Conundrum

[Beachcomber]

It's 90* in the shade and from the storm and all the rain feels like a jungle today.

My problem is, do I go snorkeling this evening at Sand Key or Pass-A-Grille?

Tough call on that one. Since I've never been to either, I would have to suggest either flipping a coin or playing rock paper, scissors with yourself [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Summertime.
The time when the weather up here is as good as the weather down south by GL.
Sitting P [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img] LSIDE today.
Look to my left nothing but girls [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
look to my right, again nothing but girls [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Even got into the pool myself today.
Sun , a little background music, girls sunning themselves, me sunning myself, kids playing in the pool even a few dining alfresco Poolside.
'Tis the good life it is! LOL!
You know, that AlFresco thang is great. Especially when there's a little brezze or something.
I should have done that last night.
BBQ chicken, cole slaw, corn on the cob and a maragrita would have even been better outdoors [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Just in case

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"
By Kenny Chesney


I've been up to my neck workin 6 days a week
wearin holes into the shoes on my feet
been dreamin of gettin away since i dont know
Aint no better time than now..for mexico

No shoes, No shirt, No problems
Blues what blues..hey i forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shirt, no shirt, and no problems!
No problems

Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea
want to look thru my shades and see you there with me
Want to soak up life for a while
In laid back mode
No boss, no polite, no stress, no dress code

No shoes, no shirt, no problems
Blues what blues hey i forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shoes, no shirt, and no problems

Babe lets get packed..tank tops and flip flops if u got them
No shoes, no shirt, no problems
No problems.

Better with music, of course!

I aint got a beach, but the P [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img] L will do just fine.

With a cool breeze, you can close your eyes and almost hear the waves [img]graemlins/island.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

well I couldn't go under the water really, it's still too murky and full of muck from the storm, and the sun was setting too so I didn't have enough light. But...the shells were washing right up on the beach anyway so all I had to do was wade in water 4" deep and find them at my feet, I found a nice amount.

It was so cute as I was walking back I got almost all the way to my car and looked at my shell bag and somethng didn't look quite right, here one of the little conchs was still in the shell and was sticking his little eyes out of the bag looking around scared. So I reached down and grabbed the shell out and made sure there were no other live ones I missed and he sucked himself back inside and pulled his little lid shut and as I was carrying it back to the water he peaked out at me. I threw him out into the water as far as I could. I don't know how people can kill a little creature like that just because they want the shell? He has as much right to live as we do and to kill him/her for the shell is murder in my opinion.

I bought a photo at summerfair of a sunset through some palm trees on miami beach. I bought it as a sort of "mood enhancer" for the rainy days [img]wink.gif[/img] LOL!

Always plenty of good days to counter the bad ones (at least weather wise)

Never had Conch, but that sounds pretty good Trav.

Actually, the overlook at woodland mound is a nice place to watch one. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

No P [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img] LSIDE today. Someone broke a glass and they had to drain the pool to clean it up.

Plastic bottles and cups only, and unbreakable if you've got it. (I do, my poolside cup is unbreakable plasic) Most people do just bring plastic stuff down there, I've never even seen anyone with anything glass arund the pool.

Oh well, plenty of sunny days ahead for that. No big deal (I guess) to miss one, but I hope it doesnt happen again.
