Thanks!
The house is 8.2 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, 4.8 miles of that is land. It's across the bay from Tyndall AFB by 4-5 miles.
As of this morning Florida has the fourth most coronavirus in the US. Only NY, NJ and CA have more and our number goes up by 200-300 a day some days! I worry about my southern friends where they have the highest numbers.
Please please do everything you can to stay safe.

Yes, all Floridians, stay safe and pray that God will breathe a healing breath on everyone!
Love you all!!
Love you all!!
Who can tell where the wind blows these days?
(We can't even count on USPS tracking!)
Good luck.

I guess I fail. I had to look that one up.
Oh, and I don't own any flip-flops. I just go barefoot 98% of the time.
HA - I've actually driven through "Yee Haw Junction" at least a dozen times to get to the west coast (to visit a friend in Port Richey) and back (South Florida) . . . So I'll say this, it's an OLD TRUCK STOP and actually a very important stop to get prepared to ride Route 60 W ( 
"Playing Chicken" sometimes - best at night ) or to take a moment to gather yourself to get back on the turnpike south . . . Best Song while driving Rte 60 - Willie Nelson "Country Roads" & "On The Road Again" . . . (BTW: FYI - Hungry ? Only get well known prepacked snacks . . . ) . . . Just Sayin' . . .

My neighbors across the street just left this morning for a week down south, now that down south is open again.
We are doing fine. Lucky is healthy and happy. I don't really post a lot anymore, but I do check on a few threads daily.
