Views mine.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Well those were some interesting fireworks tonight in Fernandina Beach. A gangway in the harbor loaded with people collapsed mid-display. People screamed and ran b/c this is America and they thought there was a gunman. Thankfully there was no shooter and only minor injuries from the collapse.

Two hours of whacking the felt of a ball in the Florida sun will definitely prepare you for what comes next. 🎾 🔥

The sun is shining. The water’s warm. And the shark teeth are plentiful. It’s a good morning on Amelia Island.

What you see here is the weather forecast for metro JAX for the next few days. Folks from up north will recognize the colors on that precipitation map - that is snow and ice - in FLORIDA.
Let’s talk about climate change when you get a chance…weather is not climate, but snow in FL is abnormal.
