Coming home across the Atlantic the seas were not calm, no surprise at this time of year. We did the smart thing which is to find a place to sit low and midships which minimizes the ship's movement. There we read or messed with our computers. We each had 1k of free minutes of internet which is a lot of surfing time.
Today we drove most of the length of Florida and were reminded again why we're glad we don't live here. Yes, the winter weather is warm and the vegetation is mostly green, but the state is so flat and the highways so lined with billboards...yuck. Did we mention that Florida is overrun by refugees from New Jersey and New York who sound awful and often behave worse?
Most of the week we'll spend visiting friends in Jefferson Bass country: eastern Tennessee near Knoxville. If you like mysteries, you might want to check out his forensic anthropology novels based around the famous "body farm."
