    One of life's disappointing moments

    If he wants to be seen with bill o' , then thats his business. Birds of a feather and all that. I would cross the street to avoid the same air as bill o' . There seem to be a few good candidates, so there is a choice here. Mr Wise would be better that what we have, but I will look elsewhere...

    Democratic nominee and Walton voters

    In walton county, dem's are left out of the decision. The local election will be decided in the republican primary. By running a dem, we are prevented from voting among the republican candidates. The winner there will get 60% of the general election vote.

    Bikers - use the BIKE path!

    It is amazing how you can ride a long way, but come to the bridge at western lake and you can be sure you will encounter two or three runners and a bicycling family, all crossing at the same time as a car train in each direction!!! Summer or winter, traffic or none...it will happen! As for the...

    Bikers - use the BIKE path!

    Tim; I didn't mean to offend, but it is easier for you to get to 98 by car than for me by bike. 83 has no shoulder and is treacherous to even cross by bike. I agree that the spandex crowd can be a minor annoyance, but take your own advise. Slow down and enjoy the scenery.

    Bikers - use the BIKE path!

    Tim; from your posts it would seem that you are not a biker. It is far easier for you in a car to drive to 98 to get to your destination.I live off 30a, as i know you do. If I have a destination on or near 30a, I am not riding up to 98 to get there on my bicycle, just so the 30a flow is not...

    Bikers - use the BIKE path!

    Yes I think that would be rude, but do you know why they were riding that way? It is often the case that the car operators are rude to the biker, cutting very close while leaning on the horn, etc. Often the only defense when the road is too narrow for a car to safely pass, is for the cyclist to...

    Biking on the beach

    Do not leave your bike home! The long leaf pine trail is some nice singletrack through the coastal forest. It is soft due to being long time dry, but a fun ride. Big daddy's rents the pugsly with tires so wide the rear triangle is offset. ride at low tide. Ride don't drive!

    Bikers - use the BIKE path!

    While I agree that bikes in the street can be annoying, get over it! You forget that bicycles are environmentally friendly alternative TRANSPORTATION! Not toys! Some of use ride instead of drive. One day you will have to become one of us, or lard out at home. We are going places not just...

    Super week but a question....

    temps have been cold I'm sure. It felt that way to me. Rude service? well some will always be so. Did you talk to the people you met? People here are generally pretty friendly and engaging! Ignore the ignorant. Don't let them ruin it for you. Next time talk to the people. See you soon.

    We already have the seawalls! Now we need ocean dredging to pump sand onto the beach! Very good business for the dredge people! But without dredging there will be NO beach..... Thanks to the seawall people!

    Redfish Village Beach Access

    It is interesting... When the seawalls went up on the beach the county was good. The right of membership in the beachfront club was protected. Touting private property rights people of the beachfront club post no trespass signs. The redfish developer owns this property but now you say he has no...

    Surfrider Member meeting

    It would seem that some people are opposed to the people having a voice in beach access issues. For far to long the beachfront has had the only voice. They have proven that they do not have our interests at heart. From red sand to seawalls they have provided a current example of Hardin's tragedy...

    asphalt irrigation

    The spray is often directed across the bike path, and not by accident! On a bike and sprayed with what smells like dirty toilet water is NOT a fun experience, but a common one! Please look out for us bikers trying to avoid being fouled!

    Florida election system broken?

    The sun has a letter describing the problems with the touch screen machine. If my vote counts and your vote doesn't, WE lose! If I vote on paper, and your vote is not verifiable, then no recount is possible! If I vote for X on paper, your machine can steal plenty of votes from X to elect Y. If...

    Florida election system broken?

    Mr Beasley is the one who introduced paperless touchscreen voting. Mr Padget wants a verifiable recording so that every vote does count! You may not care...but we are losing our vote, and our freedom !

    Eastern Lake outlet opened today

    It took the county two years to get the gulf trace septic tanks off of the beach after they were exposed. The down side of the dune lakes draining is the increase in pollution of the near shore waters. It is not just septic tanks...its the non point source pollution. That is runoff of the roads...

    Who's voting for Ro?

    To explain; the problem is, when people start off saying " I've lived here my whole life " , that is to tell the rest of us that they know best! Unfortunately that is often not the case. Living here longest does not give you an ingrained knowledge of the environment, nor does it mean you care...

    Pygmy Rattlesnakes

    Yes I know some about the snake. You often will not notice them. They lie curled up in a 3-4 inch circle. We had one lying in a pot on our patio that wouldn't leave for days, but it never bothered us! Eventually , sitting on the patio was no problem. The biggest problem would be stepping on or...

    Who's voting for Ro?

    Party politics are in the local elections....You had people change party to vote for cindy last time in the primary.....because only republicans (Read greedy earth killers) get elected ! As for only one woman, I have seen the good ol boys ignore her as if she wasn't there. As for a candidate...
