Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • 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 (128640) • 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...

When It Storms All Night...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • 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...

Mandatory Evacuations

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • 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 (128640) • 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...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • Gainesville, Florida 3 Mar

There was a lot of chatter at work yesterday regarding an employee who supposedly fell off a ladder and was hurt. In our minds we (all the other employees) imagined a worst-case scenario of this employee falling off our 12-foot...

Enjoyed an Art Festival Today

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • Gainesville, Florida 28 Feb

We had a very popular, but small local art festival scheduled today just a hop, skip and a jump down the road from where I live. It's one of my favorite art festivals in our community, not only because of its proximity to my home,...

Record Highs to Record Lows

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • Gainesville, Florida 20 Feb

I don't know if global warming or climate change is to blame, or if it's just by virtue of where I live geographically, but our weather right now is all over the place, as far as temperatures are concerned. Today and tomorrow,...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128640) • Gainesville, Florida 24 Jan

Winter storm "Fern" is currently decimating a good portion of the United States, and many American myLotters are caught in the middle of it. Luckily, Florida (where I live) is having nothing to do with this storm, and rightfully...
