Admit it...if the JTA had hovercrafts running at 65 - 70 mph on the St. John's River between downtown and various Park and Hovers ( ;D ) you'd consider it?  You could get from OP to downtown in 8 minutes.  Wouldn't you want to take one of these to work?

This model is a little more expesive I think; however, it looks like it could take a few more people.  Maybe the supervisors could you the smaller ones.  I wonder which one goes faster?

FMV has placed the order for hovercraft with the British firm Griffon Hovercraft. The hovercraft are intended for the transportation of people and equipment, regardless of water depth and icing conditions. These bad boys can carry 50 people and go 45 MPH.

Hey you guys, this one looks the coolest of all.  I bet if we put the skyway cars up on eBay, we'd get enough to pay for more then a couple of dozen of these things.  We could have JTA running these things all over town.  They go over anything flat!

"One female phorid fly usually contains a hundred or more torpedo-shaped eggs, so she can make multiple attacks," says Porter. Porter released thousands of the tiny flies in July 1997 in Gainesville. Since then, he's released them in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Alabama....................................

Went to a halloween party last night, and the hose stepped in some when lighting the bon fire. Did a good job on him, and he set fire to the mound. Know another guy over here who knows someone and got some of the flies. His problem went away.
Fire ants are just one of the many invasives that are a global problem. I think we need to deal with that overall, and will try the home remedy suggested above....
