First Coast has its own allure for some newcomers I know the First Coast covers a lot of territoty and sometimes the T-U can be a little slow figuring out what's going on in Clay County, but, to anybody stuck in traffic on Blanding or 17, it ain't news that newcomers like it here. They like it so much we're having to ugly-up the county with impact fees just to make it less alluring. From CNN.com ...

Mike,
Is there any other direction BUT down that something goes when it falls, including prices?
I can think of a few times when my need for sustinance came close to an emergency. If memory serves, it included either food, drink or women or all of the above. Times can be tough sometimes.
Allure is relative. Try finding a good deli around here when you have a sandwich emergency.
Mountains, altitude, avalanches....hmmmm. Has no one ever heard of the term, inherent danger? Just like people getting bit by sharks. If you don't want to get bitten, don't go where the biting takes place. It's really that simple.
Sorry to say, FEMA has such a sterling record, they don't need to be warned. They have plenty of warning. Unfortunately, after the fact.
Few people know this little fact. Women go crazy wild for accordian players. Keep that under your hat, if you wear a hat.
What about rigatoni?
I wonder how many hungry kids could get fed for $1.62 million?
I'm happy to see that some one FINALLY got the spelling of the mans name right for once. Now if we could only get some of the local broadcast people to learn how to PRONOUNCE some words correctly on the air. Especially words with more than two syllables. But don't try this at home. They are paid professionals with degrees in communication skills.
Another great posting. Thanks Mike.
