You run mail out there


My student job 25 years ago was running mail on campus from The Vet School to Lod Cook and most major offices in between. You would be surprised what people send in to the Vet School. Especially after 9/11 and the anthrax scare.
I’m in Ft Morgan everyday. Very chill and plenty beach for everyone. They are also doing a ton of building with most of those condos sleeping 20-30 people if folks need to be in the same house with the whole family. Beach Club also nice amenities on site if you need those kinds of things. My family stays on Ponce De Leon every year at a house with a pool. They pack enough food not to leave the beach house all week except the Adults indulge 1 meal at Jesses. Cook all fish, crabs, and oysters we get during the week.
They tear up my market size oysters if a larger one gets in my bags. I feel justified to take both claws due to them being a predator.
Caught 6 yesterday in 4 crab traps on the oyster farm in Mobile Bay. I delicious treat with the rest of the boiled crawfish and crabs.
Gulf Shores does a great job of using those tax dollars along with getting huge amounts of grants for smart growth. The school system is one of the top in the country. They seperated from Baldwin County and run The City School system. Just built a $140 million dollar high school with state of the art sports facility, culinary and hospitality program and now areospace program in conjunction with the Airport upgrading to an International airport. The kids built and flew its own plane last year. Fire Department, police, and life guards and emergency services are top notch. Gulf Shores pays for ambulance and air med rides for all residents. Roads are improving but that has a lot to do with ALDOT not the City.

Crawfish boil with all the fixings. Caught 20 crabs and 6 stone crabs to add to the pot. Storm last night turned over a couple of my traps or would have been more.
You would be very surprised. Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble down here. City does a great job of spending that tax money from the tourist. I’m in heaven compared to where I was living. (Baton Rouge)
I live in Gulf Shores and only venture to OB when absolutely necessary. Never between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Besides Condos the Mayor was pushing through a Dolly Parton Pirates dinner theater. Some council members claimed they had no idea. Town hall meeting was called that turned out to be very entertaining. Lots of crawfishing.

Had a friend from BR text a few days ago and ask when did OB become more expensive than Destin.
Helena Moreno’s sister had piles of lawsuits and discovery coming out on Kennon including the night he was naked on the balcony of City property beating his wife. Should be fun to watch her follow the money trail. She has them squirming. Latest is the City stopped fighting after spending over 50k in legal fees for Tony.

Otis email received. We are working on it. BSF was supposed to be back online last month.

In Baton Rouge for wife’s graduation. Albasha because we have no Greek in Gulf Shores.
Swarmed us in the garage playing poker last night right at Dusk in Ft Morgan. Reverse ventilation, cigar smoke, and a rain shower helped.

Several became rentals to college kids back in the early 2000’s. Nice homes but soon became quickly run down by groups of frats that used their buddies rental houses as party palaces off campus.
My family has 500 acres that backs up to Vermilion Corp property. Wonder the possibilities….

Morning folks! My parents are in town to put a swing set together for our toddler and poor Bebe has foot, hand and mouth. Still being a trooper though.
Same bottle of Old Spice I’ve been using since College(20 years). I went and put it back in the shelf after she scanned it and said no thank you. Shopped at Rouses today and it was about $20 cheaper for the same amount of groceries from Publix. $40 instead of $60.

Edit to add Publix makes damn good Lemon Pound Cake. I’ve had 3 since Afroman started singing about it. Same thing happened with Colt 45 and 2 zig zags.
Deodorant was $9.49 at Publix. I’ll use some Dawn under there.

Good morning fine folks
You get what you pay for. Very wide open, not in the best shape fun course to play. Should have hit Pirates Cove for a burger and bushwhacker after. Only 10 mins away.
