wow...I am way behind reading everyone's posts! Latina? Have a SMOOTH MOVE!
I hope that everyone has a great weekend, sounds like (after the fog) SPRING is in the air finally, huh?
Here too.

And Spring BREAK is in full force as well (grrrr).....I say that because we are having bad bad BAD rip tides and the red flags are flying (possible double reds soon) which means STAY OUT OF THE GULF! But.....visitors do not always follow the rules, so there have been numerous rescues already, daily, if not hourly. No drownings, yet. The excuses?
"I'm here on Spring Break and spent a lot on money to be here and I WILL get into the water and YOU can't stop me!"

Here we go.........

They actually did finally pass a law this year that the lifeguards CAN notify police to ARREST people when the double red flags are flying. Our counties spend a LOT of taxpayer dollars saving people from themselves around here.

2 girls, 18 yrs old sat on a cheap Walmart "raft" sunbathing and drinking and floated out to sea yesterday. (duh) The current was strong and out they went, into major shark territory. 5 hours of rescue attempts and they finally got them in. Their main concern? They were pi$$ed off that the recue team made them ditch the raft as it couldn't be pulled safely behind them on the rescue jet skiis.

OK, done ranting now......time to get my head in the right frame of mind for a few months of this. =D

A BEAUTIFUL DAY WALKING DOGS! And I have TWO WHOLE DAYS OFF! I can't believe it.
So............I'll stop back next week, I really need to clean my house and get yard work done and hopefully either get into my kayak and/or go to the beach.

Ya'll have a wonderful weekend!
