DeSantis Ambitions by Steve Sack, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
DeSantis Ambitions by Steve Sack, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Today at the Editor’s glance: The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the Marineland History exhibit and Surf Culture Museum is scheduled for today at 5:30 p.m. at the Saint Augustine Historical Society – Oldest House Museum Complex. Hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, and a limited edition signature surf culture cocktail from the St. Augustine Distillery. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. The Florida League of Cities‘ annual conference concludes in Orlando (at the Orlando World Center Mariott). Here’s the conference’s full program. Tropical Storm Fred’s indecisiveness continued as it crossed over Cuba, diminishing into a tropical depression, but regaining strength as a tropical storm. The good news for Florida: it’s taken a wider swing into the Gulf of Mexico, putting Flagler County completely out of the cone of probability. Vaccinations and Covid testiong, Saturdays & Sundays between 9 and 11AM at 301 Dr. Carter Blvd. in Bunnell will host testing for Flagler students, teachers and school staff who are considered close contacts of a confirmed COVID cases. These are individuals who have quarantined for at least four days and are testing as part of the “Test to Return” program. In Medias Res: Roger Crisp, a fellow in philosophy at Oxford University, wonders in the New Statesman whether human extinction might not be so bad. At least for some: “It’s plausible that the process leading to various forms of extinction, and extinction itself, would be bad for many of us, given that our lives are, overall, good for us and that, all else being equal, the longer they are the better. But it’s also plausible that extinction would be good for some individuals – those in the final stages of an agonising terminal illness, for example, whose pain can no longer be controlled by drugs. This means one key factor in judging the overall value of non-extinction will involve weighing these disparate interests against each other.”




Vaccination and testing schedule for Aug. 13-20: With the start of school and continued increases in the number of COVID cases reported each week, Flagler County Health Department (DOH-Flagler) continues to expand its testing and vaccination clinics. Testing appointments and vaccinations are now available seven days a week at 301 Dr. Carter Blvd. in Bunnell and testing five days a week at 120 Airport Road, 2nd floor.

“No. We can excuse drunkenness when it’s fertile, creative, rejuvenating; but it’s base, detestable when it weakens, debilitate and kills.” (“Non. On peut excuser l’ivresse quand elle est féconde, crée, vivifie; mais elle est ignoble, detestable lorsqu’elle affaiblit, énerve et tue.”)

–Ninon de Lenclos, in Annie Brierre’s “Ninon de Lenclos” (1967).

    As long as desantis keeps acting like an hssaole he’ll be a lock for a maga endorsement.
