After the organic matter has been consumed, the cleaned water is returned to Lake Michigan and the resulting material is dried and marketed as Milorganite."

Great, informative post. Kudos!

Have you ever driven back in behind Big Cypress rec center you enter off of Powell road. It is the most disgusting thing you've ever seen. I can't believe people have to live in that squalor. They literally have garbage trash stacked to the point of no return to their trailer houses. There is barely a visible path to these houses some don't have Windows doors it is unbelievable that the health department doesn't condemn this whole area

But, be wary because allergies seem to increase with age.

I had bad pollen allergies starting when I was around 5 years old, so bad my eyes would swell almost completely closed and I could hardly breath. I was given what was available back in the very early 50's to help but what they gave me usually made me very tired. As time went on I used over the counter meds such as Contact which worked very well. As I got older the symptoms gradually disappeared and now at 74 pollen does not bother me, I haven't taken meds for it in years so it doesn't always get worse when you get older.

Thanks, children tend to have allergies. As to older retired people, I wonder if there is a pattern? Maybe people move south as they retire and run into MORE pollen and DEVELOP pollen allergies? I have heard that people are having more immune system problems and that may (?) be related to our aging population?

It is choice. I look at my garden and see flowers, fruit etc. Other see only weeds.

How could you choose not to go if you didn't know there was dirt and dust there before you went? Not everyone making a negative comment is coming from a glass-half-empty frame of mind.

Super spreader event? I love that ridiculous terminology, as though you can hide from a virus. Sooner or later everyone in this country will be exposed to this virus, just like you are the cold virus or the flu virus. Except in this case the media and other supposed Government experts, have turned otherwise intelligent people into bumbling idiots with their faces covered maybe for the rest of their lives?

Yeah we’ve heard that a hundred times this past year about anything with a crowd held here at TVs and nothing has become of their hysteria...but you know they still love throwing it out there....Like them following the science...haha

Installed sewage, street lights, curbs and streets, it was probably a 9 month project and I drove 466A west almost every day and that a dust cloud for sure.

Those who lived directly behind in St. James and Tamarind Grove and across 466A in Pinellas suffered the worse. I'm a 1/2 mile away and I couldn't keep my car clean all that time. I couldn't wait until that was done and Lowes opened. The home in the right corner are in St. James.

Wildwood Rising - Lake & Sumter STYLE

I feel bad for my neighbor(s), whose backyards back up to Lowes, and now the new apartment complex being built. The CONSTANT noise of nail guns for 10hrs a day?! We can hear it from our front stoop, and we're down the street. I can't imagine having that right outside your house?! Good times!

If TV was building over there all of the homes would have been completed by now. They have started and completed at least 6 villages since that began.

I disagree with every sentence there. I find that "super spreader event" to be a nice descriptive terminology for an event (often in Fl.) where people ignore social distance and ignore mask-wearing. Many fine productive American citizens have died from contracting CV at such an event, like the one held yesterday. And those attending such an event may have KILLED themselves and, who knows how many others. That those unrealistic attitudes are WRONG can be proven by the world statistics where the US has the most (# 1) CV infection and has had the worst response to the CV Pandemic. There PROVEN wrong! The other sentence about CV being comparable to the flu and colds is a laughable comparison - it's like comparing a monster truck to a go-cart or a bicycle.
