Firetowers in FL All the firetowers I've seen here in FL are fenced in with barbed wire, a locked gate, etc., etc. Looks like a penitentiary ! Only in this case it's to keep the hoodlums out, not in. Many, many times I have wished I could climb up to get the view and can't, especially in Ocala...

Great word pictures Glo, thanks! Drool-drool-drool !!!

Sounds like he broke his neck and drifted downstream. It is a tragedy. My prayers go out to his family. David

Not sure if I spelled that bloodsuckers name right, but if ever a bug came from hell, this is the one. Good name for them--you can't see-um until their giant jaws lock on, then you feel 'em. and usually in the hundreds. Went fishing two weeks ago in the Indian River here in FL, and as soon as I...

More Camp Chow Bacon, eggs, and homefries--I could live off of them in the woods ! Fried sweet potatoes are UNBELIEVABLE along with fried eggs. The aroma of bacon frying, with the woodsmoke, OMG, I'm salivating again on the keyboard! Making toast without burning it was always a challenge, but...

G.W. & Olde Daytona Beache Thank-you all ! I must admit, however, that I expected Jerseyman to add his 4 pence, so to speak, however, perhaps the topic has been throughly expounded on ! Did y'all know that when G.W. was in his retirement years he came to Daytona Beach ? Farquahr Snerdfoot, PhD...

The book mentioned: George Washington's Batsto Cypher--is this book still in print? Can anyone summarize its theme ? I never heard of it and I'm a G. Washington fanatic. I suppose I can go to amazon.com to see if it's still in print....David

No, the meat is not pre-cooked. I would freeze the RAW meatloaf and put it in the ice-chest. Then I would put it in the foil with the veggies.

Hey Y'al: Well, September is almost upon us. You'se guys up there hardly had a summer, whilst weez down here (FL) have just reached the half-way mark of 90+ degree weather, with about 60 days of more of the same. I ain't complain'in mind you, 'cause on Jan. 1st I'll be surf-fishin in shorts and...

Elijah was on Mt. Sinai when he heard God's voice. (I Kings 19:12) It was not a voice loud or thunderous. It was a "still small voice". To look for God only in something big (rallies, churches, conferences, highly visible leaders) may be to miss Him because He is often found gently whispering in...

I'm sorry your experience with them is included as a "worst experience" memory. You guys came to worship in different ways. Respect is the operative word here. I'm a Christian and would not have reacted that way towards you. Blessings...David

OMG! Imagine if they got to be 12 feet long! Godzilla on all fours !!! LOL !!!

Looks more like a white spoonbill--the roseate is absent ! LOL ! Of course, down here in FL they are flamingo pink !

Last log-in for that is 11/08--nearly a year ago. I am familiar with this, but it is not helpful. Thanks anyway though!

Big Timber Creek is one big creek ! It is greatly influenced by tides. Batsto River was probably influence by tides as well prior to it being dammed. This piqued my interest. My huge Random House Dictionary defines creek: 1. a watercourse smaller than a river. 2. a watercourse or channel in a...

I have been searching and cannot find up-to-date information on the status of Willow Grove Lake. Last I heard the Nature Conservancy was adamant in not allowing the spillway to be replaced and were advocating the lake's demise promoting a freshwater riparian marshland as it once was prior to...

Are you allowed to collect teaberry (wintergreen) and sassafrass? There might be a NJ statute covering that one ! LOL !!! Or a permit !!!

Oh, and it is interesting to note that while one physician essentially bled Washington to death, another advocated a new procedure he learned in England, a tracheosotomy, which probably would have saved the general's life by opening up his airway. This procedure was considered too radical by his...

Though I love the 18th century period, and enjoy reading the diaries, I would not of wanted to live back then. Many themes in George Washington's diaries speak of his illneses. He firmly believed he would die young like his father and grandfather before him. He did die relatively young...

AMAZING. Thanks for capturing a day in the life of two male rattlers.
