sure you eliminate him.


Thats a statesman's answer - not a politicians spin !
I encourage you to learn about what "mission accomplished" meant to that ship and its crew, which had just completed the longest mission in recent history.;-) I think you have to know about something before you can really spin it.

Now, back to the signs.

John R, Commissioner Brannon was in Tallahassee with three other Commissioners during one of those last meetings, trying to secure funding for four laning hwy 331. Was it a strategic plan on his part to avoid the TDC meeting or was it because we really need to secure funding for the expansion and four lane bridges which would span the Bay? I don't know. Nor can I speak for his excuse at the other meetings. I agree. If you are going to sit on a Board, show up. Also, don't just walk out of a meeting like Commissioner Jones did after threatening to have the Sheriff's Deputy remove a citizen who was acting within his rights at the last BCC meeting. Where is the news story on that, BTW?

Ray Padgett has it on video, and will be posting it as soon as he cuts the vid into meeting segments. check www.waltondemocrats.org and click on "BCC video." He hasn't posted it to the website yet, but is working on it. Too bad the Republicans don't have their own archivist for the meetings. lol. It will be under the first of the two Driftwood Estates topics.

Sorry for the tangent. Back to big blue signs. Did anyone read the lady's letter to the Defuniak Herald, regarding the signs, printed in today's paper? She suggested that we could improve the existing signs by digging a 30ft deep hole, and pushing the signs into them, then covering them with dirt.

And I have not suggested it because they would want me to do it. I told Ray I was just going to link to his site and build me a template.

And, believe it or not, Ray said he had absolutely no problem with that. But netiquette prevents me from doing so. I just tell people to go see it at the Democrat site.

I can't resist, though I know it is "off topic". Thanks SJ for explaining the misunderstanding what the "mission accomplished" sign meant. It always gripes me no end when anyone uses it as a signal to the end of the Iraq war as that was not the case. NOW BACK TO THE SIGNS.

If I am not mistaken the chairman of the taxpayers association was on TV hating the signs demanding they be removed(Bonnie McQuiston). She is very concerned about tax dollars. Just for everyones peace of mind, I'm a girly girl, who sees red when she reads your post, and hopes you feel like a dawg when you have successfully thrown 1/4 milllion dollars out the window.
