At this rate you’re going to have to create a legend to keep up with oh so many Seussian characters. Can’t wait to read more!

I am proud to say I thought Pam Blonde to be a lightweight during an edit board meeting in Pensacola many years back. I believe I pulled a neck muscle shaking my head (Gannet denied the worker's comp--oh well). I also had to deal with Matty Gaetz in Pcola, so I have spent my time in hell. Then there's always Rick Scott, who showed up for a campaign rally in Pcola and hour early because Central Time actually exists!!

My favorite governor, and I know you want to know, was Reubin Askew. But I haad just come Florida for school from New Jersey--so what did I know? All-time Gov. Name Team.

Rubio has disappointed me. When I first heard him speak, 2006 or so, I figured he would run from president some day. He was impressive . . . and "after all this time he was just like all the rest . . . ''to quote Bruce. (Again, from New Jersey.)

But Marco is just playing the winning hand.

Dick, there just aren’t enough Seuss characters to go around.

In that case, there’s a whole lot more nonsense heading your way.

I heart Yertle’s brave and loving indictment of his wife: “She set the vision.”

loved this one Bob, was out at Orlando Wetlands Park the other day and from boardwalk spotted what I thought might be shad spawning. Did Morris boys ever participate in Sentinel Shad Derby and is there a Florida history story somewhere?

Growing up I always followed the Shad Derby in the Sentinel, but never went fishing until years later, on the St. Johns outta Osteen. Big fun. Need to do it again. But methinks shad season is over now.
