DOODY CALLS.... what you need to know about septic to sewer conversion and Lake County's water resources.  Lake's water resources are at risk as we rapidly grow.  The move to protect our lakes and drinking water for the next generation is underway. We discuss the efforts of Governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature to assist Lake County and Florida with this effort.

This week, inspired by Cathy's recent travels to central Florida, Rick and Cathy talk about places they love in Lake County, some of the more surprising aspects of Lake County history, and why, even in the middle of The Villages, you can find hidden scraps of natural Florida.
