I'm just going to live on this blog for a few weeks
First! A current Critter Report:
January 10, 2008. Mile Marker 122.8 (Sure they are all happy until they hit the construction zone at 118) Heading South on the South Bound side of the stretch. Two Critters on bikes wearing no helmets, baseball caps on backwards and orange towels covering their rear ends. Mid 30's. Good old boy bikers. Not a whiff of spandex or silly traffic flag on either of them. Camping gear.
So. As I was heading south to take kid two to school this morning I noticed that Founders park at mm 87 was all wrapped up in event tape with signs that said the HGTV event was about to happen. Kid two said his friends had taken a tour of the house and the "furniture was amazing". We then got into a discussion about the economics of winning such a prize. I explained that you have to pay income tax on the value of the house in addition to all the other expenses that come with property. Once we did the math out loud it became clear that, even if we sold our current house, we would not have enough to pay the taes on the "Dream Home". Nothing is free. But I wouldn't say no to winning it.
Go enter.
It says the give away isn't until March 16 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT. So WTH are they doing this weekend? Inquiring minds want to know. Traffic is going to suck.
Correction on the "Art Under the Oaks" Date is January 19th.
In other news the Tavernier peacocks have discovered Gerry Droney Landscaping, MM 88.7. Some fruit or tasty tree must be luring them because they make runs across U.S 1 jumping the fence trying to get in before they get shoo'd back to the ocean side. It's pretty funny if it isn't your landscaping they are eating and poo'ing all over. Loud. Someone said there are two albinos in the flock. Kinda cool.
Any day now Office Depot in Key Largo will be open for business. Progress at last, but not in a good way. Yes. Everyone needs office supplies, but there's an Office Depot at the top of the Stretch. Do we really need one in Key Largo?
The Miata is FIXED! Yay me. I miss that little whistling sh^t box.

It occurred to me just now that the word stretch" in the blog's name suggests a torture rack. Or maybe it's the kind of day I'm having.
It does, doesn't it! Brilliant analogy. Go over to my main blog for flocking fun. You'll feel better.
I, of course, a newcomer to this blog, but the author does not agree
