Officials were hoping the Walton County project would be completed by June 1, which is the official start of hurricane season. Hmmm, coincidently it's also the beginning of tourist season.

I was recently snorkeling in the Keys and saw several sea turtles. Go to Hawaii and they are all over the place. It is hardly as if the sea turtle is about to disappear.

I hope somebody took it home, butchered it and cooked it up. Use the carapace, too!
