    Need to get busy again, there is so much that needs to be clean up. Just go down Front Street. Why dose it take so long to get that street clean up. I suppose they have to go before a Judge and pay fines I guess, but surely something can be done. Looks so bad.

    Instead of the Florida Building Code, God gave him an even stricter building code. Just read his instructions in Genesis. Noah would have had it easy if he built it today.
