Foggy Morning Tornado Landscape
March 18, 2022
On Saturday, March 13 a 200-yard wide EF1 tornado with winds of 110MPH ripped through Ocala, Florida. Trees, fences, and some structures were damaged. A recent foggy sunrise created an eerie damaged landscape.

Abandoned- Robinson's Pecan House
March 13, 2022
A piece of Florida tradition... Florida kitsch... is disappearing. Robinson's Pecan House had, according to the Monticello News in 2020, been run by Arthur Robinson for 43 years and before that by his brother, Willie, for 37 years. Noticeable for its bright red and yellow signs, the Pecan House is on a rural section of Capps Highway, the road that was the main north-south thoroughfare to the state capital, before the interstates took over. For years, it has been the indicator for me that I was getting close to Tallahassee when driving up from Tampa. Along with pecans and pecan products, the House (actually a stand with 4 manual garage doors that raised up when open for business) sold a variety of local honey, boiled peanuts, tomatoes, and other goodies.
Sadly, time has not been kind to the Robinson's Pecan House and it is permanently closed, slowly being consumed by the rural countryside.
Once bright yellow and red signs lead to and away from the Pecan House along the side of the highway, offering delights to passers-by. Now they are slowly falling apart.

Abandoned- Inside Boss Oyster
March 09, 2022
Boss Oyster, and the conjoined River Inn and Caroline's restaurant were long-time favorites in Apalachicola, Florida. Hurricanes and the Pandemic shut them down. Click here to read their story in my earlier post.
In late February 2022, I was able to go inside what was once a favorite watering hole in Apalach, Boss Oyster.

Short Walk Off A Long Pier

In Apalachicola, behind the Seafood Festival, there is an old pier. The "Old Guys Playing Old Music" were close to the beginning of the pier but the rest of it was empty.

The evening of December 31, 2021 was warm, humid and foggy...
But a good time was had by all.
Inside...
As fitting for the year 2021 was, we have "inexpensive" dinner wine in real wine glasses, a really good Charbono later in plastic cups. Oh, the irony... not, that's not irony, it's... never mind...
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!
