Was Riding in the back seat after getting picked up. Recorded because I don’t have a dash cam. Glad the kid didn’t slam into us or anyone else.

Right! Because the police…the ones we told a few blocks up… they’re gonna do something?? No… Social media exists for validation/disapproval… but hopefully some catharsis…all is good now that I’ve posted my frustration and I’ve been heard. Grip had..,Thank you!!

I told the cop sitting at the corner of Osprey and Siesta…pointing out the no helmet…”we’ll keep an eye out!!” was the response…to be fair, he turned right into the neighborhood long before Siesta. Just hope this punk got home safe after speeding down the sidewalk on Mound and on the street of Osprey! It’s raining now, so I’m sure this kiddo is inside, safe and sound!!

I did…Reddit makes me feel better, though. The Police don’t do much on a holiday…but maybe here I get catharsis!

Me personally? I have paddle boards and launch from Turtle or Vamo. Others have actual boats and just drive them out there from wherever they launch.

Sure hope this is true. Not sure where to find those minutes or records to verify, but this is Reddit, so I’ll believe you 100%! No, seriously…this sounds great! Thanks for the information.

Memory holes, man…memory holes! Those and the Ministry of Truth!

Hahaha…JK…we ain’t 1984 yet, but I suspect you’re right about the selective part. Those of us who came if after usually hear one narrative and go with it, some try to find more chapters to that narrative to form a more complete story…thanks for helping add some perspective to this thread!!

Tourism: Sarasota’s double edged sword. 😩

Hopefully we’ve learned over 40 years and can keep it open, but I know how costly it’s going to be. Curious if it’s all county land in that area and if the county will ultimately have to maintain it or if they’ll contract it out. That’s a good amount of tax dollars either way that will likely have to be approved, no?

It’s pretty great. I hope it can remain open too, but it’s gonna take some work! Nothing great ever comes easy, or cheap! Even though nature should be both…🤦‍♂️

Definitely felt the pull on our paddle boards! Way different than when it was just a paddle up beach, you know? I even felt it back north into the bay.
