In the Blink of an Eye

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 14h

Yesterday, I posted about rainbows at Disney World, and how there seems to be one just about every time it rains nearby when I visit the theme park. Today's discussion is about the same rainbow as in the photo from yesterday's...

There's Always a Rainbow at Disney World

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Jul

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...

Sunrises and Saharan Dust

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Jul

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...

Patriotic Flyover at Disney World

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 11 Jul

I know we're a week removed from the 250th celebration of Independence Day here in the US, but I forgot to post about the military tribute flyover that the US Air Force did at Magic Kingdom and Epcot at Disney World. The 920th...

Are You a Morning Person?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 10 Jul

Some people are naturally early risers, and some people are naturally night owls. I'm a night owl by nature, but because of work requirements I am forced to be an early riser. But I'm not a morning person by any means. So, when I...

“It’s So Big!”

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 8 Jul

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...

Manatees

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 20 Jun

Have you ever seen a manatee in real life or up close at an aquarium? They are very interesting creatures, and very docile! I was fortunate growing up that I lived right on the beach in south Florida, and during the winters...

Well, not literal gold, but ice cream gold. The hottest new treat at Disney World right now is a cold delight only available at one ice cream stand in Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This...

When is Too Much a Bad Thing?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Jun

My birthday was last weekend, and all my friends, family and loved ones know how much I love steak. So, naturally, everybody wanted to treat me to steak dinners in celebration of another successful trip around the sun. And being...

Never Want This to Happen in Summer

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 23 May

If there is one thing you never want to happen in the summer (or approaching the summer months), is to have your air conditioning system in your house go down. But that's exactly what I thought happened to mine yesterday. When my...

Coyote in the Park

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 20 May

On Sunday, I went for an afternoon walk in one of our local city parks just down the street from my neighborhood. The park is about 75 acres in size, and is shaped like a T. There is a decent size creek running through the middle...

Country music superstar Morgan Wallen rolled into my hometown of Gainesville, Florida for two sold-out concerts at the University of Florida's football stadium, known affectionately as the "Swamp." I was able to attend the Friday...

When It Storms All Night...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 10 May

You take advantage of a rainy night by having a quiet, intimate date night at home! The little lady and I had planned on going out on Saturday night, but it was storming pretty badly last night, so instead we decided to stay in,...

Here in north Florida, we have been in an extreme drought for months, and the government is estimating that we are about 30 inches below normal in rainfall. Basically, a significant amount. We did get a good day of rain last...

My plans today were to get off early so I could grab a table at one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I live in a university town where the students look for every excuse to go out and drink,...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 26 Apr

North Florida and South Georgia have been in extreme drought for the past couple of months, with no relief in sight in the near future. New wildfires are popping up daily and stretching firefighting resources thin. It’s getting...

Mandatory Evacuations

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 21 Apr

I haven't been on myLot in the past few days, but for good reason. The US is in the middle of one of its worst droughts in history, with over 80% of the continental states in drought conditions. And here in Florida where I live,...

Fast Weekends

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (129318) • Gainesville, Florida 3 Apr

Thank goodness! I finally made it to Friday! But at what cost? Monday is literally in 30 minutes. Have you ever felt that way? Where your work week drags on for what feels like a month, and then you finally make it to the...
