I guess the fairy-tale story of Celebration is different than the one I like to remember...https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=955&q=celebration+florida&oq=celebratio&gs_l=img.1.2.0l10.1539.3790.0.6149.10.8.0.2.2.0.109.582.7j1.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..0.10.593.hWAfXA_b0u0

we watched the Disney show every week on b&w tv. I vaguely remember seeing some of the shows with Walt sitting there with a cig explaining how WDW would come to be. It's the town the Mouse built. Not even he could have imagined the explosion. I do remember when it was all citrus groves. 4 wasn't there.

I remember Orlando before Disney. Totally different place. I don't think even Walt could have envisioned the insanity that it has become.
Anyone remember Six Gun Territory? That was THE theme park in the Ocala area. Western themed, naturally, and every day at noon there would be a shoot out in the street. Ahhhhh, memories. Disney has slowly but surely killed every other theme park in the state. There was one just north of Miami that we used to go to in high school. I think it was called Pirate World or something like that.
34 here when I got up. Don't think it hit the low of 25 that they predicted.

OK, so I had to google it. The Crow's Nest!! OMG,,, that was a traumatic experience which contributed to my fear of heights. A gang of us went up in it,, and they started rocking it,,, and I freaked and started screaming. They wouldn't let us down until I stopped screaming, and the gang wouldn't stop rocking it! The place hit bankruptcy 2 years after Disney opened.

I don't remember that place, there was some kind of Sea World place in Miami? And seeing the Orange Bowl parade on Biscayne Blvd. The hotel where Jackie Gleason, Arthur Godfrey hung out?
Yeah, WDW really changed the way this state is. Not 100% sure all for the better.
We had friends in Ft Lauderdale, ex Cincinnatians. The FIL was a diehard Reds fan, used to listen to the games on radio. Blew my sandals off, sooooo far away!! The station, WLW, had 700,000 watts, broadcast all over the south.

That British editor/reporter, just doesn't get Disney. One murder in 14 years and he has to write such a piece and one suicide. With the foreclosures, he doesn't put it in perspective of state and national statistics. Very sloppy and biased reporting.

have found coloring to be relaxing. Who knew

The Seaquarium was still there, last I checked,,, but it is not the popular place it used to be. The Parrot Jungle and Monkey Jungle had issues after Hurricane Andrew,, I think Parrot Jungle relocated, not sure about Monkey Jungle. Marched in the Orange Bowl parade when in high school band.
**From the sun and fun capital of the world, Miami Beach, we bring you the Jackie Gleason show."
Patty, Coloring is fun and relaxing!! Who knew? But there are lots of adult coloring books out there now.

I bought a coloring book too! It was fun, sort of made my hand hurt. Amazon has a dog coloring book I'm thinking of getting. Barnes and Nobel had a huge selection, no dogs.

Hi, caught up I think.
Welcome Split, jazzyjune
Susie, left in 1992. But feel like I'm back into it tonite. I'm across from the space center. Not used to this much cold winter. Usually a few days. This has been weeks. UGH. Had Cytoxan and taxotere only once ---almost killed me. said no more if they didn't know why.
LOverly and Patty, Dinner stuff progressing. Not going to do a trial run on the Bouillebaisse. Too expensive. So far, I have mussels, clams, grouper, scallop, shrimp, and clams. All suppose to be fresh, but didn't want to clean the shell stiff. Mussels beards and grit. Afraid I wouldn't do it well enough. Saffron came the other day. Found a store that carries Fennel bulb. I think it must be in the Leek family. Need to get Pernod. Scheduled DI for another day .I need some spring cleaning done. I'm so spectacularly lazy these days. Not sure what that's about. I will use any excuse not to do manual labor.
TV broke. No TV, it's quiet. Haven't decided whether to get a new big one or use the one Steve got me. I made the mistake of saying "That's it nothing else can break". Then it died.
Chevy found you another little coca-cola glass. Likely won't get it mailed till after the party. It's cute. It's about 4 inches. Could be used as juice glass, sink glass, or bathroom sink glass.
SC60 hey
Jwoo, what's you color scheme? I have a black and white urn about 8 inches high if it fits your color scheme and you want it. Not marked, but very nice.

I'm enjoy some Jazz, but am not real familiar with a lot of it. My log-in name was kind of a spur of the moment thing that just came into my head one day.
Do you have any suggestions of what to listen to?
