Cappy's Corner

What does this look like to you? Looks like Florida is the meat of a sandwich, a storm on each side. Today is one of those days where you just sit back and watch movies, because satellite T.V. is on the fritz. Rain and wind, but nothing dangerous at this point.

Its no wonder we get hit by storms so often, as I look at the map, I notice that Florida is just hanging there like a pecker. The amazing part is how we avoid any of the storms, we do seem to get the tip tickled quite often lately. But, I wouldn't live anywhere else, if a person wants to live on a tropical island and the dreams of clear sky's and constantly beautiful landscape, this is the place to live. I have traveled to almost every state in the U.S. in search of a better place, and I always end up back here. There are some picturesque and amazing sights to see in our land, yet living in any other state seems far too difficult. It snows most everywhere, and each state has its own natural disasters, so hurricanes seem like a mere inconvenience. At least we can predict them somewhat, but mud slides, tornadoes, avalanches, wildfires, just to mention a few, are hard to predict. I think in spite of being a hanging land mass over the hurricane belt, we are lucky to have the most beautiful of tropical environments without the confinement of being an island.

I can hear the rain drops pounding away right now and I will take this opportunity to plug in a good movie, do the laundry and clean the house in my leisure. Take care of the zoo and dry off the wet animals in the group. Have a happy holiday, a day off is always a good day.
