You Can Not make this Up.

Posted on December 3, 2013 by admin

There are so many crazy things that have happened at The SunCoast Resort. The soda lines in the TiKi bar were cut one day. Later that week they were cut again. Owner Lester Wolf was very upset and had cameras installed. To everybody surprise the bad guys were not guys at all… They were squirrels chewing the lines. Lester was very upset and grabbed his riffle. Looking like Elmer Fudd he was hunting squirrels in the courtyard. The management went crazy and took his gun away. Lester returned with a squirrel cage to trap the animals. With a big smile while pounding his chest Lester returned with a caught squirrel. When asked what he was going to do with it he said “I’m going to toss the cage into the pool, OFCOURSE!!!” One of the employees over heard this and release the poor squirrel!!! Lester returned the next day and caught another squirrel. When asked what he was going to do with it today, Lester said “I’m taking it to a nice park and release it.” With that he put the cage into his Rolls Royce and drove off. I guess we will never know if the squirrel every made it to the “Nice Park?”

Having continued to construct his image and orchestrate the presentation of his work and his persona, Salvador Dalí is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century.

Week 8: The Tampa Citizen Police Academy

Posted on November 26, 2013 by admin

The Mark & Carrie Experience

Graduation

WOW did the 8 weeks of classes go by fast!!! We made great new friends and have a new respect for our Tampa Team Police Officers. We hope that you also enjoyed following our experiences in the Citizens Police Academy.

Tampa’s famed Chief of Police Jane Castor, District Majors, staff, students family & friends were all there for our Special Graduation Ceremony.

Thanks to the Columbia Restaurant who catered the graduation event with a special menu and a graduation cake. The newly appointed Citizen Police Officers and their families laughed at the classes videos the corporal made during our weekly seminars. Tazing, police car chases, shooting, SWAT team exercise and our ride alongs were in the often funny moments DVD.

To participate as 1 of 20 members in the next springs Citizen Police Academy contact Tampa Police downtown special events.
