It has been over one month since I have washed my hair with traditional shampoo and conditioners.
Since starting this no-poo lifestyle, as it is not-so-fondly called, I have eliminated every feature I used to hate about my hair. My hair is not frizzy, it’s not greasy and it’s not dirty. It’s clean, soft, shiny and healthy.

A proposed house bill that is meant to clear up language may indirectly affect tobacco smokers in Florida.
Walking down St. George Street you will see a sign that says it all: tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. One right turn, a walk down the hall and another left and you’ve arrived at the St. Augustine Tobacco Company. Inside, you’ll see another sign. This one is a flashing neon sign that reads: “Sign the petition to defeat new HB 211.”

Jerry Kass, 96, is a retired Marine and long time Jewish resident of St. Augustine. He first visited the city in 1930, moved there in 1937 and has lived across the street from Flagler College, then Ponce de León Hotel, ever since.
Kass’ house has a large front porch. The mat at the door has a picture of a dustpan and a broom that says Schmootz, and he has a banner nailed into the door frame that says Shalom. Kass spends most of his time sitting on this porch.
