“The Eden of the eternal present that the animal world has known for ages was shattered at last. Through the human mind, time and darkness, good and evil, would enter and possess the world.”
–Loren Eiseley, from the essay “The Immense Journey,” in “Collected Essays, vol. 1” (Library of America).

Larry Phelan says
Yesterday, a friend from St. Augustine called and wanted to go to a restaurant with an ocean view in Palm Coast. I had to give him directions to Flagler Beach. So much for tourism! And what about the beaches? Jungle Hut is a mess, and Varn Park is undergoing refurbishing! There arent any refreshment stands at either beach. I sometime wonder if the City Council knows there is a part of Palm Coast on the east side of 95??
