Florida Chat - Hi !

[Bea-FL]

What I woke up to today, on the first day of spring, here in Florida:

What my wife woke up to today, up in Pennsylvania:
(She's up there because her dad is having surgery on Friday)

One of these is more better!

You think?

This was posted today in another thread. A proposed vaping ban indoors for Florida to be placed on the ballot for next November.

Apparently the state of Florida wants us to vote to ban to vape in all places where smoking is prohibited. It would be on the November ballot.

Worse is that these Vaping Bans are going to be combined to an Offshore Drilling Ban and if approved will eventually be FL State Constitutional Amendments. . .

Except to see less of me, I'm tired of all of the ad's.
I WILL also be dropping my supporting membership when it expires, if they need money to run the site, then they can get it from all the popup ad's they are running.

What ads? I see no ads. What device/browser are you using? There are ways to make that most of that nonsense stop on just about any of them.

Gratuitous FL picture taken this evening:

So lovely! IMO there's nothing more soothing than the sound of ocean waves!

@Rossum I thought of you and your photo when I saw this

Glad you can join us. Looking forward to meeting you.

It's also more pleasant to work 7 days a week when you're by the sea, where I'm not expected to wear shoes. Thankfully, the internet makes this possible.

Glad you can join us. Looking forward to meeting you.

Timing was good. I'm headed north on the 23rd.

My remarks and news on the thread…It's Offical On November Ballot - FL Constitutional Amendment #9 - YEA or NAE | Page 1 | Post #13…would criminalize vaping in the workplace without a foundational definition equating vaping to smoking by FL legislature. This end run to steamroller an uninformed public opinion would set a very bad precedent for us all.

Good luck.

 

[Bea-FL]

Thanks for the alert. I hadn't heard anything yet.

Hey, welcome to our thread! Is that a fifth wheel?

 

[NicotineRush]

30' Work & Play. Full solar. There isn't a power line for miles. Same with water/sewer.

 

[Bea-FL]

Wow! Totally off the grid! Is the whole roof covered with solar panels? And I assume storage batteries are behind the house?

I looked up the RR POA. I'm glad to know there are still places in Florida where humans tread lightly.

Guess "You" are way back in the woods off RT# 60 then . . .
I didn't see "Your" place when I drove by . . .

Made "Me" look too . . . Nope - Not a lot of people around there yet . . .

AND - Not that I am @NicotineRush . . . But, If I can remember "My" drive by's on RT# 60 from Yee Haw Junction to Port Richey correctly . . . A lot of open space, nothing but a few camp grounds (Boys/girls camps & a Dude Ranch too . . . ), lots of cows/horses, and further west a produce processing plant, etc. . . . A few other mobile homes & house every now & then . . . However, IMHO - the area is being in-crouch upon by housing developments from the west of Florida - NOT NICE . . .

Oh Yea - Also "60" is an old 2 lane Highway thoroughfare that is really a main corridor for Truckers (BTW: Ya' can have some fun playing chicken when there are very slow moving vehicles and is no passing lane zone available . . . ) . . . Just Sayin' . . .
