Florida Gators Take First Ever College World Series Title

The Gators have won plenty of National Championships over the years in many sports. In fact, they’re better at doing that than any other University in the Country.

Bulldog Goes into Full Pout Mode Over the Central Florida Weather

There’s no relief from near-constant rain and heat here. Yeah, that’s the name of the game here in the Sunshine State. Summers are brutal. I know that. But at this moment, I’m having more than the usual trouble accepting that and just carrying on… Continue Reading “Bulldog Goes into Full Pout Mode Over the Central Florida Weather”

It’s Saturday and I’m NOT at Silver Springs State Park

I do work on weekends these days. Not sure what it would take to change that. It’s an issue I’m working on. If you’re mostly an outdoor dog — as I am — there’s one advantage to having your free time falling on week… Continue Reading “It’s Saturday and I’m NOT at Silver Springs State Park”

Following the Money Could Lead to the Bigger Scandal – Political Wire

Many of us who have followed the ever-expanding story around tRump’s sickening corruption have been waiting for confirmation that investigators were focusing on the financial part of all of it.

Fave Fotos: hitherto unpublished pix from Wekiwa Springs State Park

Never did get these up here on my blog. It’s time. These are from my second trip to Wekiva Springs State Park this year. Some of these, I think, show my best work. Not sure why I waited so long to get them up… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: hitherto unpublished pix from Wekiwa Springs State Park”

Go See Wonder Woman

This is not going to be a long or complex posting. I saw the movie Wonder Woman. It was amazing. Gal Gadot is the real deal. Chris Pine’s male lead is just as good for him as his Capt Kirk role. Go see it.… Continue Reading “Go See Wonder Woman”

Trips to the Beach On Those Cloudy, Overcast Days

  Trips on days like that can be nice. I made it to the beach on one of those days about two weeks ago. I was sure that I’d get wet but my beach jones was so bad that day that I pointed my… Continue Reading “Trips to the Beach On Those Cloudy, Overcast Days”

Conservative Columnist Jennifer Rubin Tears Into Our Trumpenfuhrer

Since Jennifer Rubin is not a bleeding heart Libtard, you might think that tRump supporters would give some credence to what she’s saying. But, of course, the vast majority of them will not. Let me quote from her column which was published yesterday, June… Continue Reading “Conservative Columnist Jennifer Rubin Tears Into Our Trumpenfuhrer”

Orlando’s Fashion Square, one of America’s struggling malls – Orlando Sentinel

Ben writes: You may have read my posting from May 6th about how the Florida Mall on the south end of Orlando is still doing fine.

I loved that… Continue Reading “Orlando’s Fashion Square, one of America’s struggling malls – Orlando Sentinel”

Mr. Gator Hangin’ Around at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Brevard County

Saw this gator playing peek-a-boo among some aquatic plants. Had my trusty camera at the ready, so I got off a shot or three. I’m liking ’em and thought I’d pass some of them along. Before too long I had a chance to get… Continue Reading “Mr. Gator Hangin’ Around at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Brevard County”
