Notably: The Flagler Beach City Commission is never quite dull and generally for better reasons than other local governments: there’s a bit less controversy, a lot less ideology and more work gets done there, but it was even cheerier when Suzie Johnston was mayor. These days she’s chairing the city’s planning board alongside other alums of local boards: Barbara Revels, who was a county commissioner for eight years, and Rick Belhumeur, a city commissioner for nine. Johnston is 45 today. Let’s hope someone at today’s meeting of the Planning Board thought of baking her a cake.

“I sat down in a booth, and the waitress shoved a menu in front of me. There wasn’t anything on it that sounded good, and anyway, one look at her and my stomach had turned flip-flops. I don’t know why it is, by God, but I can tell you how it is. Every goddamned restaurant I go to, it’s always the same way… They’ll have some old bag on the payroll-I figure they keep her locked up in the mop closet until they see me coming. And they’ll doll her up in the dirtiest goddamned apron they can find and smear that crappy red polish all over her finger-nails, and everything about her is smeary and sloppy and smelly. And she’s the dame that always waits on me. I’m not kidding, brother. It’s that way wherever I go.
–From Jim Thompson, A Hell of a Woman (1954).
