Tampa -- Fort Myers -- Key West = Utopia

We had a wonderful trip in Key West, FL to celebrate Nova's 10th birthday.

The boat trip was awesome. We drove to Fort Meyers and then took the boat to Key West.

The trip highlight was snorkeling on south key reef and enjoying the island feel that old key west offers. Since we did not have a car, we made use of walking, city buses, and occasional taxi cabs to get around.

Poor Poor American Soccer...

We are truly not a world player on so many levels these days... but a nice recent example is soccer. How exactly do you allow your team to keep pressing against a world giant (Mexico) when you have a two goal lead?

The US team should have clamped down... played the game smartly and went on to the next level. Aside from the fact that Mexico has a great team; aside from the fact that the crowd boo'ed and air horned the entire opening ceremony; aside from the fact that 95% of the 90+K crowd was actually Mexican; we had a chance to stuff one down their throat and simply blew it.

I loved TT's comments post game. This is a family blog... you will have to read it for yourself.

Adenoid (1) and Tonsils (2)... THREE!!!

The whole package is coming out of Madison. July 22nd. I am not OK with this, but the whole world seems to be ok with removing something just because they get inflamed every now and then... what I did not know was how many lymphnoids(sp?) there are in the neck... WOW!

Anyways, I lost the battle after two different opinions... I pray everything will be OK with my littlest angel. Surgery regardless of how small is risky!

I know... I know... two posts in one day. Don't count on that repeating anytime soon.

Yuma

Wow... he actually does something right!!

Scott signs welfare drug testing bill!

Our most unpopular Gov Rick Scott signed into law a drug test requirement for welfare recipients. I applaud this action, but too bad for FL. Scott should have taken notes about what happened already in MI.

"The wasteful program created by this law subjects Floridians who are impacted by the economic downturn, as well as their families, to a humiliating search of their urine and body fluids without cause or even suspicion of drug abuse," said Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLU of Florida. "Searching the bodily fluids of those in need of assistance is a scientifically, fiscally, and constitutionally unsound policy. Today, that unsound policy is Florida law." (Tampa Tribune from 6/1/11)

I loved that paragraph.

Um excuse me citizen with hand out... you probably don't pay for medical bills anyway... just piss in the cup and cash the check... it is that simple.

What was once the state of Obama... people around here are finally waking up and smelling the coffee!
