I got my hair cut yesterday. It grows fast and thick in paradise. Humidity may be the cause. In Illinois it grew slowly in the winter. Here I can feel it growing, at least after happy hour.
The Captain’s hair line has ceded in Florida. If the temperature caused this phenomenon then by the time we get to Upstate NY his hair will rejoin the nation in recession.

A vulture waited too.

Andrew took a break from shooting pictures of dolphins to catch these iguanas in the act.
The oldest dolphin at the center is 50. Her name is Teresa. This is not her. She was resting.
We had a good visit with our niece Linda last week. She made me promise not to blab in the blog about her. “What happens in Marathon stays in Marathon”. However, I did not promise not to post unflattering photos of her.
We have a wireless temperature station on our boat. It’s the type promoted by The Weather Channel. You may have one in your home.
The instrument displays weather conditions using icons. For instance, ‘Rain Man’, a weather man dressed in a t-shirt and jeans with an umbrellas and clouds pictured overhead . I saw this icon a couple of times since we arrived in m Florida. Those of you in the North may see the ‘Below 32 Degrees Man’ dressed in an overcoat boots, knit cap and scarf with snowflakes falling around him. I’m hoping not to see him again.
Most days in paradise I awake to ‘Above 78 Degrees Man’ clad in a swim suit standing next to a beach chair with a bright sun shining overhead. Sunday 01.31.2010 was an exception. Something strange happened. It was 0600 and the station’s LCD flickered for a minute. ‘Unbelievably Hot and Humid Man’ was displayed. The man icon lost his bathing suit and an oxygen mask dropped from the sun. The weather and the icon have not changed.
According to the owner’s manual our station should get 15 different icons. ‘Unbelievably Hot and Humid man’ figure is not one of them. I debating whether to return the weather station or write a stern note to the manufacture.
