I have also been receiving some negative input from Miss Jo and the Blonde about my drawbridge plans but I am crafty and will prevail. If I pout and moan long enough I might be able to barter my bridge idea into an outback bike repair shed so I can reclaim my living room area and turn it into a whittlin' and drinkin' and spittin' man cave.

The Florida East Coast Railroad runs about a quarter mile from the Park and every year at least one body is found on the tracks.<br /><br />I once met a guy who fell asleep on the tracks and the train ran over his head. He survived (!) but he might as well not have for the shape he (and his head) were in after that.<br /><br />tjTim Joe Comstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351911607475089105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267224089554889479.post-71781523474097231922012-05-09T04:20:41.992-07:002012-05-09T04:20:41.992-07:00Remember, you can't buy that kind of entertain...Remember, you can't buy that kind of entertainment TJ. The local crackheads around the rail yard are always good for a show come Friday and Saturday nights. Unlike you however, I tend to keep to the grandstands and let the folks with sidearms and nightsticks run the merry chase until they tree the varmints.

Or maybe it's just my memories of how things were amongst the deseparate crack-heads that are to blame. But I have a policy not to risk my a$$ on people who don't even care about themselves (there unfortunately are exceptions to that policy).<br /><br />Brings to mind my our second apartment, on the second floor in a slowly decaying old house in a declining neighborhood. Turned out that it was better to be on the second floor because the bullet holes usually showed up on the lower floors. I gotta say that the drama of those petty thugs and shady ladies got really old really fast.<br /><br />Best to you down there. Hope the heat and humidity are staying within tolerance. Don't forget to take time to ride yer bike.<br /><br />Steve ZSteve Z (swampboy62)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03594045912519415678noreply@blogger.com
