If I was home, I would. However I am stationed in Cuba right now. I think a letter is all I might be able to do from here, but you never know, that is why I ask.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
The irrelevant posts were moved to the Fill Station.
folks, the debate is really heating up, and the opposition is pulling all strings to keep Wakulla to themselves. There will be a huge number of vocal opponents, having being told that cave divers will destroy Wakulla.
if you can, somehow, make it to the meeting, please do! Bring anyone you can hold of, this is a show of strength.
We have negotiated with the Best Western to support our event. See http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwest...ertyCode=10361
... Tell them you are part of the Wakulla County Dive Club initiative to open Wakulla to Diving. The manager offered a special rate.
If you can make it, the Wakulla County Dive club organises a pre-meeting on the 19th at 5 pm at the Wakulla Dive Center (http://www.wakulladiving.com/). Food will be available, sponsored by the club, Wakulla Dive Center and Rebreather Solutions.
Bring warm clothes,but leave your emotions behind.
Spread the word!

General observations from way over in Texas...
The Friends of Wakulla springs Facebook page is completely dominated by Sue Cook. One person is making so much noise, its amazing. She's so pent up, she needs a scuba lesson. If she could actually enjoy up close that part of the park she is so vocally intent to protect, she would understand why people LOVE the environment. Sad situation.
Be calm, be of one mind. Speak carefully, and dont come across like this poor lady who obviously cares about something, but comes off as a ranting obsessed busy-body. If the divers are drawn into an emotional exchange, we will all lose the opportunity. It would be a good idea to have someone or several act as a spokesperson and prepare careful presentations and prepare responses to anticipated objections. I'm sure the agency heads are doing this now.
Treat it like court. 20 emotional divers returning emotional retorts will guarantee defeat. Not saying that everyone that wants to speak shouldn't get their chance, but lets face it, in every war, there is a time for warriors and a time for diplomats. Let the buldogs withdraw and bind their wounds (we love and appreciate you for getting us the opportunity) while cooler heads negotiate the tricky path ahead. Resist the urge to snap at ignorant statements by the opposition.
I vote for the Old Fat Guy.
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
I feel really bad, I thought the "F" stood for something else.
Me too! But you should be specific that you mean OFG-1.
Too many of us fit the generic old fat guy description.
Okay, I vote for the #1 Old Fat Guy.
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
