![]() Someone reached out Thursday to have a chat. Nothing special, just ideas he wanted to toss about and wondered if I’d be interested to listen. This isn’t someone I know. We may have met but I’m not sure. He’s a Just Wright Citrus reader and interested in local politics. ![]() OK, let's try this again. I’m having a party. You’re invited. Forget the Facebook invite I sent last week and then immediately canceled. More about that snafu in a minute. Oh, the particulars: Saturday, Oct. 7, open house from 1 to 5 p.m. at Just Wright Citrus World Headquarters on the shores of Big Lake Henderson in Inverness. ![]() Today’s wrap from Tuesday’s County Commission meeting has less to do with what was done rather than what was said. Sort of a weird meeting for me. I’m still in somewhat of a fog and only decided to walk to the Courthouse from Just Wright Citrus World Headquarters at the last minute instead of watching online. ![]() Some blogs just write themselves. Like this one. A government agency entirely on its own did something dumb and now refuses to fix it despite clearly being in the wrong. And it’s not just bureaucracy — the effect places Crystal River boaters in potential danger. So that doubles down on dumb. ![]() Anything happened while I was in quarantine? That’s the weird thing about this particular virus go-around. Not nearly as bad as the first time, thank God, but still need to isolate. It kept me home with bedrest and all that, but I like being out and about, seeing the world as we know it. ![]() First off this Friday, thank you. Your kindness to my post Thursday of no blog was very much appreciated. I’m feeling much more human today. Enough, anyway, for a Friday post of random thoughts with one caveat: No politics. Here we go: ![]() We had a little weather the other day. A week ago Tuesday we all went to bed with visions of hurricane cones in our heads. Wednesday morning was a relief for most in Citrus County, but the trouble was just starting in Crystal River. ![]() Today we turn our attention away from Hurricane Idalia for a moment. To this guy. His name is Jesse Rumson. Unless familiar with Jesse, you may not recognize him without his infamous panda head. The one he wore on Jan. 6, 2021. |
