Thanks. I used one of their programs on my iPod and it worked well. Bob

I grew up near Ft Lauderdale, back when it was a small town with lots of undeveloped land around it. I moved up by the Indian River to get away from the crowds, and when I found this area and the home at a price I could manage, I didn't think twice. It's growing too fast around here, but in the...

Not a chance. I live in a tropical paradise, in a house that's paid off, in a neighborhood I couldn't afford to buy into today. I sit on top of an ancient sand dune (over 30' tall, that's a mountain in Florida). To the east is a 2 mile wide lagoon then a thin barrier island and then the ocean...

Thanks for all your help. There is a lot to research here, and being that it's the middle of the tourist season, I'm an entertainer, and we make 3/4 of our yearly income in a few months, I'll dig at it in those moments when I can. As far as my Internet connection is concerned. I live in almost...

Thanks to both of you! Thanks. I've been delightfully busy, and haven't had the time to go out and take more pictures (at least pictures that I'm very happy with). The iPad has been mostly used for couch surfing and a couple of magazine subscriptions. A friend of mine is going to Prague and...

Do I need iTunes on both computers, or only on my iPad? And will it allow me to transfer pictures or just songs? I could live with iTunes on the iPad only. While I love Apple products, I hate the fact that they are like jealous wives and don't even want you talking to another brand of...

I want to transfer files from my Windows PC to my iPad Air. Some songs, pictures. etc. without using dropbox or an other Internet upload/download solution. My DSL-Lite connection is slow so that is not a good option. It takes over 10 minutes to upload one 3 minute 182k mp3. I read about and...

Thanks, I can't take credit for the sunrise or the clouds ;) and I don't often get up that early either. Myakka has a good rep, I haven't been there in many years, I tend to go to Corkscrew and the Everglades Ft Myers and south. Lately with the price of gas up, it's mostly Viera, Merritt...

Sunrise on the Indian River (actually a lagoon). Gotta go, busy month for bands.

No pictures. It's the busy season for bands here in Florida, so I have limited time off (spent learning new songs mostly). But I wanted to check in and say "Hi". Bob

Nice work. If I tried that, it would be italicized. Woodworking isn't one of my talents ;)

Thanks!

Glossy Ibis taken two weeks ago in the Viera Wetlands. The Viera Wetlands (Rich Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera) is actually the outfall of the wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater is treated until it is clean enough to drink, and then instead of flushing it out so sea like so many...

Johanna, you definitely still are the "Sun Queen". Thanks for posting them.

I entertained on cruise ships for 3 years and know St. Thomas well. Did the submarine there, and also at Grand Cayman island. Very different rides. After a few months we got too comfortable with St Thomas, and would go to Red Hook and take the ferry to at the time un-touristy St John. Nice...
