POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
By LEE MARSH
Special to The Sun
Greetings, residents of Wakulla County. I am Judge Lee Marsh, and I am running for re-election as one of your circuit judges for the Second Judicial Circuit.
As a retired United States Navy Officer, I have dedicated my life to public service and to my community. I was born and raised just up the road in Tallahassee and graduated as Leon High School’s valedictorian. It was there that I met my wife of over 30 years, Karin.
After graduating with distinction from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Karin and I married and started our Navy adventure where I served on submarines. The Navy then sent me to law school where I got my law degree and became a career Navy judge advocate.

Many, many years ago, Ben Franklin proved lightning was electricity. Franklin and his son flew a kite into a violent storm with a key attached to the kite’s string while he held on.
Luckily only the key was charged by the high voltage strike. Today we know a lightning strike’s temperature is hotter than the sun’s surface. It is no wonder Franklin’s key glowed in the aftermath of the storm.
Keep that thought in mind as we answer my wife’s question asked after an unusually loud thunderclap. “What is that and what causes thunder? Is it dangerous?”
The Old Pro: It’s hot
By AL HARTMAN
Hot enough for you? It’s gonna’ get worse. I just can’t wait. The ticks this year are horrible. I pick five or six off me every day just being in the yard.
But here is the good news. Talk about hot, the scallops are in, and I have never seen them in so many numbers. A person can get their limit in no time at all.
The parking at the boat ramps is really nearly impossible. If you are going, get there early.
I thought I was early enough and found only three places left, and I had to hunt for them.
