Before we can buy a new place we have to sell ours. We finally got the for sale sign up this weekend. We have to have custom made signs displayed in our neighborhood and Jerry’s printer was having a tough time getting it done. But it is now up and Jerry already got a call from someone who saw the sign. So that’s progress. If you know someone who wants to move to Destin have them check out our listing.

It’s hard to believe but schools are already starting in some places this week with many more starting next week. That will definitely help our traffic situation. Last week was hit or miss going home. One day it was slow but the next day I was home almost at my normal time. You just never know.
A possible new condo was announced this past week. They are looking to build it on the north side of 98 by the Destin bridge. Of course all of the NIMBY types came out of the woodwork complaining about it. Personally I would rather not see another tower going up either but reading about people saying they have lived here for 7 years and are moving because they can’t stand the traffic cracks me up. 7 years ago, 17 years ago and even before that the traffic was bad in the summer. That’s just the way it has been and will be. We live on an island for crying out loud. And yes, move if you don’t like it because it’s not going to change.
This past week Sunshine Cindy and I went to Tailfins on Friday after we looked at those houses. It was a perfect day on the harbor. Wayne came and joined us too. We then went to Harry T’s and AJ’s before heading home. It was a fun evening.
Saturday we took Tiffany to AJ’s Oyster Shanty on the island. BT was playing. Wayne was there too as he lives just down the street. We had a fun time. BT always does a great show and keeps the audience engaged. After he finished we went to Tailfins for dinner. Right as we got there a rain shower cooled everything down for a while. Of course then it got hot and steamy. We enjoyed a good meal then headed home.
On Sunday Sunshine Cindy and I ran a few errands then decided we would stop at Landshark Pizza. We got there about 2 but found out they weren’t opening till 3. So we walked over to the Red Door saloon for a few beers before going back to Landshark. The Red Door was busy with their usual mix of bikers, tourist and fish heads. It is an unusual mix of customers to say the least. We watched as a biker guy hand feed a squirrel french fries. You never know what you will see there.
When we got to Landshark Brian and Glen were there. We talked to them for a few minutes that we grabbed a couple bar stools and ordered a pizza. We wanted a thin crust one and I have to say it was the best pizza we have ever got at Landshark. I’m not sure who was making the pizza’s but this was a perfect thin crust pizza. Bruce and his girlfriend came in and talked to us and then a couple that we have seen around town a lot sat next to us. I can’t remember their names but they are nice. We ended up talking to them till we were both ready to leave.
Before we left the house on Sunday I decided to trim some bushes in our back yard. I got quite a surprise with one of bushes I trimmed. After a couple whacks a swarm of wasps came flying out. I got away from them and didn’t get stung. But I did empty a can of wasp and hornet spay on the bush. I will get another one to empty on it soon before I go back to try to finish the trimming.
Have a great week. See ya next Monday!
Destin Steve
