This great article at the Georgia Public Policy Foundation site points out the falicy in argument used to support the global warming theory. The argument was that the Brown Thrasher is responding to global warming by spending less time in Georgia and in fewer numbers. What’s important to keep in mind as you [...]
A neighbor of ours from down the street, Ray Traylor, “Big Boss Man” passed away Wednesday night. We didn’t really know him as his house (while on the same side of our street) was in a different section. But Becky had seen him at the park with his girls and we’d seen him [...]
I have gotten a little tired of the shock stories that demostrate how liberal or anti-Christian our country has become, but this article by Michelle Malkin is quite excellent and offers a nice emphasis on the fact that our enemy in the war on terror and the terrorists in general are Islamic jihadists. And [...]
Once again, people are willing to pass a tax on themselves as long as it is “for the kids”. Don’t get me wrong. I want to have money for schools, and teachers, and books, but I am not sure getting in the habit of always having a max’d out sales tax in the [...]

Some special notes about their service that I think need mentioning: the extensive photo galleries, the gobs of useful information that we’re able to pass on to folks in Pensacola [...]
I guess that Hurricane (really Tropical Storm/Depression at the time) Ivan really did do some damage in the Atlanta area. I was stunned to hear that 210,000 customers on Georgia Power and another 55,000 in EMC’s were without power. We had several little brown outs and brief surges but nothing sustained. Apparently [...]
Here is another shot of the I-10 bridge. It shows a Florida Highway Patrol car on the bridge.
This updated photo from the Pensacola News Journal of the I-10 bridge shows the extensive damage. Obviously it was the water coming up from under it that did the damage. Normally the water is at least 20 feet below that section.
Despite what the idiotic Weather Channel hosts have been saying, there was another Hurricane in Pensacola’s recent history. Opal was the second hurricane of 1995 to hit to the panhandle but Hurrican Erin was the first. While barely ranked as a category 2 hurricane, Erin did as much or more damage in Pensacola [...]
