We drove up the coast for 10 days visiting Melbourne, St. Augustine, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and the Outer Banks.

If you go to Blacksburg, drop me a line and I'll give you some tips about food, music, sights, etc.

Sounds like a great deal.

I love the drive from Ormond Beach to St Augustine on 1A.

We play Tech at home this year so maybe next year I'll be in Blacksburg. I have never been there in spite of having had a customer in town.

Personally, I love Disney World, I am not staying away. Also my kid will be playing in Miami and Tallahassee every other year.

Virginia Tech too.

I love Florida, but I'm a Gulf Coast kinda guy. I have friends that live in Dunedin. Atlantic coast is just too crowded and touristy. I hate amusement parks, so forget Central, there is nothing there for me. Haven't made it south to Miami or the Keys.......yet.

Good. I can't wait for the screaming weenie's from the NRA to start foaming at the mouth...travelogue notwithstanding.

The Keys are the best and only part of the state I would be interested in seeing again. Key West is fun. I highly recommend the drive, Dave. When you lose sight of land in both directions on that bridge? It's eerie.

Losing sight of land is never "eerie". It's beautiful.

Agreed but when you're in a car it's a bit strange. Love the ocean, the deeper blue the better.

No, it wasn't ok to kill him for being black, and he wasn't killed for being black. The FBI declared race had nothing to do with it.

And this is the DOJ -- appropriately -- doing it's job.

Their investigation was actually initiated prior to the state-level filings but was suspended in order to stay out of the prosecution's way. (At the time, it appeared there may not be prosecution of any kind from local authorities.)

Now?

DOJ is merely completing prior work.

Yessir. I hope Holder drops the hammer on him. The kid had civil rights, too. That were taken from him in the most prejudicial of ways-a bullet through his heart for nothing more than walking with more melanin in his skin by a scared punk assed son of a judge.
