On Rex&#8217;s scale, is WAY up there, but I&#8217;m not going to mention it, nope not one word about how hot and humid it is. Ooooops, forget you just read my comments that it&#8217;s WAY to HOT &amp; HUMID for me.<\/p>\n<p>We haven&#8217;t seen the big gator in the lake any more, but I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s still lurking around in the lake. To me he looked to be about 8-9 ft, Mary thought he was bigger than that.<\/p>\n<p>So looking forward to not sweating 25 hours a day. UGH!!!!!! Sweatshirt weather, not coats, where are you, I miss you!!!<\/p>\n<p>So complaints, done with for a few minutes at least, we moved all of 57 miles today fortunately it didn&#8217;t hit 9,000,000 degrees until we arrived and now clouds are moving in with a chance of rain.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, September 18, eggs frying on the sidewalk hot.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday we moved to the town of Florida City, just south and west of Miami, in to a BIG mobile home park where they park campers in the few empty spots they have. Not overly impressed but beggars can&#8217;t be choosey and from looking around this park is as good or better than the others in the area. Well, at least the skeeters aren&#8217;t as bad here as Midway Campground where we just left were.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, one of my goals since coming to Florida needs to be, make it out of Florida without getting crunched, truthfully, the likely hood of that seems kinda slim. I&#8217;ll just call 1\/2 or more of the drivers down here overly aggressive and I&#8217;m not sure that they know that the numbers on the speed limit signs mean.<\/p>\n<p>On our way to Key Largo this morning, 1 lane road with concrete barriers on each side, the posted speed limit was 55, we were running 68, with traffic, and I was worried that some fool(s) were going to try to pass on the 1\/2 lane on either side of us, they are nuts down here. Sometimes I think they think the Jeep is a pinball they are suppose to hit.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we drove down to Key Largo this morning, was not impressed and will leave it at that. Just for kicks this morning before we left I looked on Zillow.com, no worries with us moving down there, most of the prices had a M(million) behind them, one was 23M.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to save a drive to Key West for another trip south, Key Largo, as usual, was a spur of the moment drive.<\/p>\n<p>Monday September 20, so we&#8217;re setting at a stoplight, turning lane on the left and I&#8217;m in the go straight or right turn lane, when this guy passes us on the right, driving in the grass to turn right. I hope we make it out of Florida alive.<\/p>\n<p>The End<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11627 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11666'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6697-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11667'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6698-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11668'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6699-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11669'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6701-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11670'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6702-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11671'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6703-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11672'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6704-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11673'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6705-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11674'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6711-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11675'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6715-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, September 17, 2021 &#8211; Mary said I shouldn&#8217;t mention the heat again so I&#8217;m not going to mention the temperature or anything about the heat and humidity.
