The Scenic A1A Pride Committee meets at 9 a.m. at the Hammock Community Center, 79 Mala Compra Road, Palm Coast. The meetings are open to the public.

The Blue 24 Forum, a discussion group organized by local Democrats, meets at 12:15 p.m. at the conference room behind the Beverly Beach Town Hall, 2735 North Oceanshore Boulevard, Beverly Beach. It normally meets at the Palm Coast Community Center, but will be meeting at Beverly Beach through Aug. 11. Come and add your voice to local, state and national political issues.

“I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” at City Repertory Theatre, City Repertory Theatre, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, Palm Coast.  Immerse yourself in the extraordinary world of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, featuring the brilliant book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and the enchanting music by Jimmy Roberts.

Notebook: There’s always something upsetting if not mournful about a fallen tree, especially what, judging from its roots and width, must have been a stately tree. There’s something a lot more upsetting and not a little Orwellian about the felling of hundreds of trees, possibly more, to make room for what is billed as a nature walk. The picture above was taken alongside the path leading to the new pedestrian bridge on State Road 100, the bridge that got its ceremonial opening this week, the bridge of concrete and steel whose paths on either side replaced forest undisturbed for decades. This is what Edward Abbey called “industrial tourism,” because we just can’t stand to leave nature alone. Man’s imprint prevails. It isn’t to know that an undisturbed land is its own reward, even if we are not within it to hear its leaves fall. We have to leave our mark. Any wonder of nature Abbey had written, “is sure to be, someday, another national park complete with police, administrators, paved highways, automobile nature trails, official scenic viewpoints, designated campgrounds, Laundromats, cafeterias, Coke machines, flush toilets and admission fees.” We are doing the same to our small wonders, destroying nature in planned designs to appreciate it, and I don’t think very well at that.

—P.T.

 

Now this: Given the Murdoch retirement, ceding the place an even more extremist son, this question seems appropriate: Is Trump a Fascist?

“If theRussians sprayed Agent Orange over here, it would be chemical warfare for sure, but the United States poisoned its own soldiers. I can’t imagine why you’d want to defend a country that would do that.”

–From Bobbie Ann Mason’s In Country (1985).
