Sarasota’s Red-Light District … we aughtta be ashamed!
Mother of Three Killed by Red-Light Runner. There really should be a special place in hell for people who intentionally run red lights. I also have a special disdain for people who don’t pull over (safely) when ambulances or fire trucks are approaching from either in front or behind. Is anyone really in that big […]

This weekend, November 12, 13, and 14, the Sarasota Orchestra is presenting a unique “Masterworks” concert that seems designed for someone like me — who is open to, but sometimes uncertain about, classical music … at least beyond my immortal beloved.

Election Etcetera
I was on the streets and at precincts throughout Sarasota County yesterday from about 7 am to 5:30 pm (with only a short break at my office to squeeze in some “real” work). I was also at the Democratic party at Gecko’s on Hillview Avenue in the evening hours. Though all the precincts I visited […]

Attack Ad “Facts” are Fiction
I dig what Nancy Feehan, candidate for District 70 Florida House, had to say about her opponent Doug Holder’s recent negative television ads which say she’s lying when she talks about his voting record. (She’s not lying — check out the links below if you want to see his voting record). “While it’s disappointing that […]
