Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.
Al-Anon Family Groups: Help and hope for families and friends of alcoholics. Meetings are every Sunday at Silver Dollar II Club, Suite 707, 2729 E Moody Blvd., Bunnell, and on zoom. More local meetings available and online too. Call 904-315-0233 or see the list of Flagler, Volusia, Putnam and St. Johns County meetings here.
In Coming Days:

Keep in Mind: The Belle Terre Swim & Racquet Club is open, welcoming and taking new memberships, and if you enroll before Sept. 1, you’ll beat the price increase kicking in then. Experience the many amenities including a lap pool, wading pool, tennis/pickleball courts, sauna, and a modern wellness center–all for less than what you’d pay just for a fitness center at your typical commercial gym. Friendly staff is available to answer any questions you may have about becoming a member. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club is the sort of place where you can connect with fellow community members and experience the welcoming atmosphere that sets BTSRC apart. If you have any questions, feel free to call at 386-446-6717. If you would like to learn more about our club and membership options please visit online.
Notably: The EPA reports that commercial airplanes and large business jets contribute 10 percent of U.S. transportation emissions, and account for 3 percent of the nation’s total greenhouse gas production. But globally, researchers calculated that aviation contributes around 4% to human-induced global warming, more than most countries do. Also, keep this in mind: let’s assume you own a car that goes 25 miles per gallon, highway and city combined. Let’s assume you drive 15,000 miles a year. let’s assume you drive for 55 years. That’s 825,000 miles. That’s 33,000 gallons of fuel in your lifetime. Now let’s Google: how many gallons of fuel does a plane consume from New York to Tokyo? 49,453 gallons (187,200 liters). That’s a lot of contrails. Thank heavens for Google. See below.

Simcoe read a book. It was all right to do that here [in Mexico]. In the States it was acceptable to read newspapers and magazines in public, but not books, unless you wanted to be taken for a student or a bum or a lunatic or all three. Here you could read books in cafés without giving much offense, and even write them.
–From Charles Portis’s Gringos (1991).

Falling on deaf ears and daft intellect, I sadly know. Donald Trump is a criminal and will answer to his transgressions. And I am being very, very polite. BLUE WAVE all the WAY. For our earth, our sanity and humankind. And going forward, I am done with being polite.
