life in Florida
I do understand some of you sweet readers -- the snow-bound and other northerners --might not be so sweet after reading too much about my lazy ways down here in the Sunshine Estate!
So I'll try not to overdose you. Hence, no talk of walks on the beach or my Zonker-like focus on my tan. No more chatter about "my" pelicans. etc.
Though the fauna unfortunately continue to occupy our attention. One fiendish cardinal keeps sitting on the car's side-mirror and pooping on it.
The fucking bird clearly sees it as sport, enjoying our distress -- teasing us by chirping merrily to tell us when he's done the deed.
We tied plastic bags over the mirrors, reducing the depredations -- but yesterday the bags disappeared (COULD the damned thing untie them???), replaced by more poop than usual!
WTF?!
Other than that (plus a couple of cold fronts straight from Canada), we're enjoying it. (Except Joanne suffers from what she sees as "cultural deprivation" -- and she is NOT the sort to suffer in silence. There is a terrific art museum and great theater/music -- and, fuck, just reading in the shade. But no...)
Philosophical shrugs, and hugs, Justine
