Fuck Lebron James, I’m sick of hearing about him.

Sanibel Turns 35

Sanibel Island Lighthouse

It’s hard to believe, but the City of Sanibel turns 35 this week. I’ve been going to the island at least that many years and lived there for 4. Needless to say, Sanibel has a special place in my heart. I caught my first Snook there, split my chin open in the swimming pool (resulting in stitches and a long trip for my dad to the mainland). I nearly died of pneumonia, road out a couple of close hurricanes, and found and helped save an injured Manatee. Needless to say, there are alot of great memories. My parents were driving out to Ding Darling Wildlife preserve when they heard about Elvis dieing on the CB. (well, he died on the crapper, they just heard about it on the radio)  Anyway, it’s the place I want to be, and the place I’ll always find a way to get back to. You might say it’s my own Particular Harbor.

Manatee Monday

Cow and Calf

Trying hard to keep the blog up this time. For my buds from the Legacy Campaign, it’s Manatee Monday.

You’ve got to be kidding me

Just in time for Holloween Walmart is selling caskets online. Now come on, if you did not have a reason for hatting Walmart before now, you can use this as an excuse. I guess that in this society where it’s make a buck at any price, then Walmart is the perfect example of capitalism gone bad. (Yes, I know, capitalism is already bad) So now on top of spending millions to keep unions out of their stores, having healthcare that cost too much for their employees, buying life insurance policies on their employees and collecting if they pass away you have just one more reason to hate America’s favorite bad boy big box shop.

Just another Manatee Monday

All my non-Florida friends just don’t seem to understand Manatees. I guess if you’ve not lived in Florida, seen them swimming around, feeding, and playing, it’s just a hard concept to understand. Manatees are probably the most gentle creatures of their size in the world. Their only enemy is man, and we are doing a pretty good job of wiping them out. I’ve heard boaters complain for years about not being able to zip their boat around wherever they like however fast they like. Of course, that same attitude is why the world is as screwed up as it is. We are not alone, and we must consider the rest of the life on our planet as important as ourselves.

Anyway, because of an inside joke with some friends who I worked with in Oregon I’m going to feature a link and a manatee photo every Monday. This week you can click on the logo above and go to the Save the Manatee Club to learn a little more about these amazing animals. And I’ll leave you with our first Manatee Monday photo.
