Glad to see @mylkldelectric is offering rebates on a wide range of electric vehicles. When I got my Chevy Volt, only the Nissan Leaf was eligible for a rebate.
I just learned the city of Lakeland is about to ban bicycles from Oak Hill Cemetery. I often ride my bike from home to the cemetery to visit the graves of my two granddaughters. They are next to the entrance, so this doesn’t really affect me. Still, it’s angering.

Why do so many people say “backslash” when they’re reading web addresses? Those are forward slashes, aka slash.
VOTING: A reminder that today is the last day to register to vote or change party affiliation in order to participate in the March 17 presidential primary. In Florida, only members of a party can vote in that party’s primary. polkelections.com/2020-PPP – at Lakeland, FL
