The day after Christmas
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - It's the day after Christmas and everything is pretty quiet. Although there were 20 individuals in the local upscale coffee shop in the neighborhood. And 19 were half my age. So it goes.
The two hibiscus we just planted are doing colorfully fine. Down at the fishing pier work to add docking facilities...and all the heavy equipment it entails...continues. The hope is to entice the passing powerboats and sail boats to stop in.

Mountain climbing. Denali..by air
Denali |
We flew at about 13,000' trying to skirt the clouds. This shot is of the backside of the peaks. The main route to the top was obscured by cloudy conditions on the opposite side. In any event, spectacular scenery.

All the comforts of home

Why would you want to live in a condo? |
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - It was 38-degrees Monday morning. I wonder what the cold felt like living / sleeping in the (very small) DIY houseboat anchored on the Halifax River a short way from where we live? If you click on the photo to enlarge it and look closely you'll see it may be compact, but it appears this individual(s) has about all that's needed...except electricity, water and sewer. Transportation to shore is provided by a small row boat and there is probably a bicycle to get around on. Since neither is to be seen, the "nobody's home" sign must be out.
