Monday February 6th 2017

Today was a recovery day from yesterday’s emotional roller coaster of a Super Bowl game. Watching the Patriots dig their own grave, then fill it in and build a monument for football posterity was gut wrenching. I got caught up in all of today’s Monday morning quarterbacking. I listened or watched more sports shows today than I would in a normal month. All of the shows were pretty much in agreement that the Falcons chocked, but only a team as good as the Patriots would have been able to take advantage of the chock.

Today’s Bird Picture

It was a bright sunny day in the mid 70s. I got a number of errands accomplished and a little grocery shopping. The old cliquish about grocery shopping while hungry held true. With my stomach growling in the grocery store, I bought some rib eye steaks and potatoes for baking. The steak grilled up nicely for an early supper and I have another one for a second meal in the next couple of days.

The afternoon moon.

Walking around the campground I’m staying in is one of my sources of exercise. I always see interesting or curious things. At this park two things stood out. The first is the mix of residents and the other is the decorations. There seem to be four types of residents in this park. There are people who live hear and work in the area. This campground may be their permanent homes. The second group is the long term weekend residents. They probably live in Jacksonville or some other city area and use this for weekends and vacations. The third group is the traditional Snowbirds and the fourth short term travelers like me. From my limited observation, I don’t thing there is a lot of interaction between groups.

Valentines Decoration in the RV Park

The other observation during my walk was the decorations for Valentines Day. I am used to seeing Christmas decorations in December and have begun to accept Halloween decorations in October, but the idea of extensive decorating for Valentines Day is new to me. There are many deep red lights hung from awnings and red rope lighting on the ground. The site across from me has a heart made of lights hanging out front. I’m not sure if I’m ready for this. If I ever see a blow up Cupid, I’ll know it’s gone too far.
