  3. My Word: Enough 'if onlys' — get a handle on now

    We humans love to wish. To dream. "If only" starts many of our personal stories. We seem to live in a state just above, below or juxtaposed to where we actually are. Our brains place us in another state of being that isn't our actual lives. An imaginary...

  5. Florida Legislature OKs $50M for cross-Florida trail

    According to <a href="http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Fla-lawmakers-agree-to-50-million-for-trail/-/1637132/19832042/-/ew7sylz/-/index.html" target="_blank">news reports</a>, Florida legislators have agreed to allocate $50 million to buy right of way to connect scattered trails to create a 275-mile trail network that would span the state from St. Petersburg to Titusville. The $50 million still could be vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott, but I suspect the prospect of job creation might overcome any qualms. According to the <a href="http://community.railstotrails.org/blogs/trailblog/archive/2013/04/22/florida-s-50-million-a-savvy-investment-in-the-state.aspx" target="_blank">Rails-to-Trails Conservancy</a>, Americans spend $81 billion a year on bicycling gear and trips versus $51 billion for airplane tickets and fees. Any lawmakers who have cycled the <a href="http://apps.ocfl.net/images/maps/WOT_TrailMap.pdf" target="_blank">West Orange Trail </a>could only be impressed by the revival of Winter Garden's historic downtown, which now thrives with restaurants, a coffee shop, bike rentals, a farmers' market and more. The former <a href="http://www.taplines.net/March/obstory1.htm" target="_blank">Orange Belt Railway</a> from Sanford to St. Petersburg would likely be a main right of way for much of the trail system. It already is incorporated into the <a href="http://www.lakecountyfl.gov/pdfs/economic_development_tourism/SouthLakeTrail_Map_EDT_web.pdf" target="_blank">South Lake Trail</a>, <a href="http://www.seminolecountyfl.gov/parksrec/trails_streetscapes/trails_semwekiva.aspx" target="_blank">Seminole Wekiva Trail</a>, <a href="http://apps.ocfl.net/images/maps/WOT_TrailMap.pdf" target="_blank">West Orange Trail</a> and <a href="http://www.pinellascounty.org/trailgd/" target="_blank">Pinellas Trail</a>. A new segment would likely connect the Maitland end of the Seminole Wekiva Trail to the Ocoee part of the West Orange Trail -- the little-used tracks are still there. Another long segment would likely connect the Clermont end of the South Lake Trail to the Tarpon Springs end of the Pinellas Trail. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/palmateer/6175572394/in/set-72157629462181406/" target="_blank">Again, the rail right of way is still evident along much of the route</a>. It runs west through Groveland, Mascotte, Bay Lake and Stuckey, intersects the <a href="http://www.floridastateparks.org/vanfleet/" target="_blank">Van Fleet Trail </a>and <a href="http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/guide/regions/crossflorida/trails/with_state.htm" target="_blank">Withlacoochee State Trail</a>, then goes through tiny Trilby, San Antonio and Odessa and intersects&nbsp; the <a href="http://www.pascocountyfl.net/index.aspx?NID=673" target="_blank">Suncoast Trail</a> before reaching Tarpon Springs.
