What’s Going On at St Thomas’ Playing Fields and Dog Run?
Some new development going on here? Or what? Does this sign apply to the football and other nearby fields? Enquiring minds want to know.
Oh No I May Be Becoming An Obamaniac
Is this an infectious disease, perhaps spread by reading far left blogs? I occasionally do such treacherous things, to see what they are up to. I think the Obama administration found my only weakness and is shamelessly exploiting it. I mean, of course, the suggestion that high-speed rail, as in Europe, mentioned by our President [… Read More]
He Is Risen!
He Is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!
New Town Arising Around New University
About 25 miles to the east of Naples and Fort Myers, really a long way out in the boondocks, there is a new town going up. In Florida that may not be such big news but this town is being built around a new university rather than a golf course or a riding stable or [… Read More]
A Break From Baseball

Recent storms in the Rockies and Billings notwithstanding, the end is near. Of course, most of them will be [… Read More]

There is a marvelous collection of paintings and statuary collected by the youngest Ringling brother, John, who died in the 1930s, and given to the [… Read More]
Something Happened In The 60s
Can anyone guess what this structure is? I’ll give you a hint: it often has cars in its parking lot on Sunday morning. Yes, of course, you guessed it. It is a Roman Catholic Church built about 50 years ago. The inside was only slightly better than the outside. The priest was elderly of course, [… Read More]
Spring Break in Ft Lauderdale
While walking on Ocean Boulevard in the cool of the evening earlier today I saw a number of street lights covered on the beach side. Naturally I was puzzled. When I asked some kind looking ladies of a certain age who happened to be walking behind me they pointed to this sign pictured below. I [… Read More]
