I Want To Live Here

I want to retire here. That is if I am ever able to retire which is doubtful. Surrounded by water, sun and no room for kids or pets. Bliss.......

Did you watch the VP Debate Thursday night. I have not commented on it yet because I taped it and I have not made it thru the whole thing yet. I am close, I think I have about 20 minutes left. I keep rewinding and going back to see if I heard things like I think I did. It is interesting to read and listen to the news and commentary to hear what all the people with credentials think about who won.

So Napa

I had a chance to grab a glass of wine and a salad at the new restaurant in the Publix plaza beachside this week. So Napa! opened not to long ago and features a wine membership that allows you to purchase wine at a significant discount. As a bonus the food was fresh and delicious.

They are open Sun-Wed from 1130am-10pm and 1130am-11pm on Thu, then on Fri & Sat 1130am-2pm. You can access a great deal of information including menu and wine selection on their website.

Support local business whenever possible!

Register to Vote at the OM Bar-Special Event

Voter Registration Drive

Come on out to the OM Bar tonight for a a special nonpartisan event. Starting at 7PM they will be viewing the HBO Documentary "Hacking Democracy". This cautionary documentary exposes the vulnerability of computers - which count approximately 80% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections - suggesting that if our votes aren't safe, then our democracy isn't safe either.

Then at 9PM they will be airing the Vice Presidential Debates on the big screens. Plus, volunteers from Florida for Change will be on site doing voter registration and address changes.

OM Bar is providing a complimentary draft beer or glass of wine to everyone who registers tonight or updates their address information.

This is a great opportunity to get informed about our candidates and engage in lively conversations with friends on both sides of the aisle. Your vote counts, but only if you vote!

The OM Bar is located on Flagler Ave, New Smyrna Beach.
