Hey ya'll, this is your intrepid reporter, somewhere in Key Largo. After two days of travelin', I am close to my destination. Of course, I missed seein' the Everglades on the way down because it was too dark by the time I got here. However, now that I know how long it takes to go one way, I know I have plenty of time to travel around all day tomorrow before headin' home, besides, if I do like I usually do, I will just stay on the road all the way home, maybe stoppin' at a couple of rest stops to rest my eyes for a few hours. I likely can make it home in abou 24 hours drivin' all the way through.
So, I thought I did great in packin', but I forgot to bring either one of my digital cameras. Of course, it is not that big of a problem. I suppose I could take pictures with my cell phone or I can just drop by Walmart, if I can find one, and buy another one. I suppose you can never have too many digital cameras, huh? I have several 35mm cameras around the house I never use at all, so I guess I can add a couple of digital cameras to that collection.
Well, it is late and I need to get some rest havin' been on the road for almost two days. I did not eat all that well today. For some reason, it seems all the restaurants on the Interstate were closed for some reason. I missed eatin' any turkey and dressin', like I was really all that worried about such. Of course, I would have loved to have some tacos or a hamburger or somethin'. As it was, I had two bags of peanuts, a bag or chesse crackers, some beef jerkey, and finally a Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich I got a one of the Service Stops on the Toll Road down here, possibly the worst Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. Still, it might be better than what I had yesterday: one bag of Cracker Jacks. Thankfully, I have been very well supplied with fountain Dr. Pepper except for at one stop, where I had to settle for fillin' my cup with ice and buying a bottle to fill my cup.
As for the navel, I saw it this mornin' in Pensacola where I stopped last night. I seems to be enjoyin' the trip, 'cause it was lookin' pretty rosy. I am sorry 'bout not bein' able to post last night, as I was actually lookin' for a place in Biloxi, Mississippi about 8:30 pm. I even had a guy tell me where there was a cyber cafe but by the time I got there, they were shuttin' down for the night. I went to one of the biggest casinos there to see if there was someplace I could access the internet, but the guy sittin' behind the desk must be about the dumbest person I have ever met in several years. I tried to explain several times what I was lookin' for and he did not seem to have any understandin' at all. I am stayin' at the Marriott Inn here and they had a computer sittin' right here in the lobby for use to connect to the internet.
Well, let me get off of here and go see what is on HBO or somethin' Actually, I suspect I am gonna be scopin' out some of these really fine lookin' gals I see hangin' around the pool. End of report.

There are a lot of crusty old guys like us living there. It must be something about the sand and the sea and the relative isolation...and the women, of course.
Take some pics with your cell phone. It would be great to see them. Have a safe trip home.
