Today and tomorrow I'm skipping the usual format as I'm on the road to Naples for some family dental work.  My cousins are both dentists in Naples and my aunt and uncle have a bed and dinner for me.  No brainer!

I hit Lake Okeechobee on the way and I ended my day with my toes in the Gulf of Mexico.  Ahhhh.  Naples is the root of my inner Floridian even though it looks a lot different than it did 50 years ago when I first started going there!

Plenty of cormorants hanging out on pilings in the Gult at 3rd street beach.

This is why I keep a fishing pole in my car.  Pond large mouth bass in Naples.
