Christmas in Venice, FL

Ah Christmas!  It brings out the best in all of us.

Roger says it was bigger a week ago.

I think he was using the season as an excuse to build a beacon for the mother ship.

We went fishing yesterday; nothing noteworthy among our catch.  A few of the locals have learned that fishermen are possible sources of handouts.


They would come right up to us if we stuck our hands in the water.  Possibly looking for a new version of a "handout".  Since we didn't have any edible bait and we were not willing to share our lunch, they eventually went back to working for a living.  They would swim tight circles in the 5' deep water and then pick off what ever they stirred up.

Going beach combing today.  Going to be a cool one, only forecasted to be low 70's.

Keep up the good work out there; we appreciate the support.

Stay warm.
