Speak Out – May 25, 2013

Wednesday – 6:19 p.m.

             This is regarding the letter in Wednesday's paper from Joyce, concerning our county commissioners and where the courthouse should be. I think before we build a courthouse anywhere, we should be positively positive of who owns the property where it's going to be built.

            And another thing, if you want something to worry about, you need to call your school board members, and ask them if Santa Rosa County schools are practicing the common core. Just ask if that is the curriculum that's being taught in our schools. I think you'd be surprised to find out what the common core is.

Thursday – 3:25 p.m.

            Yes, this is Chet. One of the things that I've noticed lately that is getting to be real frustrating is trying to order a meal over the phone to the many restaurants here in Milton and Pace.

            The food's usually pretty good, but you have to repeat yourself over and over and over. And many times when you get home, the order's not right. Except for one or two of the other restaurants. I've noticed that I can talk fast as I want to, to a Chinese restaurant, and they don't even speak the language that good, but they never mess it up and you never have to repeat yourself.

            I kind of want to know why that is. Are we Santa "slows-a" County? Is that it? Thank you.
