Brian Kemp of Georgia is just as bad as DeSantis. Hopefully they both find themselves out on their ass in the next election.

There are some beautiful areas that are still relatively unspoiled, but won't be for long. Changed dramatically in last 50 years and while there is money to be made, will just keep getting covered in asphalt.

I loved living in Ponce Inlet, but do not miss the piggers.
What a shame
