Amusing but Redundant (days and days)

Today I have lots of things on my mind ---- foremost of which probably none are interesting to anyone but me (but I'll talk about em anyway when I feel like it and try to keep you enthralled) and thankfully, the more I get familiarized with blog-land here in Tampa and surrounding areas the happier I feel that people like Tommy at Sticks and the author of Ybor City Stogie and more than several others (still working on a list of the awesome blogs and bloggers and co-writers though Tampa Blab seems to have that covered beautifully ....

anyHOOOO I feel comfortable with the fact that they're keeping it real and covering many things I thought I was the only one worried about --- so while I am pissed off at
hopefully soon-to-be-former Mayor Baker and his goon squads (men and women) and I'd LOVE to see a tent city in Tampa to see how our goon squads would act (and sorry to you who are doing an admirable job and not at all goonish) so I can go on selfishly covering my own personal drama and thoughts.
I know that there are those who wait with bated breath for my next word (when the whip comes down ..... ROFLMFAO!!) .. I just wanted to mention that BLAH on Hillary -- who knows the first f'ing thing about Obama? -- Why did Dick let me down? (just kidding on that one) .... and even though I have the usual amusing but highly redundant life-erole to cover I am carefully and meticulously researching how Pam and others are selling the waterfront out from under Tampa and FL and across the nation as they carefully explain to us how they are doing this to OPEN THE WATERFRONT for us.

mmmmkay, I might have slept at the wheel for awhile but I clearly remember being able to walk up to Ralston Beach (now buried behind an apartment complex and some private homes) being able to canoe off of almost any point on the Hillsborough River (see above) being able to pull off the road, with our dogs and go to the beach from here to Sand Key to Pass a Grille and now I have to go to the ATM in order to pay the parking fees if I want to cover a few beach parking lots for the day. Also in the see above category except (CONDOS NOT APARTMENTS) you can't even see the water anymore from the sand key I remember as being so wildly beautiful I didn't recognize it and never went back about ten years ago ... and thank you kindly to the developers and nodding officials who all shared in the profit at the expense of Florida's beauty and charm though this is old news.

WTF? I can't even SEE the gd water anymore... Thank you for opening it up and then shutting it quickly before I could get a last peek !

Opening up the waterfront for me, are ya?

I've never had any problem getting my toesies wet til this nasty plan went into action.

I drive by this ad on Westshore all the time about either westport or newport development (big ol snarky uggy billboard) it cries: OPENING THE WATERFRONT FOR YOU !!! That's the you that can afford the 46,000.00 boatslip to go with the 1.5 million dollar condo ... yes, another DICKominium.

Condos SUCK

DOCKOS SUCK.


Redundancy REALLY SUCKS.

And some people seriously must not have mirrors at home.

I love you all and it's been such a pretty day.

I only came here because I didn't want anyone to slip a cog wondering ....

Isn't it great?

Aren't we proud of our State?

(Speaking of mirrors at home --- check this out!!)
