Everything went well at the Boeing Championship. Heck, Bobby Wadkins even set a new competitive course record of nine-under-par 62 on the Raven course.
But what a #@%&* mess trying to get home!!!
It took me 2 hours and 20 minutes to motor from the main exit at Sandestin to Fort Walton Beach!! And that was after cutting to Destin's back roads at Walmartto the Destin Bridge with nothing moving ahead on 98 !
That is inexcusable! And the fault of the Okaloosa County and Walton County Commissions, the Florida DOT, the Destin City Council, every single one of our elected state officials – and those developers who built, built, built without any regard for the need for infrastructure!!!!
Oh, yeah…and whoever is in charge of the construction on Okaloosa Island! With traffic inching (actually, mostly stopped and idling) all the way from Seascape on Hwy 98 westward, that idiot went ahead and closed one westbound lane on the island!!!!
They all oughta be lined up, flogged and put in the stocks for a couple of days right in the Hwy 98 median!!!!
When you get crap like that happening – a 20 mile traffic jam – it's time for the respective sheriff departments to get off their butts and try and unjam the traffic!!
You can bet your butt that tomorrow, it'll be up over the Mid-Bay Bridge for me to go "homeward bound!!!" Even doing that, it'll take me at least 30 to 40 minutes just to get to the bridge access road!
The tournament move to Sandestin Raven was a great one for the golf. And okay IF you live at Sandestin. For those of us who have to travel back and forth from FWB every day, it's that #@&%$ mess!!!
