Jordan is politically connected So, if you saw Carole Jean Jordan riding with David Nolte like few others in this area. She is in the parade, you might assume she is endorsing him in the endorsing other candidates in the August primary – she’s backing Erin highly competitive race for Property Appraiser. Not so. Grall (State Rep), Debbie Mayfield Russ Lemmon “I’m not endorsing in that race,” she said. “I have friends (State Senate) and Tiffany Justice (School Board) – but she is staying on both sides.” Jordan, the Tax Collector, was unopposed in her away from the Property Appraiser’s race. She said she would be willing to do the same type of reelection bid. She is considered one of the most influential favor for Davis that she did for Nolte. Republicans in Indian River County.

watch. So many storylines. So I’m pulling into Peterson Groves on 66th Avenue and I see a sign that says, “Lychees are here.” My reaction? “What’s a lychee?” I posed that question to Carol, who works there part-time, and she offered a sample. You have to peel it, but it tastes pretty good. It’s definitely different … but in a good way. Lychees. You learn something new every day! Just want to give a shout-out to Dan Lamson for lending a helping hand with the weekly email I send to more than 800 people. Some people were having difficulty with the link within, and Dan’s suggestion helped fix the problem. The Vero World Bazaar & Antique Mall (U.S. 1 just north of Oslo Road) has been closed since July 8. It looks like it might be down for the count. The aforementioned Carole Jean Jordan has attended many Republican National Conventions in the past, but she won’t be in Cleveland this week. She decided a few days

before she was to leave. Her hotel room was already booked. Some prominent names are skipping the convention because Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee, but Jordan said that’s not the reason for her absence. “I’ve got too much going on,” she said. David Nolte ordered a bunch of new campaign signs for the Property Appraiser’s race. He hasn’t had to do that for years and years. The new signs have the same “vintage” look as the signs he first used in 1980. Quite unexpectedly, I crossed paths with Wesley Davis recently at Walmart. He made me laugh with his strategy in the Property Appraiser’s race: “The best time to campaign is right after church on Sunday at Sam’s Club.” He said he went there to pick up a few items after church one Sunday and, because of all the well-wishers who stopped him, it took him 90 minutes to make his way back to the car.

Top 500 countdown
Fun facts
Russ Lemmon, who loves music (and lists), spent a lot of time putting together his Top 500 favorite songs of all-time. For the next few years, Lemmon Lines will be counting ‘em down.
Since Sept. 15, 2014, the Indian River County Tax Collector’s Office has processed more than 4,100 applications for a concealed-weapon license.
224. “Love is Alive” (1976) Gary Wright Memory: Instead of playing “air guitar” for this song, it was my first attempt at “air keyboard.”
Between those applications and the 600-plus renewals, the county has collected nearly $100,000 in related fees.
223. “It’s So Easy” (1977) Linda Ronstadt Memory: While the original version (in 1958) failed to make the charts, she turned it into a Top 5 hit. 222. “I Melt with You” (1982) Modern English Memory: A song I instantly associate with the early 1980s. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com
