Battle of Pensacola




Yesterday morning was a chamber of commerce weather day--perfect for a community game of kickball!

The game, an abbreviated 5-inning contest, was sponsored and organized by the Escambia County Sheriff's Foundation and played at the Blue Wahoo's Stadium.

The participants, a mix of elected and appointed public officials as well as community leaders from Escambia County-were divided into two teams--an "A" team and a "B" Team.

After all the fun, trash talking, and strained muscles-- the game was decided by one single run.  Sheriff Simmons' team won, and he is the only player to score, ironically.  

Final Score 1-0

(I got one "at-bat" and was happy to get a single.)

Lots of fun but next year we need to go nine innings!  😀

(Four Escambia County Commissioners competed in the game--with Lumon May and I playing on Sheriff Simmons' team--the winning squad---and Mike Kohler and Robert Bender on the other, the losing side.)

The real battle around here is between the clerk of court and the BOCC. Like we want to fund internet with our hard earned money when we already had federal dollars to spend on it.


With all the federal dollars being wasted by D.C. clerk is focusing on revenge and ways to punish the citizens and her enemies.

Back off Loni.

Get a grip.

Go to the dug out and think about it.

Being negative gets you nowhere it makes you look like sour grapes. Spending the money on fiber is great when other wont do it and say in a few we will run it.
