Today brought a present from the Pacific Northwest and our dear myLotter @TheSojourner . She sent me a mug, coaster, and keychain, all Navy themed. Thanks, dear! After lunch I walked to the grocery near the restaurant and got a few things. I picked up four huge russet potatoes, which will be nuked and enjoyed in further dinners. I also picked up some chipotle sauce to put on the potatoes. I’m not having a potato for dinner tonight — just turkey sandwiches — but I am trying out the sauce. It’s spicy!! I think it’ll go great on the potatoes. I’m watching the sun set over Clearwater Beach, Florida now from the Frenchy’s webcam, located right on the beach. There are quite a few people on the beach tonight, but it’s nothing like it was yesterday. It was packed. On my recent trip I discovered the memory foam “bed” in my car had Alzheimer’s so I ditched it. I got a cot. It fits perfectly in the back of the car. Additionally, there’s plenty of room under the cot for storage! It’s way too hot to camp anywhere that’s not air conditioned right now, but we’ll see what happens in September. Y’all have a great evening! Thanks again, Sojourner!

That was very nice of Coral to send you some goodies. We forgot to check out Florida this weekend. Have a great day.

It was packed on all the beaches I looked at. I have beaches from Destin to Key West bookmarked on You Tube to watch. It’s actually good today, because we have an excessive heat warning so I can just sit in my air-conditioned living room and enjoy the beach!!

@LindaOHio — I hope they get better bandwidth for that Soithernmost Point camera. It’s been shoddy the first few days. For total relaxation try the camera at the Hemingway House.

@JimBo452020 — likewise. I plopped down on one of those hospital emergency room beds and starte “ow!”-ing. The doctor asked what was wrong. I replied, “Spondylolisthesis.”

Are you getting some of the heat wave covering Kansas and Missouri this week? We have extreme heat and humidity warnings until Friday at midnight. (The heat index is predicted to reach over 110F here.) Stay in the A/C and find interesting things to do inside for now.

Oh, yes. As I mentioned, I walked over and got some potatoes. They were baked by the time I got back to my car.

@DaddyEvil — I opened the front door this morning and heat came charging through the double-pane glass, so I closed it and said, “Nope, not today.” Way too hot.

It was indeed. She’s such a sweetie. (So’s Cooper, and I’m sure he helped her wrap it. )

We have been talking about going camping. But it's far too hot here as well.

It’s in the car, waiting for 60-degree nights to return.

A big potato with a couple of ounces of chicken or turkey on it is very filling!

That cot seems a great idea. It's too cold to camp here - at least it is for us oldies.

I was afraid it wouldn’t fit. It’s a perfect fit. I’m looking forward to testing it!
