Things might be about to change in Florida.
A renewed push is on in Tallahassee to ramp up our existing driving laws in the state. And, I cannot say I am at all against the proposed changes. Even though legislators in Florida are historically reluctant to put too many restrictions on drivers here, at least one […]

And, if there is not one out there, you can have one made. More and more schools and organizations are turning to silicone bracelets for fundraising […]

The cost of college tuition just keeps going up and up. Here in Florida, tuition increases were just approved for the big state universities and colleges. It used to be that the University of Florida was a bargain buy for a school of its caliber. Now, tuition there is more on par with the rest […]

I’ve never given much thought to what happens to the future of our crops and other plant life in the event of a disaster. I suppose I assumed it would just find a way of regenerating.
