Technical issues have arisen. Wordpress had some new updates as they usually do but for some reason the website is acting a bit squirrelly today. A nice post I had spent most of last evening writing has completely disappeared. It was up but for some reason the comments had been turned off. When I went [...]
One of the cool spiffs of living in a small space is the small utility bills that come with it. Take my little hovel for example… My apartment is 212 sq. ft. One room with a shared bath with the other denizens of the marina. In the apartment I have the following that consume electricity: [...]

In just three days time the forecasted landfall of tropical storm Debby has made a complete 180 degree turn from Texas to the current WAG of North Central Florida. Sigh…ok, what do we have around there? Lessee, on the northern edge is Appalachacola, home to what’s left of the prime oyster beds in the Gulf. [...]

Looks like you have been disqualified for the Debby sweepstakes. Panama City Florida! Time to step to the plate. Looks like it will be a direct move the north right in the middle of the Florida Panhandle. Home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Upside, it may not make it to hurricane [...]
One week to go and I’m at the halfway point in this experiment. As you can see by the chart I’ve managed to briefly drop below the $70 mark but that will come back up as soon as rent hits this week. Other than that it’s been a nice inexpensive month. No splurges to speak [...]
TEXAS and the western Gulf of Mexico! Yes, Debby is now an official named storm and according to the latest baldy headed guy forecasts it will be making a sharp turn west on Monday and heading for the Texas coastline. The jet stream, which steers a lot of these storms will be dipping down just [...]
But no named storm yet. The center is still about 400 miles west of Key West with most of the rain bands on the east side. The Keys have been getting those bands every few hours or along with some windy conditions but little else. The computer models seem to point to the storm moving [...]
