This may sound politically incorrect, but I am so pleased to have Christmas behind me. It's just been one of those years where there really was little time to enjoy the holidays. It's so easy to shop for little kids, but not so easy for teenagers. It's not a lot of fun fighting the crowds looking for the so-called "bargains," meaning cheap stuff that comes across as obligatory when it's unwrapped and likely won't ever be held with affection.
EDGEWATER -- A tanker truck carrying diesel fuel veered off Interstate 95, just south of Edgewater on Sunday afternoon, forcing the Florida Highway Patrol to shut down a brief stretch of the inside lane heading north, which snarled traffic.
