ETA - I see someone beat me to that tidbit...
Stealing a neighbor's idea, 20 years ago I built racks above my garage doors to store all our hurricane shutters - most are the old school corrugated AL and some clear. Works pretty well and a good use of that space.
They do use unmarked cars in Europe for traffic enforcement....
If Congress can't help themselves and are unable to get the low-hanging fruit, they will never tackle the tougher budget challenges.

Then in 2 years, it will be extended again and eventually be permament

From what I understand, the COVID subsidies just eliminated the cliff above a certain income (4x Fed Poverty I think). Below that, the COVID subsidies had little or no impact.

I remember Nick's tennis academy off 75th street.

Then IMG popped up on 34th street. I had gone to college and beyond by then.

Parents lived off El Conquistador in Palm Court from about 2000-2015 before moving into a retirement home. That was the last development on the road before they extended it to 75th street.

Then they start building on wetland/swamp all those new homes. And now they are building even more. As someone who grew up there in the 60s and 70s, it is sad. anyways...

Always some IMG properties showing up when searching for an AirBNB when visiting. Which we don't do as much now that my parents have passed. Siblings don't rate lol.

My nephew from GA went to tryouts/showcases at IMG for baseball and maybe football as well when he was trying to get college sports scholarships.
GOP rarely misses an opportunity to commit fratricide...
Deepwater Horizon doesn't help the perception of offshore drilling. Tourism is a obviously a huge driver in the state economy and Deepwater Horizon had a negative impact - heck, I think they are still handing out $$ from that.

Also, Eglin AFB and Tyndall AFB in the panhandle use most of the GOM to the south and east as part of their test ranges.

Oil rigs could impact testing. To what extent, I don't know.
I always enjoy sitting next to the hirsute bubba in a wife-beater, jorts and crocs as he spills over into my space....

I always said I could fly on a plane full of the swedish bikini team and get stuck between the 2 unshaven sheep-herders.

And I chuckle at the ladies that look like they headed to the club in heels, and semi-revealing clothes....

At least the cabin isn't filled with smoke anymore...
Numbers depend on how far back one goes.

I heard 15-20M before Biden flew open the gates and started bringing them here on our tax dollars...
not to travel - at least not that I am aware of - but to participate in competition....
If you are horse owner, this is a big deal.

Events here in FL are ramping up the health requirements in order to participate in response to this. If not canceling.
Meanwhile, he will fund gerrymandering attempts to help the Dems...
Love those Western Stars.

Trucks in the late 70s had some of the most interesting paint jobs available....
I have an old set of C9-1/2 bulbs that I bought at an antique store. No clue what the difference between those and C9 bulbs might be.

Not a fan of LED bulbs - too bright and cold.

yea - I am a boomer...
