Uhhh, Chris. Aren't you in Florida? Or are you back up north again.

I'm hoping to pick up a couple driveways or something so I can pick up a few bucks every storm.

Hey Tristan! Yeah, the mosquitos are pretty bad. When we go, we always rent a house in Palmetto Dunes. A lot of it depends on where you are down there. If you're close to any of the lagoons, the mosquitos are terrible. If you're closer to the beach, they're not as bad. I've been going every year since the mid '80s and love it down there.

You've got that right! They don't slow down for you and they don't care either.

We have a few roundabouts here, sometimes you need the courage of a Kamikaze pilot to go in!

See 'ya Tristan!

You've got that exactly right Dave. I've been through a few of them all over the east and they all suck. They even put one on the campus at Virginia Tech. You'd think they'd move a little slower there but they don't.

This isn't humid, I just spent a week in nothing less than 85% humidity and I loved every min of it!

It went good, thanks for asking!

The kids had a great time and I think the girls and my favorite parts were swimming with dolphins and holding a baby lion! I have some pictures of both that I will post as soon as I DL them. I was peeling so bad in the lion picture, it looks like I have a star on my forehead

How are you and the family doing John?
