There are certain situations that seem to bring time to a stop, and I don’t mean in a "wow this is kiss is intense and I hope it lasts forever" kind of way.

It’s amazing that nature can spawn a storm that seemingly has a personal grudge against Florida. Fay seems determined to drench every square inch of Florida in it’s rains. Or maybe, our sunny peninsula put in a personal request to big momma Nature to help ease the drought we have been in here in the south for the past couple of years and this is Mom’s way of saying, “yeah, I got the message.”

The most important thing when going to get a haircut is consistency. I have been going to a Supercuts close to my house for the past couple of years. There’s a lady there who usually cuts my hair, and when she is busy I try to wait for her (when time permits).

But the regular girl is consistent. She has left some uneven lines, cut it a little too short or left it a little too long, but she has never botched my head. Two days ago I went to my Supercuts and asked for a haircut.

Every state should have a seat of government to be proud of. Florida’s Capitol Complex in Tallahassee (when we last visited Spain several people were under the impression that Miami is the Capitol of Florida and for better or worse this is not the case) fits the bill. Combining the grace and grandeur of the old south with the angles of modern architecture, Florida’s Capitol surely competes with even the most elegant of state structures.
