What to do when you can't get the on-linemerchant -- let's just say "TypePad", for instance -- won't take your credit card and your blog goes stale for several days

Catamaran_like_kens Try entering your billing address without the "Plus 4" of your zip code.  Then you'll be back in business.

Sorry, but that little SNAFU explains my stale blog, also the usual Christmas excuses plus the unusual excuse of getting to help my friend bring his catamaran sailboat yacht home from the broker in Bradenton.  Which was very, VERY cool, despite 20 knot head winds and cold (for Florida).  The picture is not kilowatt's boat, but one a lot like it.

My sweep Aunty Betty gave me some family history stuff from turn of the century Kansas City, stuff so cool I may need to build a blog site just for it.  Thanks, Aunt Betty, you're the best!

If folks can't live without your pithy wit, quips and epigrams for a few days during the Christmas season.... They need to get out more.

I know I do.

Seen at low tide

  • American White Pelican
    Saw 30 in one flock on a weptember evening while fishing
  • Hummingbird
    Finally, my first hummingbirds. Saw them on a fire bush in Crystal Beach, FL. My rental's neighbor's yard is all xeriscaped, which is ugly to me but just fine with the little hummers. At first, I thought they were the biggest hornets I'd ever seen.
  • Flamingo!
    One of these dudes flew right over my house. I couldn't believe it. And please don't tell me it was a roseated spoonbill because it was a frickin' flamingo, dude! Huge and pink and right there above me. I was like so freaking out, you know?
  • Falcon!
    Don't see these guys too often. Wish we did. Bet the morning doves don't.
  • Black Skimmer
    These beauties are getting scarce, but one flew by yesterday at low tide on the hunt for minnows.
  • Dead sea turtle
    cool, but smelly
  • Reddish Egret
    These have been hanging out around the pool quite a bit lately. Must be a new group of adolesent birds -- the youngsters like to hunt where the water is clear, and it takes them a day to figure out there are not now and never will be fish in the swimming pool no matter how clear the water.
  • Sand Piper
  • Brown Pelican
    I saw a flock of about 200 of these at Disappearing Island yesterday, just south of Anclote Island on the west coast of FL. Good to see such a large flock.
  • Wood Pecker
    They've developed a sudden interest in the orange tree, which just went into bloom.
