I’m going to blame the Olympic coverage for today’s lack of anything interesting to write about tonight. I got a slow start to the day, I turned the TV on at 7:30, but didn’t get out of bed for another hour plus. How much TV I watched and how much snoozing I did remains a mystery.

Over my breakfast coffee I got hooked on the NBC Olympic coverage. Some of the interviews they were showing caught my attention. As I write this blog entry I can’t remember who was being interview or what they were talking about. All of the coverage seems to blend together. The significant thing to me is that all of the competitors are so dedicated and driven. Even the athletes that don’t stand a chance in a million are committed to their sport.

At mid day I made an attempt to get out and do something. I set out with a general goal of checking out the beach area of St. Augustine Beach. Traffic and a general lack of interest conspired against success. I ended up driving in a big circle, 25 miles or so, and returning to my RV home for lunch and more TV.

Later in the afternoon, I tried to get interested in visiting the World Golf Hall of Fame. Similar to my earlier excursion, I missed the turn, ended up in first day of school traffic and abandon the idea. The trip wasn’t a total loss, I picked up some groceries at the local Publix supermarket.

The TV weather people say that today’s weather is back to summer normal. That translates into sunny in the morning with highs around 90 followed by a chance of showers in the afternoon. Around 4:30 there were reports of thunderstorms heading in the direction of the campground. They were wrong. The storms passed by to the west. Tomorrow and Friday have similar forecasts.
