The Sheriff’s Application
I was looking for a job yesterday. I looked on the Pinellas County Sheriff’s website. They have a few listings on there. I went to fill out the application, which I didn’t complete. One of the questions was: Please list your tattoos. That is a super inappropriate question. That isn’t something an employer should be asking. I don’t care who you are. What if I had the word Mom tattooed on my ass. Do they really need to know that? That’s what a job interview is for. It felt like they were taking my personal information to store in their profiling database or something. WTF is wrong with people? Who hurt these people who hire people?

4th of July Fireworks in Clearwater Cancelled!
Clearwater Beach has decided to cancel this years 4th of July fireworks as a preventative measure in the wake of the effects of Covid 19. You won’t have the breath-taking sights of the biggest firworks show in the county this year. Many visitors form the area will have to find other ways to celebrate the fourth. You can still get down to the beach and create a massive fireworks display of your own. Wouldn’t that be fun. Blow some shit up. ‘Merica. This action will hopefully prevent the further spread of this harmful virus.
Surf’s Up Surf Report; Monday the 20th
The beaches are still closed according to “upper management.”
Reopening Pinellas County Beaches Following Jacksonville Opening Theirs
I hope Pinellas County recognizes the move Duval County (Jacksonville) made to allow residents to exercise today on their beach. To prevent the increase in rates of heart disease we all need to be able to exercise, and since the Governor of the state is permitting “essential activities”, according to the Duval County website, it’s essential that Pinellas County be reopened to essential activies on our beaches. Surfing is not a crime. Duval Counties opened the Jax Pier and Mayport Poles to surfing today, and we should open Sand Key and Honeymoon Island. The curve has flattened. Reopen our beaches Pinellas.
Honeymoon Island(s)!!!!
It’s about to split! We don’t have much sand left in this little gap. What’s it going to take to open this pass? Are we just a few spring high tides away or will a tropical storm do the trick? Send in a few pictures if you’re there after it happens. We’re just weeks or maybe months away from the official split of the walking beach Honeymoon Island ranked among the best beaches in the country.
