I'm working on an article listing some of the best books about Jacksonville, in particular non-fiction. What are some of your favorites?
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Thanks!

My favorite part is when the author confidently suggests that Luke Joeckel will be the second coming of Tony Boselli.

Pretty hot take!

Agreed on Dr. Hurst's book! 

Ken, in your defense, a lot of NFL analysts rated that draft and that particular pick highly at the time.
