The evening of April 9, 1891, the Citrus County Commission chambers
in Mannfield, Florida were taken over by a partisan group from the
nearby town of Inverness, declaring Inverness to be the new county
seat. "Stolen" is what irate folks from Mannfield said. In fact,
the County Clerk, still in his chair at his desk, writing, had been
loaded into a mule-drawn wagon and hauled off, along with county
furniture and records. By 1917, Mannfield was no longer on maps -
it was a "ghost town" with naught but longleaf pine and turkey
oak-covered woods. Nothing remained, not even foundations, just a
lonely cemetery, a dried up pond and old sandy roads. Could things
have been different? The history of Mannfield, Citrus County and
even the United States of the late 1890s and early 1900s changed
when Jim Harkins went on one of his nature-loving bicycle rides
down the northern portion of the Withlacoochee State Trail in
Citrus County in the early autumn of 2001. All caused by a
wandering gopher tortoise crossing the trail.
"You Can't Pick Up Raindrops" is a collection of unforgettable
short stories including a lot of humor, a tear jerker, science
fiction, a bit of romance, alternate universes, the truly strange
and weird, as well as stories that will leave you with the
question: "Did that really happen?"
