Pushing The Limits
Some people don’t understand that there’s a limit to “cute.”
There is a house locally that has a manatee mailbox. It is a sculpture of a momma manatee with a nursing baby, and a mailbox coming out under momma’s chin. It that weren’t enough, there have been seasonal hats and scarves put on the manatees from time to time. The treacle is enough to slow your car when you’re trying to drive by.
We just try to ignore it and hope the people will come to their senses and put up post for their mailbox like everyone else.
Now they have escalated. For the “season”, in their front yard, lighted at night, these people have put up two flamingos in Santa hats!
It is about time the code enforcement board did its job. The house and property have to approach $2 million as a newer house on a large piece of land on the waterfront. There need to be some standards, even for the wealthy.
Update: I would note that Bill O’Reilly has no problem attacking rabbis for wanting a menorah at their local airport, but has been silent on the flamingos.

Why Florida Should Have Been Crying With Bush Sr.
The Pensacola Beach Blog has an article up on another of the John Ellis failures: Florida’s juvenile justice system. The Republicans won’t adequately fund the programs they are required to pay for, and then they deny responsibility when those programs fail. Tax breaks are more important.

Independent News
The Independent News is the alternate weekly for Gulf Breeze / Pensacola area.
Their current cover story is about the book, War of the Words by Craig Myers. The article by Mari Saugier Krueger discusses the Gulf Breeze UFO story. Among UFOlogists, Gulf Breeze is nearly as important as Roswell, even if many people don’t want to be reminded of it.
To quote myself: “While newcomers in Gulf Breeze, near Pensacola, have created a hot spot for UFO reports, if an actual alien spacecraft landed in the center of Fort Walton Beach, the police would call Eglin and tell them to remove their latest experiment from the road.”
