I'm not a big fan of those houses on the manmade canals. In fact, I'm not
a big fan of having waterfront property with a boat dock. Looking out the
den window and seeing a big boat or my neighbor's house across the canal
is not to my taste. I'd rather park the boat at a nearby marina. That
should be much easier these days in Florida because of the financial
collapse there.



I think most people who own homes on manmade canals do so *because* they can
dock their boat near the house. That's why they live there. If people
don't like looking at boats, they shouldn't buy a home in an area designed
for people with boats.

Yep. I like to look at boats. And I've enjoyed visiting family with
those docks in the back yard. Very convenient walking out the back
door and climbing into the boat.
And if I didn't like looking at boats, I'd have my den window
overlooking the front yard.
Or just close the curtains.
Then when I got ready to go boating, I'd psych myself up by repeating
ten times,
"When I open the back door I will see my boat at the end of my back
yard, and some boats and houses across the canal."
I think that would do for me.

Taste is subjective. :)

If my boat was in a marina I probably wouldn't use it very much.
Certainly not 4 or 5 times a week.
The trick is finding a short canal with no traffic and nobody out your
back door. I passed the house next to the one I posted and went around
the corner on a dead end canal. I am 300' from the river but I don't
ever see any boat traffic and it is a very private yard.


I don't think I could ever get used to living in south Florida because
of the heat from April through October. But obviously lots of folks like it.


I really don't think it is any hotter here in the summer than it was
in DC. I remember lots of days over 100 there in the summer. It never
gets much more than the mid 90s here if you are near the water. The
real difference is at night but that is what AC is for. Now if 50-60
is your favorite temperature, we don't have much for you here 9 months
of the year.
I like 75-85 myself but I boat and swim in my pool a lot.



75-85 is also my preferred summertime temp.
When we lived in north Florida, I'd have business trips a few times a
month to south Florida, both on the Miami side and on your side, well,
usually in Tampa-St. Pete. Almost always, as soon as I got off the plane
in your latitudes in the spring or summer, I was knocked over by the heat.

That's why I preferred northern Florida. It *felt* better to me.

That's because your so damned fat. Fat people don't like the heat.
Hell, they sweat like pigs while trying to walk in 40 degree temps.

Exactly!
My neighborhood has a private boat ramp and we had someone who
actually complained that there were a lot of boats on trailers in
people's driveways. They got shouted down.


What's funny is how many people buy on a canal with no intention of
boating. Punta Gorda is a prime example. Hardly any boats at the
docks.
Saw a small percentage of docks having boats in Cape Coral too, but
haven't been there for years.
I don't see where boat traffic in the canals is an issue.
Might even liven things up a bit seeing something/somebody when you're
on the dock having a drink.
I'd rather have a bit of traffic than a half hour ride to the river if
that was my choice.
My sister's place in Punta Gorda is pretty far from Charlotte Harbor,
but man is it quiet back there. The other side of the canal is a
nature preserve.
I think I've seen 2 boats in all the hours (days and days worth) I've
spent fishing on that dock.
Neither came close by as the canal is very wide there and dead ends
about a hundred yards away.
Oh, saw a couple kayaking once too.
Here's a shot

Pretty good fishing there too. If you're veeery patient.

We talked about this before, and a lot has to do with acclimatization
and mind control.
I go to St Pete beach every year and when my car A/C went out the
first day last year, we just stayed inside or on the beach mid day.
We found that the 85-90 degree stuff didn't bother us when driving.
Of course we weren't on the highway, so having the car windows
open was fine.
Other years we had the air on under those conditions and probably
would have sweated without it.
Took about 3 days to get acclimated.
Using mind control was about 50% of it.
Not the Mr Spock stuff, just not bitching about the heat.
Or even talking about it.

From December through March, south Florida is the place to be in the

Oh, you know how it is with Harry. If he doesn't like something, no
one else should either. I can see the fat ******* sweating like a pig
and whining constantly.


Does it make you horny?



LOL...... that's a good 'un.

The question is, how would any woman know if Lil' Loogy were horny?
