VIP at GNV
I picked my son up this evening (6:00 PM) at the airport GNV. As I entered the access road, I saw some flashing, red and blue and 3 large black SUVs, with heavily tinted windows bookend by 2 police cars past me going the other way.
He said he thought he saw Air Force One on the tarmac adjacent to 3 SUV. Somebody suggested that it might be Marco Rubio. What the hell would the lil' Marco be doing in Gainesville?
If it wasn't him who could it be?

Call Kat Cammack
I just called both washington and local offices of our 3rd Districk Congresswoman Cammack imploring her to vote for the Massie Amendment, that would strip Section 219 from the NDAA which integrate US and Israeli technical, electronic intelligence by law.
Wedding US military technology with any other nation on Earth it's reckless and treasonous. Israel is no exception.
It is being voted on today.

Swimming Lessons
My son, who's an avid cyclist, and runner, wants to start doing triathlons. Needs a pool to do laps as well as a swimming lesson or two, to help with his form.
Are you still registered to vote?
Just got my Vote by Mail ballot last week for the primary next month. If you did not get yours you need to check to see if you're still signed up for VBM, or maybe you've been purged from the voter rolls?

So close.
Bagging dog poop is the worst part. So you carry it all the way to the trash can, but can't seem to get it in?
They're back...
It used to be an annual event, the Air Potato Roundup. Scouts and other civic groups canvased the city to pull these bad boys out. We did such a good job that we stopped needing to do it.
But now I've noticed these on Glen Springs Road. I can't imagine it's an isolated occurrence.
It's time to start it up again?
What's going on with the Publix app?
