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.
Notably: All of a sudden I’ve been getting emails from a person identified–I suspect, as a pun–as “Donnie Brooke,” who claims, with alien emojis (as if saying the word “alien” is like saying g-d), that “There May(?) Be An Underwater 
Base Just Of The Coast Of Deerfield Beach, Fla.” He says that “1 Of The 2 Seems To Be Similar To The Pentagon “Tic-Tac” UFO. The “Tic-Tac” Is Nordic Tall White Extra-Terrestrial Technology.” He sends pictures of the apparent UFO (which seems to me indistinguishable from a bit of light shining through a break in the cloud, but what do I know), and a brief biography of himself: he was a pro wrestler until 2010, when he decided to start “researching” UFO’s. He claims that in 2024 we will have “The Birth Of the New Republic.” He does not specify whether that means The New Republic will be redesigned, yet again sold, or passed on to one more editor in chief. The hand of god inserted in the picture below is Donnie’s work.

An observer sitting on a beach can make at least an intelligent guess whether the surf spilling out onto the sand before him has been produced by a gale close offshore or by a distant storm. Young waves, only recently shaped by the wind, have a steep, peaked shape even well out at sea. From far out on the horizon you can see them forming whitecaps as they come in; bits of foam are spilling down their fronts and boiling and bubbling over the advancing face, and the final breaking of the wave is a prolonged and deliberate process. But if a wave, on coming into the surf zone, rears high as though gathering all its strength for the final act of its life, if the crest forms all along its advancing front and then begins to curl forward, if the whole mass of water plunges suddenly with a booming roar into its trough–then you may take it that these waves are visitors from some very distant part of the ocean, that they have traveled long and far before their final dissolution at your feet.
–From Rachel Carson’s The Sea Around Us (1951).
