In Ennismore, Earl Treloar notes fall’s warm weather, but laments it isn’t as warm this year. David Parks from Fort Walton Beach praises the cool air and marks hunting season beginning.
Rain pours as a mover narrates a chaotic transition from home to college then to a new apartment. The narrator and Tina rely on a preacher’s van to haul belongings, sparking reflections on past moving ordeals and family duties.
A narrator and Tina relocate to a new Wena apartment in a flood of boxes and belongings. They juggle items from a mountain of possessions as rain stops, reflecting on past moves and vow to pare down next time. They finish exhausted yet pleased with their new living space.
A Letter to The Log argues for a full inquiry into why a dump truck was allowed onto the 331 bridge lifting span at Choctawhatchee Bay. The writer urges updated traffic controls, amber warnings, red signals, and a bridge supervisor on duty with the bridge tender to manage draw operations and safety.
Jim Grasswick argues the bridge should be managed by a dedicated authority with civil engineering and Coast Guard experience. He calls for mandatory pre voyage notices, weather based opening limits, and an emergency plan to prevent drownings during evacuations and unsafe openings.
