Went to the beach today......

Siesta Beach is a famous beach at Sarasota, Fl. It has white sand which is beautiful & soft to the feet, but the lifeguard said it is actually harder than diamonds. I got a cup full to bring back with me. The water temperature was nice today, about the same as the air temperature.
Not a whole lot of people out there, but maybe 100 or so. I wanted to show the lifeguard station & the flags blowing. The wind must have been blowing 15-25mph. There are 4 lifeguard shacks there & each is painted a different color to help people keep track of where they are. There is nothing worst than a child missing. I've seen that several times. Once a girl made a new friend & wandered away with her, here at Siesta 3-4 years ago when I was here. Last summer there was a girl missing for over an hour. I never knew if they found her.
It wasn't too cold for gals in bikinis or for guys to take their shirts off.
After leaving the beach, I saw this sign. It was hard to believe the amount of the fine set at such an odd figure.
Farther away from the beach I saw this city bus. Hybrid diesel-electric. It was really quiet zooming away from a stoplight & was hitting 40 mph. I had to wait till both of us caught a stoplight for me to hop out of my car to take this picture.

I had a low of 41 last night. It was beautiful here today. Supposed to be in the mid 70's this coming weekend.

Hello,

I’m sorry to leave this message in your comment box, but I did not see an email address for you. I found your site through RVthereyet.com. I read your recent posts and enjoyed them very much. Right now we have 'white stuff' in our front youard, but it is snow, not sand. I am jealous!
I’m writing to see if you would be interested in trading links with me. I have a website called The Camping Machine (www.thecampingmachine.com) where I describe the travels and adventures of my young family in our travel trailer, including photos and videos, along with some feel-good stories in my blog.

If you would be willing to ad my site to your links I will link back to your site. I had nearly 1,000 unique visitors last month and my readership is growing, but I would like to add more links and readers. If you are interested in this please send me an email at campingmachineguy@gmail.com. Thanks very much for considering this and keep up the great work on your site.

Thanks,
Camping Machine Guy
