Over the past week or so, Florida and parts of the Caribbean islands have been blanketed by Saharan dust that has blown here across the Atlantic Ocean all the way from Africa. Don't worry, the dust isn't so thick that it's...

Jeff Moffitt @LadyDuck Most of our pollen comes from the abundance of pine trees and oak trees in our area. And sadly, they release their pollen at different times of the year, which makes our pollen season (and allergy season) longer than normal.

I've said for years that Disney somehow can control the weather. For example, every time I go to Disney there always seems to be a full moon in the sky overhead at night. Always. I'm not sure how they do it, but I'm not...

Jeff Moffitt @JudyEv I agree! We should set up a business to charge gullible tourists an admission to see the rainbows we create!

Almost all beaches are crowded this summer. I went to the beach at least once a week to enjoy the season. Every time I went, I saw only a few people in the water for a short time. The rest of the people enjoyed themselves soaking...

Jeff Moffitt @Ayu2026 I get what you are saying. I am a Christian, but I keep an open mind about other faiths. I don't hate anybody because of their religious beliefs. Like you said, we are all human.

My husband is in several photography online sites. One has a challenge each week and this week’s is ‘wabi-sabi’. We’d never heard of the word. Have you? Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy based on three principal ideas. These are...

Jeff Moffitt @JudyEv A lot of that here too. I wonder what makes people think that they don't have to work hard for a living, and that it's someone else's responsibility to provide for them? Nobody is just going to hand you money for doing nothing.

We spent a night at Vince’s brother’s place. This is the older brother that lives in Bunbury. A few years ago, he and his wife lost a 50+ daughter in Luxor to cancer and they have both aged a lot. It was good to see them and we...

Those were the words out of my son’s mouth when he called me as he was boarding his cruise ship in Ft. Lauderdale. Being that this was his first cruise ever, he had no perspective on just how big modern cruise ships are. I asked...

Jeff Moffitt @LadyDuck You are lucky you live in an area where the pollen is not bad. I love the area I live in BECAUSE of all the forests, trees, plants, flowers and whatnot. But it is also all that nature that causes all the pollen that I hate. So it's a double-edged...

Jeff Moffitt @TheHorse Even though Florida is mostly flat, we do have some hills and inclines, especially in central and north Florida. Back when I had my Jeep, the road I had to take to and from work every day had a very steep incline at one point along the path. And, of...

Jeff Moffitt @MarieCoyle Your dad was right on the money to teach you the basics of auto mechanics. And it sounds like he really knew an engine, if he could tell a problem just by listening. I always laugh that nowadays, when you open the hood of a car, you can't even SEE...

Jeff Moffitt I wouldn't leave a theme park just because it's raining. I would just embrace it and keep having fun. I'd also wave to everybody else who chose to leave because of the rain. "Yes, go home people!" lol

Jeff Moffitt @TheHorse I use full synthetic oil in my truck, and it is good for 5,000 miles. I still change my oil every 3,000 miles. Sometimes I will go over, but I know I have that 1,000 mile cushion before I hit the 5,000 miles. I'm pretty thorough about the oil changes...
