My understanding is that homeowner is at NAS JAX, possibly a navy pilot, as Nader over at Pinegrove mentioned that the gentleman has just moved into the house in the last month or so, and  had taken it over from "another pilot."  The house is very nice. It does sound like the burglar was there for a specific purpose rather than a smash and grab. Not a great way to welcome someone to the neighborhood . . .

This common practice with military aircrew...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Different hospitals specialize in different things, regardless of their level of care in other areas. Shands is by far the best trauma center in this part of the state and will always have someone on staff.

BTW, it goes to show you that the easy access to a number of hospitals with different specialties is one of the many good reasons to live in the urban core. If you were in, for instance, a "safe" neighborhood like Julington Creek, it would take you over 20 minutes to get to the only hospital remotely nearby, as I recently learned the hard way.
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?

My understanding from some of the local realtors (plug Prudential Network Realty) is that the pilot is a renter, not his name on the records in real estate. Regardless, apparently the pilot surprised the intruder, who was trying to hot wire the pilot's motorcycle, when the pilot grabbed the intruder's arm as it was coming up with a gun and the gun went off.

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda, had the pilot not grabbed the hand of the intruder, the gun may not have gone off. But you never know.

The wife and I were at 'Town Sunday for brunch and we heard from John, the day manager, that another shooting took place in Boone Park Saturday. Anyone else hear the same?

Avondale is sorta the wild west all of a sudden.
