No, I did not know the Keystone election results before the polls closed. But you would think so, if you noted the time of 9 am posted on my previous blog. I noticed the mistake the moment I hit the "submit" button. Help, come back! I figured there might be some way to edit my mistake, but no such luck. I had a difficult time posting the blog to begin with, as I thought I could just "paste" the neat, orderly file I had done in a word document. Again, no such luck. So it took me forever to straighten that out. Then I noticed in the "preview" section that the date and time were listed as 12/31/69 - 7 pm.

Bloggers, I need your help. I was at a baseball game recently at Green Cove Springs Junior High School. Incidentally, while there I heard from some bus drivers who can’t say enough good things about the GCS principal. Anyhow, I was told the Pittsburg Pirates once held spring training on that baseball field. Is this urban legend or fact? Can you help me out on this one?

Oops! We Goofed! Let's say it's just some growing pains. The story I did in today's paper on the nine amendments folks will vote on March 6 had the wrong date for the town meeting on the amendments. The meeting will be tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall. NOT TUESDAY. But if you show up Tuesday at the same time and place, all is not in vain. You can attend a city council meeting. Also on tap for the week in KH: Wed., Feb. 28, 7 p.m., City Hall, Zoning Meeting; Thurs., March 1, 7 p.m., City Hall, Candidate Forum. Any questions email me at annes@mindspring.com
