Missed my anniversary here by this much...Punta Gorda is going forward with Mote Marine’s Aquarium ...A home inspection in this mess... Debby has left us many with nasty memories

As she makes landfall north in Steinhatchee, (pronounced Steenahatchee, not stine) in our big bend area of Florida and begins hopefully to fizzle!

Doesn’t seem that she knows that yet since flooding is all over this area and winds and rains are continuous but with longer lulls though…so I suppose she is diminishing a bit.

Yes, yesterday was my fourth anniversary of this wordy propagandized opinionated liberal lofty extremely honest rendition of what I think about everything, anyone and anything whether you want to know it or not… And for that I am very proud of my stick-to-it-ness, sadly I forgot to mention it last night or to do anything fanfare wise… oh well… tonight could be that night, but what?

I’ll get back to that later…
I was just as thrilled as punch, what does that mean, really? Any-who, of the news that our River City AKA Punta Gorda is committing to the plan with Mote Marine Laboratories to build an aquarium right there where our old Publix shopping center was prior to Hurricane Charley blowing it away!
The facts are they have 85K to put into the project, but I am more than sure it will be much more than that, wherever will the rest of the monies come from?
Methinks thy taxes will be increased, but I do not know for sure…
Just add that into the mix… of more expense for us commoners… too bad we won’t gain from the gains too?

I left the best to last, or not the best, won’t know till they get back to us or perhaps not… the home inspection paid for by our homeowners insurance company, Citizens, don’t let that name fool you…
They are the ones that came in after Hurricane Charley and took over the uninsurable destroyed homes after the wrath of that mighty interloper of terror and destruction and since no one wanted us, even the ones that we had been insured with… they became our only game in town.
Randomly they have decided to inspect their covered homes, and we apparently were in that lottery and they called today, i.e. after kindly sending a form letter days ahead that they would be calling… but he said that he would be here in an hour and he was a bit late… and stayed about an hour… and so we have no idea what will be our fate, stay the same premium, lower, or an increase…all in his hands…
Nothing we can say or do.
Fortunately, Hubby was able to mow before and trim due to a long lull in the weather and he also picked up some flora that fell too… it really looked nice again.
All we would like is another decrease which we had of 31% from when the state was doing the wind discounts; also for free… that’s all, don’t we all need a break, sometimes?

On that note of note allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all you blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?


PS I just thought of how to celebrate my 4th anniversary here with a toast with Hubby with a nice glass of wine! Not that big a deal but neither is this milestone; maybe in twenty years or so…, hmm?
