    Here's what I have to say about that...



    It should have looked like a Keystone cops car going down the road, or something.

    Clown car definitely! Left front and right rear. Felt like a Seafair Pirate!

    I can see clearly now, the rain has gone. I can see all obstacles in my way.

    We have had some tremendously bad weather during the past week.

    But.... there is only a 20% chance of rain tomorrow so I will get to drive The Wonder Falcon to work tomorrow morning!

    I'm doing the happy bannana dance.

    We're all under the impression that at some point all of Florida will be under water. Is that not true?

    Looks like a boat might be more appropriate!

    Exploring

    The weather finally cleared (for a couple of days) and I drove the perfectly running, instantly responsive, whisper quiet, silky smooth Wonder Falcon to work yesterday.

    I took a slight detour on the way home to look at something. The Falcon makes it fun to go driving just for the heck of it.

    This main road passes right in front of this place, but it is behind a fence. You have to to turn off onto another road before you reach it in order to get to it. It makes it a bit confusing to find the place, even though it is plainly visible from the highway.

    A friend at work told me that it had used to be a bait and tackle shop, but it had not been open for a long time. No one was there when I visited, but it looks like maybe someone want to make a souvenir shop out of it (?). They have put a lot of work into the place. Look at the painted hand prints on the driveway surface.

    I wonder how many boat owners in the town have said over the years, "Dang-it! Someone stole my floats again....

    Good to see it drying out enough for you. Erica skirted you it appears. I hope to finally take my Ranchero "Out for a spin" too this weekend after all the work it's seen. Weather is supposed to be somewhat cooperative for the long Labor Day weekend. Not 100%, but you take what you get.
