I think I’m in trouble…..
I think I’m in trouble…..
=8^0 Wow, it’s really HOT here in Orlando today. I need to duck into the shops every now and then Perhaps the tequila in the Margarita had something to do with it… π
π For that non-slip grip on yer margarita!
Per @edcrbnsoul, first got me a Fiesta Margarita, then food. Immediate svc, not crowded at all.
π everyone who responded to my tweet – @BellTinkR, btw – said go to Mexico for lunch, so here I am.
π The jacaranda trees are no longer in bloom, but these beautiful trees are now flowering right after the turnstiles at EPCOT’s main entrance.
π So I don’t forget where I parked!
π had some business to take care of ’round these parts. Headed into EPCOT for lunch!
π To keep you safe on your drive home after spending a month on Sanibel, I’m having your beer for you. It’s the least I could do – anything for a friend.
And in case heβs reading, a shout-out to my fave former “extreme blonde” π I think a beer called Beach Bum could only taste this good in Southwest Florida. And the guy on the bottle sorta looks like you circa Spring 1978.
Awesome day with friend vacationing on Sanibel – screen name "steinbecke". We gabbed over brunch for several hours, and gabbed for several more hours hours sitting on the beach with cold Coronas. And then we went shelling for a couple of hours. We found great stuff in the tidal pool. I found a LIVE alphabet cone, and there were lots of live olives too, something I’ve personally never witnessed before. What an awesome day!
Corona, lime and good times in the sunshine π
Stopped at the light at Six Mile CYPRESS AND 41
Look what we found in the parking lot!
It’s a red pepper slice in the shape of a Mickey head!
Don’t recall what’s in it!
Ot to dinner with Gary and Tootie
We’re still sitting up by the West Wind Inn pool bar. It’s hot and bright, but there’s a wonderful breeze…
π More friends have arrived and we are just enjoying catching up with one another on this fabulous afternoon.
π Gary and Tootie and I are hanging out and catching up K chillaxin’
Holiday weekend beach-goers pile up on the drive-on beaches
VERY tart home-made key lime pie.
π This is the little kitchenette at Sanibel’s Blue Dolphin
…"sea brick" π
π low tide
I just got to a part of the beach where there’s a signal, so reporting that shelling is not great
Blue Dolphin hosted a wine and cheese party this evening.
π With a nice glass of chardonnay
π excited! Gonna see my friends Chris and Jon
Turkey club with the ever-present Corona. Pretty good!

This post is sticky – scroll down for today’s mobile photo blogging
It’s official – I’m sick!Β Boy does this suck.Β I let myself sleep late and now I’m going in search of brunch.Β The sore throat is gone and now we are up to the part where you lie on one side and you get cement on that side of your face.Β So you turn over and lie on the other side, and the cement slowly transfers itself to that side.Β If you catch it at the right moment, just as it is crossing over, you can probably manage to expel it via Kleenex, but then more cement just comes to take its place.
Even though this pretty much sucks, I’m still going to the Magic Kingdom today.Β I will probably take it very easy and just dig the atmosphere and sunshine.Β It is 73* here in Orlando at the moment.Β Hopefully the weather will remain pleasant.
OK, that’s it for now.Β Brunch, and then Magic Kingdom.Β See ya real soon!
To a different beach because this one has no good shells.

EDITING AFTERWARD – ok FINALLY I have forced this mofo to post to the blog. I had to do it via email. It doesn’t want to do SMS or MMS like my other phone/account used to. That’s fine, just so long as the posts get here.
I have to mess with it to ensure that the photos arrive in Picasa Web Albums at 600×800 and also that they post here with the good ol’ “s800” instead of “s400” (I just messed with this one to make it 800, but I won’t be able to do that while I’m mobile.
Sacrificing live chicken to the Blogger gods…..

This is part of the code from when I posted the photo of the Crackberry the other day.When I mobile blog, the photos are going to show up small, usually. But when I am blogging photos from my computer’s hard drive, I resize them to 800×600 before I upload them. Still, blogger will usually post them small, initially – no matter if I check small, medium or large. I don’t really know why they give you the small, medium or large option if they are just going to post them tiny…. but you can fight back, dammit! :DSee the part in the line of code that says “/s400/” ? After I upload a photo to a post in Blogger, if the photo posted tiny, I edit the post – I switch to the Edit Html tab, find that S400 part, and change the 4 to an 8. That gets them back to the 800×600 that I intendedSee, I selected “large” and it still posted small! But I’m going to change the 4 to an 8 now, and see what happens –
Now that’s more like it! BTW, these containers of shells are sitting on top of my piano, and that’s a bust of Wagner. I don’t really care an awful lot for Wagner, but he was sitting on my grandfather’s piano my entire life, so when my grandfather passed on, I took old Richard home with me.I hope this explains the photo size thing in Blogger. I don’t really know a lot of Html, but that size thing was driving me batty, so I experimented and eventually figured it out.
Why A Blackberry Curve TITANIUM Arrived On My Doorstep This Morning
There. Now you know everything! This particular person is going to see to my activation personally; the right strings have to be pulled because of keeping the NY number – and she’s not on duty again until Saturday morning, so I won’t be up and running on the Crackberry until tomorrow sometime. Wish me luck!
