If you look long enough and hard enough, I guess you can always find someone willing to do even the dumbest things. I watch a lot of YouTube videos of truly stupid things being done, and I have to shake my head in amazement that not only was someone dumb enough to try that, but they were dumb enough to put it up on YouTube for the world to see.

The last of the properties was sold off in the late 60's except the farm portion of Homestead which was donated to the State of Maine as a research facility .
I can almost say I'm one of the few Native Floridians

Got down to 35 degrees here on Friday night. Now they are calling for a low of 23 degrees Tuesday night.
Connie and I have been putting away the irrigation sprinklers as they are plastic and will surely crack if there is any water in them to freeze. Hope the ripening citrus doesn't get damaged. Heck, hope we don't lose some of the TREES. Sudden cold snaps like this are pretty hard on plants. Most of the pear trees haven't even dropped their leaves yet.

They've ratcheted down the forecast low for Tuesday night to 20 to 21 degrees now.
Maybe I just need to drive around more in the vehicles to try to kick that global warming thingie into high gear......
Man I hope we don't lose our Poncan tangerines. We've been waiting for them all year to ripen and they are still a couple weeks away from that point.

Actually, I'm thinking that since I really don't drive around all that much lately, I should just go over to the garage every day and open up the doors, and start up all the vehicles to try to make a contribution to that global warming stuff so it will actually kick into gear. As it is, I'm likely to freeze to death before the globe actually does get appreciably warmer....

Well the cold is gone, but it looks like all the rain we haven't been getting lately is going to be showing up over the next several days here. The storms are coming in from the south, so at least the rain isn't preceding a cold front.
