EXPECT MIRACLES

                        I'VE FOUND A FRENCH SPEAKING AM RADIO STATION IN MIMS.  THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.  THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF STATIC.  BUT STILL IT'S AMAZING SINCE MIMS IS THE MOBILE HOME CAPITAL OF BREVARD COUNTY AND HAS SOME OF THE  POOREST PEOPLE WHOSE ANCESTORS WORKED IN THE NOW DEFUNCT INDIAN RIVER ORANGE GROVES.  THEY BOMBED A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS' HOME ON CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE 1950'S KILLING HIM  AND HIS WIFE.  THE CHILDREN SURVIVED.  HE WAS A TEACHER AT THE LOCAL SEGREGATED BLACK SCHOOL IN TITUSVILLE.
                 BREVARD COUNTY IS A POPULAR WINTER HOME FOR CANADIANS, SO MAYBE THAT'S WHY THERE'S A FRENCH STATION IN MIMS.  IT'S ALL  IN THE NICK OF TIME.   I HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE IN FRENCH FROM 1970 BUT I'M STARTING TO FORGET EVERYTHING.  SO THIS STATION PROVIDES A REFRESHER.  I HAVE A HOUSE AT THE MIMS EXIT MAYBE IT WORKS BETTER THERE.  I'LL HAVE TO TEST IT.  MAYBE I'LL MOVE BACK THERE WHEN MY TENANTS' LEASE IS UP IN MARCH.  MY REALTOR SAYS DON'T SELL NOW , WAIT FOR PRICES TO COME BACK UP.  THIS SOUTH TITUSVILLE TOWNHOUSE IS DOWN $100,000 SINCE JANUARY 2008.  THE ECONOMY CRASHED IN SEPTEMBER 2008 AND THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER LAYED OFF 6,000 + WORKERS IN 2010 AT THE END OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM.  THIS TOWN HOUSE WENT DOWN $40,000 IN TAXABLE VALUE (MARKET VALUE) ACCORDING TO THE TAX APPRAISER THIS YEAR.  NOW I ONLY PAY $1500 A YEAR.  SO WHO KNOWS?
