Congratulations CW Jayson O. Lowery! And reassuring to hear your positive words about our new commander-in-chief. That might help calm the fears of some local doom-and-gloom purveyors. Keep up the good work for our country and its interests. You are in our prayers.
Topic: Okaloosa County and North Okaloosa Fire District at odds over lease agreement for new facility at Bob Sikes Airport.

Oh sure, now that the building is completed and the Fire District is doing what it's constituents want by consolidating, the County wants to step in and try and be the Big Boys and screw things up. That building was built for the fire department, leave them alone and let them move into their new home.

I took the gal who is now my wife of over 40 years to see a James Bond movie for one of our first dates. I can't recall its title because my mind was not entirely on the movie!
