It rained in TV.

At 6:00 there was a huge storm over Ocala and parts of Bellview. They can't pinpoint the exact spot where a storm will hit so I don't blame them for canceling, better safe than sorry and you could always go to one of the bars to listen to music on those off days.

Don't have a dog any more, but have put back the sign!

A quick aside…was the cancellation announced somehow?

I didn’t see it in TV App or in the Daily Sun push notifications.

Our sad reality. The US has more attorneys per capita than any other country. We also have more law suits. Cause and effect? Also, sad reality. People who have nothing do not get sued.

Told to remove the sign? Should there be an issue and you get sued. Your cost to defend it will be $300 an hour. ETHICS, RIGHT WRONG simply do not matter.

Time to move on and get a life - what would you think if the weather came true but did not cancel - you would complain about that!

A lot of people (everyone should) have lightning warnings on their phones. But no one carries their phones in the pool. They should have lightning warning systems at the pools-particularly sports pools which have large numbers of people in the pool.

We all have a lightning warning system. It’s called thunder.

We are all big boys & girls, the hand holding ended a longtime ago.

There are so many other things in this world to be concerned about and not having music one night is not one of them.......
