Sorry folks, I just had to! Right now in Port Charlotte Florida at 10:00 A.M.!
Gonna a be another hot one!
Some may wonder why, lately, I have been saying Port Charlotte Florida, well, you see, there is also a Port Charlotte off the shore of Scotland! But if you live in the U.K. you already knew that! Thanks to, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Charlotte,_Islay,for the below information, just another one of those interesting factoids.
Port Charlotte was named after Lady Charlotte Campbell Bury, the mother of its founder, William Frederick Campbell, and it was set up mainly to provide housing facilities for the Lochindaal Distillery workforce. Parts of the former distillery buildings are now in use as Youth Hostel and Wildlife Centre. Others are currently used by a garage nearby. The remaining warehouses are currently owned and used by Bruichladdich distillery to mature their Port Charlotte heavily peated spirit, named in tribute to the village and original distillery.
The village is located on the shores of Loch Indaal and is very picturesque with its white painted houses. It is home to the Museum of Islay Life which is located in a former Church building.
In October 1813, the American privateer The True Blooded Yankee[2][3] captured six merchant ships lying at Port Charlotte, casting them adrift and setting fire to three.[4]"
Today, there, their temperature is 7-10 degrees, must be celsius, although it could be Farhenheit, I doubt it, with humidity at 72% and sunny skies!
I find this fascinating, maybe I am boring you?
So sorry!
And I will be moving on...
An item on our local news was questioning the CDC recommendations for the schools being all opened here in Florida. And I questioned why we opened the schools with more than 5% of COVID cases daily, over 6% has been the closest we have come to the 5% recommendation.
So far the station has not gotten back to me with an answer!
Just in: The station answered on-air: Middle and high school children are recommended to learn remotely! We are nearly totally red for covid percentages and the CDC recommends NO in-person classes for our children in this state! There are schools open though.
Another question to the same TV station that actually reported that our governor, mini-me of the X-so-called president, wanted to put our state flags at half-mast due to the death of Rush Limbaugh. I said had because I do not know what the end result of that bad idea was. But I countered that horrible idea by asking if he would do that for the police officer that recently died?
Still waiting for that answer too.
Just in: The flag is only allowed to be at half-staff for federal and state employees, and has been decided to be for the police officer, not Rush Limbaugh!
Just in again: The Governor Mini-ME still demanding the flags be at half-staff for that horrible thing called Rush Limbaugh, totally ashamed of our governor!
Moving on again...
Build a better Florida is an actual organization that many in the country with like-mindedness should respond to... I am talking about all, you Democrats!
For this is a grassroots organization of 27K so far hoping to vote out our present governor and replace him with any one of the possible two Democrats that might be running!
The voting will be soon since the present governor's term is up in 2022! Not soon enough, if you ask me!
And so we must go for now...
Please be smart, as well as safe.
Have a very pleasant night.
Count those blessings, and we will too!
Next time, please be here, or be square, ya hear!
Aussie, say Good day!
I am Aussie, not being from Australia but American-made. I will comply anyway for the fun of it,... so I will say Good Day!
I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. And without a second thought, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,...some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd but,...as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though tipping the scales around seventy pounds, HA! A very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018.
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for Australian shepherds, only one out of five are born that way!
Hello, I am Bella, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. The middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards as well as difficulties...We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in from my previous family, stating, that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!
And please don't forget me, I am Chance a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020.
I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening?
Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!
Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
