Wednesday, December 13 - Checking in from Lake Worth, just south of West Palm Beach. As the weather gets cool or rainy, we head south, which we did on Monday. This is one of our favorite parks, as it has a great bike trail of 10 miles, around Lake Osborne. There are all sorts of birds, so it's fun to ride along and see what the feathered guys are up to. Even some unusuals, like a flock of bright yellow Monk Parakeets yesterday, and a pair of Egyptian Geese.

Should mention that we spent a nice day at Cocoa Beach on Sunday, as we wanted to get a sense of where our County friends spend their winters. There's a good beachfront, which we enjoyed, doing a long walk to the pier, where we had a nice lunch. It's a built-up area, but not feeling jammed or overcrowded, so it's a good place to get away from winter.

We have a nice site here right on the lake, and are set up with no plan to move the rig for the week we'll be here. That lets us get everything out, including our propane fire pit, which we've enjoyed both nights to date. So it'll be a little routine of bike ride, 10 miles, rest and read for awhile in the sun, then out for another 10 mile circuit, followed by happy hour. No t.v., so we listen to music, play a game or two, do a crossword, more reading, and so another day ends. Wifi is not bad here, so we even do some internet stuff.

So how's that for a boring little version of what we're up to? There's a golf complex in the park, so we may wander over there, as there's a driving range and a putting chipping area which we can use. We stay tuned in to the news through NPR, which told us this morning that Roy Moore went down yesterday. Good to hear that, as he's a creep. And it lets the Dems pick up another seat in the Senate, which could be significant.

That's about it. Sorry we're so boring, but things will pick up next week when we visit our dear friend Joyce Brant in Palm City. We continue to send strong support vibes to Sandy Taylor, and hope she makes good progress soon.

All for now. Stay tuned. More later.
