Looks like the non-toxic fallout from the big Apex EQ plant explosion is finally settling out. A federal judge gave the ok to a 7.8 million dollar settlement between EQ and those affected by the resulting evacuation. The Dolberries share of this fortune is expected to be a cool $750. Sheesh, I got out of a day of work ... I should be paying EQ.
Other stories from Apex lately have not been nearly as pleasant. This one (about 1 mile away) and this one (about 1/2 mile away) are unpleasant reminders about the transient quality of life.
On the brighter side, Forbes magazine voted Apex the third best place to move to in the U.S. Presumably, the voting closed before people started shooting and running over people.
Sarasota landed the Orioles for $31 million of public money ... to be funded by a tourism tax. Great ... so when Dolberry comes down for Spring Training he'll be taxed to see the team that replaced the team that he started coming down to see in the first place. I'm staying in Manatee county.
Things are ok w/ Dolberry and his affiliates. APD got scalped and is no worse the wear for it. tbKMD has been running a whole bunch and is also no worse the wear for it. This week Dolberry worked a five day week for the first time since the Taft administration and am the worse for wear. And I wore the worst.
It's time for softball to start.

Too bad Apex is catching up with the rest of the country in crazyness. Glad APD is doing well. Sorry you had to work 5 days this week--you need a vacation day!!! MOM
Life gets tedious er and tedious er! How can you expect to bear up under working five straight days when you have an extra $750. in the family coffers to spend ? Something about this is not right! Makes you want to hope the fallout continues! Ciao, BF
