The Old Florida Cafe - Micanopy, Florida

A Florida Gator ...

...found this guy in Gainesville, the home of the University of Florida (the Gators). For some reason I don't think this photo will be very popular in Tallahassee, the home of Florida State University (the Seminoles).

Williston, Florida - Home to Foolish Pleasure

With the running of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow afternoon, it seemed appropriate to post this photo congratulating Williston's Foolish Pleasure for his win back in 1975.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

This sign, referencing an aeronautical university caught my attention. I'd never heard of Embry-Riddle and knew nothing about it but was immediately suspicious. My suspicions were unfounded. It is a fully-accredited institution with residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona! It also has 170 other campuses of which this is one. The original Embry-Riddle was the forebearer of American Airlines.

It's a fascinating story and you can read all about it here.

Let their be light!

Use the pet walk?

I obeyed the sign. I stepped in lots of doggie doo. I was not a happy camper! Sheesh!

Watch out for this sign if you're ever in Altamonte Springs! Do not obey! :-)

Millie's a momma! (Updated)

This is Millie (top photo). She lives in south Florida. She gave birth this morning to a little "goatee" who looks exactly like her! I don't know the name of the newborn.

A photo of the new "goatee" just came in. Rather cute, I think.
