Blogging has been slow lately as we've just been really busy around here. I am a tad exhausted. Rick is just wiped out. On Saturday morning I plan to sleep very, very late. At least till eight.
In the meantime, I have yet another warning on why you shouldn't move to Florida. Bad enough that we have too many condos, homeowner's associations and scorpions. But now our pelicans are attacking!
Read the article, I kid you not! Twenty-five stitches resulted after that dangerous day in the Gulf.
This poor woman was not only attacked by a pelican that mistook her for a fish (ahem), but also, area wildlife conservation agents are complaining that there's not ENOUGH money in the budget for eyesight checks for pelicans. They will apply for a government grant to study the pelican population and see if there is any danger to the general public. Y'all might as well stay in Arkansas, what with all the alligators wandering into the kitchens and black bears climbing trees in the city. It's a tad scary down here in Jungala Florida. Think I'm making all this up? Then come on down and move right in! Just wait'll you meet your local homeowner's insurance agent. Then you'll know real fear.
~Back soon!~
LOL..... you are not the first person I've read lately who has said that insurance in FL is scary! I can't believe a pelican thought a woman was a fish! Get him some glasses.

How big of a fish to pelicans usually eat? Jeez! Maybe he was starving.

Love the dog pictures. I'm always amazed at the talent people have when it comes to photography. I hope you have a nice restful weekend.

Attacked by a pelican? Maybe the East Coast isn't as bad as Bossy thought.

I used to wanna live in Florida until I started reading b**gs from there (like yours). Of course you don't want to live in Oregon, either, because we got pelicans, too!

LOL, I hadn't heard about the pelican incident! Crazy, but then again, that's what Florida is - Crazy.
You'd think all our weird crap would drive people away in droves. Hurricanes, gators, bears, pelicans, snakes, pythons, outrageous home prices and outrageous insurance costs. But they just keep coming. WHY? Seriously...there are other places out there just as "nice" as Florida, even nicer! So why do they keep coming???
