- Drifting in the Gulf Waters - bliss (see previous post)
- Sheriff patrolling beach in his golf buggy
- Autogyro buzzing the sun worshipers down below
- Handstands on sand dune off the coast (mini me thought they were drowning when only feet were visible!)
- Helicopter sightseers checking out our beach
- Blossoming of the Cross at our outdoor Easter service
- Great dinner out with friends
Storm over St Pete Beach as pictured on Facebook |
And speaking of storms in a tea cup - here's a real humdinger of a storm front rolling through end of March.
Another possible storm in a tea cup involves our new City Hall - but I think all will be well. Quite a difference hey?!?

Florida License Plates (Tags/Number Plates)
First we don't have front plates which means in a number of places back in parking is a no-no which can result in a ticket -- yes we know back in parking is safer, but hey "This is Florida ..."
Second, we have not only personalised/vanity numbers, but specialty plates in many colours/designs to numerous to count. Mini Me started a photo collection of these, but dropped it when realising that the road rage here is high and someone might take issue to their plate being photographed - not worth the hassle for even you, my blog readers. You can view samples here.
To get an idea of the variety of plates on offer, click for a brochure. Protecting sea turtles, dolphins, Florida panthers and manatees are all in the top 6 - hurrah! Rattlesnakes and bears don't feature in the top 120 list thank goodness says mini me! There are plates for university alumni, military veterans, and all sorts of causes, for example:
- Choose Life
- Protect Wild Dolphins
- Salutes Firefighters
- American Red Cross
- Challenger Columbia
- Go Fishing
- Animal Friend
- Jacksonville University
- End Brest Cancer
- Stop Child Abuse
Here's what is says about the brochure . ..
This brochure includes graphics for all Florida license plates. We recommend a high speed internet connection to view this brochure because the file is very large (4MB) and may be too big for users with dial-up connections [who has a dial-up connection these days - guess the gov't of FL is behind the times].
... which brings me to note: internet speeds here in the US seem much slower than the UK; what a pain!!!!
Early morning of 4th April we had a partial lunar eclipse. Apparently mini me told hubby she saw the moon at 5:30 am but has no recollection of saying or seeing such a thing. Here's hubby's pictures.
Wow that's a storm front and a half!!
