  • ‘No’ is best way to kill off a business

    Customer service is so important to each and every business. If the service is great, your customers will keep coming back. If it is poor, they simply will not.

  • It’s ‘red October’ for the fishin’ this month

    Well, hello again, folks. Due to gale force winds and lots of rain over the last few weeks, we didn't do much fishing. So last week when it became time to think of something to report or chat about for the column.

    Well let's just say for a man like me I was a li’l frustrated and was having a problem thinking of anything nice to say or write.

    But hopefully we are done with that li’l cycle for now at least so we can enjoy some of Cedar Keys great fall fishing.

    It was early morning a couple or so days back. It was cool, crisp and dry. The sun had not yet shown.

    Dawn was near. A bright planet was in the western sky setting ever so slowly, Jupiter I believe. The sky was clear of clouds, the stars remaining were dimming.
