And it finally did! The sun peeked out of the clouds Wednesday evening after several days of what seemed like non-stop rain. Local weather forecasters estimate that 12 inches of rain fell on Marco, and six to eight inches was just on Wednesday! naouillette@marcoeagle.com (NADINE OUILLETTE)Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:46:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/jul/17/editorial-rain-marco/?partner=RSSopinion/editorialshttp://marconews.com/news/2008/jul/11/editorial-whom-bridge-tolls/?partner=RSSOn a recent weekend, a friend and I decided to take a nice Sunday drive to Sanibel and Captiva Island. I hear their names quite frequently on the news, but having moved here just over a year ago, this was my first opportunity for a visit. bdgreen@marcoeagle.com (BILL GREEN)Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/jul/11/editorial-whom-bridge-tolls/?partner=RSSopinion/editorialshttp://marconews.com/news/2008/jun/11/guest-commentary-islanders-input-needed-fast-movin/?partner=RSSEvents are moving fast.

However, if someone cuts you off in traffic, there’s a good chance you might do just that. bdgreen@marcoeagle.com (BILL GREEN)Tue, 20 May 2008 04:01:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/may/20/editorial-dont-hit-and-run-owe-your-outrage/?partner=RSSopinion/editorialshttp://marconews.com/news/2008/may/01/editorial-time-after-time/?partner=RSSI’m no good at goodbyes. While it’s partly because my well-disguised social awkwardness tends to creep out at times like these, it is also for another reason. I believe that, no matter what, in some capacity, and somewhere down the line, we’ll see each other again. This is no different.

It saddens me deeply at the same time it awakens me from my lingering — although involuntary — indifference towards world happenings.

We believe voters’ intent was for a little less development and a little more space around there.
