Florida Adopts Nation’s Toughest Restrictions On Protests : NPR

The law increases penalties for protesters who block roadways or deface public monuments. It creates a new crime, "mob intimidation." And it requires that anyone arrested at a protest be denied bail until their first court appearance, likely making for overnight jail stays. The law makes local officials in Florida liable to lawsuits from injured parties if they are found to have not done enough to respond to control violent protests. And it reacts to the "defund police" movement, allowing officials to appeal to the governor and his cabinet any decision by local officials to reduce funding to law enforcement.

The beautiful weather that started this morning, couldn’t last

The beautiful weather that started this morning, couldn’t last. But I’m hardly shocked about that point. I am continuing to monitor the weekend, and while Sunday doesn’t look great, Saturday looks like a bonus day. Definately want to get north to camp at least one night, maybe two or more if I go up on Friday night, and maybe stay over Sunday night if the weather isn’t too wet and work up in Spectulator.

Turkey On Old Route 8

While the automobile is long gone from this routing of Route 8, this wild turkey was strutting his way down the road. Didn't get a real good look at the turkey to see if it had a beard to determine if it was a tom or hen.
