The result is stunning, but, well, then again…. that git r' done sensibility is locally known to live on Pine Island. Honc Marine is also a local company that knows how to git sh*t done. Put those two elements together, get the hell out of the way… and well, that's the result. There ain't no gender confusion, wokeness or cufflinks in this tribe.
….Additionally, Governor DeSantis announced yesterday that the contract to begin repairs to the Sanibel Causeway was awarded. Equipment was mobilized last night, and there is already a team on the ground to begin repairs. The repairs to the Sanibel Causeway are expected to be completed by the end of the month. (link)
Jumpin' ju-ju bones. If they can get roadway access to Sanibel completed within a month… that's beyond awesome.
And he is a fellow white nationalist like DeSantis, also an election denier who once paid for an abortion and is linked to Walker in Georgia. FBI is seeking a warrant.gonemaroon said:
