With the flow of oil shut off (here’s hoping it remains so), there is hope the beach at St. Pete Beach pictured last week will remain as pristine as it is today. In any event, you don’t need an excuse to visit — just go. It will be well worth your while. The view of the historic Don Cesar Hotel is an added perk. Patrick Supple (thanks for the note and the kind words — I hope to hear from you again soon!) got it as did Robin Greenwood (really enjoyed the tour of Elmira’s — all of you are doing great work out there) and Bill and Margie Galbreath (I am continually impressed with your knowledge of great Florida places — and always enjoy hearing from you. Thanks for the note and the kind words). Except for a two-year vacation (of sorts) to the Midwest, I’ve lived in Florida since 1994. In all of the years since, and all of the wonderful and bizarre things that have happened here, just a glimpse of an island with palm trees is still enough to fire up my imagination. I love islands with palm trees and, fortunately, we have more than a few in our own backyard. As is this one, shown on a postcard-perfect summer day. Where are we this week?

. Or send a letter to 210 Woodland Estates Blvd., Ruskin, FL, 33570. Sail on up and maybe I’ll be there to take your lines. See you on the beach!
