GREAT BREAKFAST SPOT

OK, most everybody already probably knows, but the WPBeach Municipal golf course has a great breakfast.
Super scrambled eggs, french toast and home fries have been reported after several recent Saturday AM visits by the Churchillian staff, including the editor.

The big windows give diners a big view of the course, which once drew the likes of Arnold Palmer and a young Jack Nicklaus. This was back in the days when the PGA golfers would travel to games in their station wagons and stay in nearby hotels.
The city is thinking of remodeling the course next to Forest Hill Community High School, but a tight budget year makes that unlikely this year -- or next.
The plan is to knock down the clubhouse and build a new one. Also, change the entrance from Parker Ave., and move it east to Lake Ave.

There is also a bar, over looking the practice green.
The Churchillian is planning an afternoon research mission soon to the bar.
Stay tuned for a update.

A SUNNY OUTLOOK

Predicting the unpredictable weather in South Florida doesn't scare Mark "Partly Cloudy" Brinkman.

Churchill Road's second most popular meteorologist bravely weighed in Sunday with his Tropical Outlook for the remainder of the 2007 Hurricane Season.

His forecast -- just in time for the peak of the season Sept. 10 - is no hurricanes will strike the U.S. coast. None. Zippo.

Mark is thrilled at another no-storm season. But he did admit to one regret.

"I won't be able to lie down in the middle of Dixie Highway during a blackout," he said. "At least not this year."

HAPPY PARTY, BAD GAME

Once again, the Brinkmans make having a great party look easy.
About two dozen Miami Dolphins fans turned out for Sunday's opener.
But the fish fizzled out in overtime, losing an exciting game to the Washington Redskins.

Bonnie's blog

Young Bonnie is striking out on her own with a blog.

Called Ms Giggles, it chronicles the life of a preteen middle schooler. You can find her blog at http://www.gigillygiggles.blogspot.com/

We'll add a link to it in the neighborhood links column on the right.

Today's entry: Going to the emergency room and meeting a cute guy.

DING, DONG THE DUMPSTER'S GONE!!!

Churchillians all remember the big, bad Dumpster next to Fruita Fresca.
Jammed with wooden boxes, old vegetables and who knows what else, the thing has been there way too long.
Quietly, it has vanished, hopefully for good.

Susan and Darren and Briana

Darren and Susan checked in from North Carolina.

It was great to hear from them. (They were bummed to miss another Brinkman Churchill party!)

They have a pretty new house AND a new blog. Here's the link to gray-waters.blogspot.com

Susan reports that she loves her new hometown. She also has an update on Elmer, who used to live in the pink house across the street from her.

She gives a big shout-out to her Churchill nabes.

Susan, We'll add a link to your blog to our neighborhood links list on the right. Because - no matter how far you roam - you and Darren and Briana will always be Churchillians.

SEASON OPENER PARTY AT BRINKMAN'S

Churchillians are invited to a Sunday afternoon football party to watch the Miami Dolphins hammer the Washington Redskins.
Festivities start around noon. Another expert grilling performance is planned by Mark.
Side dishes are welcome.

ANCHORS, ER, TOILETS, AWAY!!!

What would Capt. Nemo say?
Like his biggest fan on Churchill Road, the bearded Capt. in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was known as an innovator.

But toilets, like nuclear submarines named "Nautilus", don't last forever.

The bronze toilet that once graced Barry's "Nautilus" bathroom is gone.
But the memory of Nemo lives on with a new (circa 1970s) model.
