Talking head
Our green friend is getting a little perturbed at all the attention you-know-who is getting. So in order to smooth ruffled feathers, here you go, The Talking Head himself, er, herself!

Spring Break continued
Further developments in the Spring Break capital of the world.
Local headlines courtesy of WJHG News Station 7. "One drowned and five others rescued from the Gulf in a one-hour time frame Tuesday afternoon". Swimmer dies after being caught in a riptide. A bunch of drunk college students went swimming off of La Vela nightclub. One couldn't make it back into shore. Listen up, people, those flags are flying for a reason and not just because they're pretty waving in the breeze. ONE red flag means that you are risking your life to go past your ankles. TWO red flags mean go out there and you will die. Moral of the story: We cannot protect people from themselves.
and heard from the horse's mouth:
A nationally syndicated show who match people up for a blind date refuses to come here because the college students are "too intoxicated" to put in a limo and driven to the zoo for their date. Insurance companies scream about things like this because of problems in the past. Moral of the story: These are our future leaders?
and restaurants get in the act:
Hammerhead Fred's a well known local restaurant sponsors a wet t-shirt contest out in their Spring Break tent. The announcers are three men in their late 30s' and they encourage female contestants to take off their wet t-shirts and have their nipples fondled by others in the crowd, male and female. These are 17 to 23 yr old girls. Moral of the story: How are they going to feel when THEIR daughter gets hold of this information and 17 years from now she wants to go on Spring Break?
and I'm sure there is more to come!
First a little background information: The city has adopted a new flag warning system at some cost because the basic flag warning system (green-swim, yellow=swim with caution, red=don't swim) wasn't working. We still had people drowning in a rough sea. So the new flag warning system, including signs placed all over the beach and in hotels, is:
Two red flags - Water closed to public (should be read as THIS MEANS YOU!!)
One red flag - High Hazard (high surf and strong currents)
Orange flag - Medium Hazard (moderate surf and/or currents)
Green flag - Low Hazard ( Calm conditions, exercise caution)
Purple flag - Dangerous Marine Life (should be read as SHARK!!)
