Off topic: Living in paradise

There are a lot of things we like about living in Florida:

Now I don't get too bothered by 100+ temps as they are "normal" round here...but having been in Orlando-ish in mid July 9 years ago (as in Honeymoon) I can tell ya, 100 here is NOT the same as 100 there. Y'all's humidity is a killer!! I wilted like a hot-house flower!

Great pics.

That is absolutely a beautiful sunrise Mike took. Only one person can paint those colors, God!

Have a great day,and stay cool!

Indeed, Pops, indeed.

MM: Usually we have a sea breeze that keeps things reasonably nice here even with the humidity. But without a sea breeze, it is definitely a hot house.
