Things you don't want to see in your first month in Florida

1. Palmetto bug...trust me - unpleasant! Don't believe me - check this out. Believe me now?
2. This picture:

It's going to be a rainy few days. I hear they shut down the bridges if it gets to windy...fun, since you can't get anywhere in this city without going over a bridge (no, I'm serious...you can't.) See those little Hs in that graphic...that mean hurricane folks. Nope, no starter storm for Alex - she gets a hurricane watch her first time out! Oh! See that H marked 2PM Thu...that H is Jacksonville. Hurrah!

Lucky me!

New home - new neighbors

So, the good news is I found the cord that connects my camera to my computer. The bad news is that I took 70 pictures on the drive to Florida! So, in the interest of not completely boring everyone to tears I'm going to have to do some editing, but I haven't gotten to that yet.

BUT! I did take a picture of one of my new neighbors...he's got lots of friends to. They are all pretty quiet and generally don't cause any real problems.


I hope to get some photo editing done in the next few days, and will post when I have them.

In the meantime - keep an eye on Tropical Storm Fay...she seems to be headed in our general direction. We're not worried yet, but that would certainly be one heck of a "Welcome to Florida!"

Later days.
