Really nice night - even started seeing some lightning bugs which

Glad you like it. it's hotter'n hoemade sin here.

right now it's 79 degrees, no air moving and about 75% humidity.

upper 90's for tomorrow (again)

==================================

What the heck is *hoemade sin*? I can think of a couple things but
they
can't be right.

Oh, by the way, it's 76*/95% humidity here in central Fl, just like
it
is
every night this time of year.

I wouldn't trade it for snow though.

I wouldn't trade our snow for all your giant cock roaches either.

We like to call them Palmetto bugs.....and I'm sticking to it.

I spent several years down there, I know what it's all about. When one
landed on my wife's arm and sent her into hysterics, all my attempts
to convince her it was a 'palmetto bug' and not a cockroach fell on
deaf ears!

I got used to them, along with beautiful weather, beaches, fishing,
canoeing, springs, etc. I grew up in western NY and never got used to
the snow and cold!

If I had to chose between ridding the world of Canada geese or
palmetto bugs, we'd never see another Canada goose!

We only have one pair of those dirty birds on the golf course I frequent

Pansy.

The corn field is really late this year - by now it's usually hip
high, barely touches my knees.

But the hay - oh my gosh am I getting a second cut - you wouldn't
believe the quality of the alfalfa/timothy mix the leasing farmer
planted last year - it's amazing.

I'll bet we're going to get 1,000 - maybe 1,200 bales this year on
second cut, with some heat I'll get a third and probably a fourth cut
off the fields.

Call up Mrs. E. She will reverse any 401K losses.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

Anchor fishing, landed a
couple small Mud Marlins (Bat Rays) and a few Smooth Hound sharks. Was
fun.
Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a
good tasting shark.

We're having quite the debate back East about sharking.

There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are
decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this
time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in
fish 'n chips - who knew.

There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks
normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's
been getting worse every year since about 2004.

We can send you some Blues. The most overfished are the Threshers. Most
off our coast are juniors. So the teenagers are wiped out a lot. The
Smoothhounds are about 2-3' and not edible as far as I know. The 7 gills
and the Leopard sharks are very edible. Leopards have to be 36", so that
keeps a large population reproducing. Must are C&Red. Fun to catch a
20-80# bat ray.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

Is that what they called a Baht Bug in Thailand? Buddy at Korat, said they
