¶See, AI is not all bad.
¶Sunset will occur tonight at 08:16 PM. My sunsetter script is set to take a photo at that time and at six deviation times.
¶We’re having breakfast at one of our favorite spots this morning — The Seahorse in Pass-a-Grille, St. Pete Beach. Great diner food. The tables have postcards, news clippings, and other items under a layer of epoxy. I noticed this gem, which was right in front of me, after reading an article about Gene Shalit getting hit by a car down the street…in 1994.
¶The Aquatarium was an aquarium and performance center that literally occupied the ground on which our condo stands now. I went there as a kid with my grandparents.
¶Gene Shalit was ok, btw. Broken leg.
¶Here’s the Aquatarium sticker with the Gene Shalit article for reference. And Renee’s hand and phone.
¶Pass-a-Grille – Laid back since way back.
¶I’m torn, honestly.
¶I love Florida. I always have. I’ve visited regularly since I was probably four. St. Pete Beach is a second home (literally and figuratively) for me. I love the beach and the ocean, the sunsets, the food and shopping. Even the baseball. I love the whole vibe.
¶But I hate the politics. The DeSantis culture war is nothing short of insanity. But, sadly, it seems to be sticking a bit, which makes me worry that the sarcasm of this shirt will soon be unnecessary.
¶For now, I’ll say it sarcastically, in the spirit of this shirt.
¶Florida sucks; stay away.
¶Shakespearean sex is still allowed in Florida schools, apparently.
