I trust firefighters and their skill as they attend to fires

I respect and admire those firefighters whose compassion and skill is nonpareil as they serve as E.M.Ts

But I will have no truck with their political endorsements.



The truth might be that "some firefighters endorse Mr. Moran.

Some or all Sarasota County firefighters are endorsing a candidate who (so far as we know) has no experience in running a multi-million dollar anything.

The "anything" in this case is the non-political Sarasota Tax Collectors Office.

It has been led for decades by the awesome Barbara Willliams Ford-Coates.  Thanks to her skill and well-trained staff it is a pleasure to do business at one of the County Tax Collector Offices.

Thus in the business of (for example) getting new registration plates, or renewing a drivers licence etc. is a sheer pleasure. Not like the typical DMV!

Here is a bit about Barbara


Firefighters or not, who would want to replace her with a political neophyte and hack?

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
