We got rain. In the last couple of days, it has rained over 2". We really need it. No tropical storms to speak of, Florida does not sport the green, green grass of home! It is strange how much you come to miss the daily sun. That beautiful, vitamin D filled sunshine. It has only been three days since it has peaked out of the clouds but it feels much longer. When in Indiana, this time of the year, it could be weeks without sun.
Still looking for work. And we read in the paper about one small business after another closing. I am just grateful I have a place to live. Although if you are going to be homeless, Florida is the place to do it. It is estimated there are 65,000 homeless people in Florida. Better weather you know. In Tampa, they call it "Tent City". Hundreds of pup tents for the homeless. Where they get tents, I have no idea. But last March, the Tampa police came into tent city and took knives and cut them up. Threw the people out and cut every tent to pieces. Why???? Good question and the police were reluctant to say. "Safer for the community" was what they said. Bullshit! is what I say. Within a few days, a local church gathered the support of other churches and new tents were being distributed. After that, the police left the homeless alone and "Tent City" was back.
The home next door is empty and a guy across the street is parking his vehicle there. The other day he was backing into the car port and, whala!!!, he back into one of the support columns of the awning. So you suppose liquor had any part in that incident? He replaced the column but has to paint it now. Why back in anyway?
