Do as we say, not as we do.

The last word about the Ocean Oaks Condo Board's war on bird-feeders.

If in fact installing a bird-feeder is against Ocean Oaks Condo Rule 5c (which of course is rubbish) then the board in April floated a proposal to break its own rules.

Could it be this little fracas actually has nothing to do with bird-feeders, but is simply more harassment directed at an owner who has been critical of the board? Ya think?

Curly tail

Gulf Fritillary

On a container plant on our deck. Native to Florida and Texas.

Be careful with this guy. He's not dangerous, but can deliver a painful bite.

Boycott Grills


It is with a heavy heart that I am boycotting one of my favorite waterfront tiki-bars/restuarants, Grills, because the owner is an irresponsible SOB, a bible nut, and a disobeyer of sensible public health regulations.



Oh, but it's worse. From his comments:
There is a narrative and a mindset taking over that Christians have speculated about for over 2000 years. We will soon see how far along that timeline we are.
Yup. Barely concealed end-times crap. Thanks, Penovich, we'll take our money elsewhere.. 

Storm surge.

Last night's high tide, marked by the line of seaweed and detritus on the boardwalk. Be nice to our dunes folks! They are the differe...
