Beware of rabid raccoons! Please be careful of the raccoons and other feral animals in and around St. Augustine, since a young girl from the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind was bitten earlier this week.

Once this happens, I anxiously look forward to December 22, when the shortest day of the year is over! I love Daylight Savings Time. Al...

I had the pleasure this past weekend of attending a wedding in Cleveland, downtown Cleveland. It was my first visit since as a college student in the 60s, we "buzzed Euclid." Has it ever changed!
