A PERSONAL TROPICAL DEPRESSION

WELCOME TO INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
WHERE NOTHIN EVER CHANGES AND WE LIKE IT THAT WAY!


There's a few things that Miss Vero's gin soaked brain just doesn't quite understand...

Like, how does a candidate with what seems like a gazillion very vocal supporters on every street corner waving signs come in dead last? (Kent Campbell with only 16% of the vote)

And, how can we ever take anyone serious named Duuurrrl? Oh never mind, he's got a gun.

And, what ever happened to that huge group of people that were gonna chase ole Gary Wheeler outa town?

Ya'll reckon they just took it out on Miss Sandra Bowden instead?

And will the run off between Miss Claudia Jimenez and Charlie Wilson be like a local production of "Inherit the Wind"? (and how do we get tickets?)

And finally who in the H.E. double toothpicks voted for Stan Mayfield? If there was ever a corruption, er, election that reeked of good ole boy politics, it was this one.

Should we be a conspiracy theorist? How do all of the PJ picks manage to get elected? Ahh, the most read newspaper on the treasure coast, and the only newspaper on the treasure coast.
Move over Russ, looks like we'll have the humble pie today.



A Sincere Thank You...
... is in order, for the wonderful and kind words from Captain Bill McMullen, who sent Miss Vero a very personal e mail expressing his thanks for what little support we gave him.

And now, to cure our election depression, we must drink many cocktails and go shopping, although not in that order.

MWAH!

THE FOURTH OF CLEVER - SEBASTIAN, FL

This was a big day in Sebastian...

where a patriotic flyover started the morning...


and patriotic floats set the mood...


to remember those that fight for freedom...


and continue to believe...


that we can pursue our dreams...

with liberty and justice for all...

that we should be kind...


and preserve the past while nurturing the future...

HEY,WAIT A MINUTE !

ISN'T THIS MISS VERO'S BEACH HOUSE?!

LET'S TRY THOSE CAPTIONS AGAIN...



Ok kids, what in the heck is going on with Jeffery Barton's pants?


And since David Snell always comes in last,

we thought we might feature him first for a change...


and Ed Glaser was freakishly not perspiring...


and there seems to be a write in candidate for Sheriff...


Kent Campbell's crew took up half the parade,
but had some really cool recycled floats...


Anthony Consalo was better looking than his picture...


Deryl Loar tried to look like his car...






But Bill McMullen is still a sweetie pie.


Cool cars...


but Gene Billero was even cooler...


The Sebastian River High School marching band...


always makes for a great parade...




Wesley Davis, once again, wins the wet dress shirt contest...



just as sure as a Shriner has a little car...





and don't mess with this guy...


if you're a skeeter...


An old polished beauty...


and Sandra Bowden.



Cute chiropractor Dr. Matt...

and his big daddy Gary Parris...



Babies gettin ready to be kissed...



by Carole Jean Jordan...


but since she's running for two offices,
she might as well get two pictures...


and besides, she brought her own bass playin brother
to rock us through the morning...



There was Honey...




and Bea...

Kay Clem lookin surprised...


Colman Stewart, rightly lookin suspicious of us...



and Cathy Hart just lookin good...


Bob Solari ran too far ahead of his group...



and Gary Wheeler was wisely put in the passenger seat,
because the one time they put him in the back, the car popped a wheelie...



Wesley finally found a way to cool off...



and the message is "Heritage, Not Hate"
Besides these ole Confederate folks are just plain cute...
(and hopefully harmless)

and we were luvin us some Dixieland in the park...



and happy to see young people doing good work...

and fixin to get some good food...


while everybody had a great time.

But when we went lookin for our ole pal Russ, he was no where to be found...


Miss Vero sure hoped y'all had a good time perusin the pictures,
Happy 4th!

MWAH!
