close, if 150 miles is close. it's just a bit north of carrabelle (gotta love the name!) it's a swamp, not a town. it's what florida naturally is when you're not trying to sell it to a bunch of yankees wanting to retire where it doesn't snow. unfortunately, with a name like tate's hell, sales haven't been so good.

Went to school in Gainesville from '72 to '76. I liked to spend winter breaks exploring the Florida back country (avoiding tourists). Snakes are less active in the wintertime too. When I read up on Tate's Hell though, it still sounded too snaky and buggy and lot like, ..... hell.

Grew up in Florida. Brooksville, Dade City, and Lutz, when it was a store, gas station, the Brahma Restaurant and ten houses. Lived at the grove on County Line Road. Then off to Tampa. Damn, Florida, back then, was something special. We had the Hillsborough River, the Withlacoochie, dark with river oaks and moss; Thonotoasassa Springs and Crystal River, sweet and crystal clear from the limestone filtration off Georgia's runoff. Swiming with Manatees, oysters fresh from the beds off the back yard.

And we were seriously hemi, demi, semi, kinda Cubano, back in the 50s/60s. Supper was late, around 9:00, because that's how it was, and weekends it was maybe 11:00 at Las Novedades with friends; Fado, Brandy and Coronas for the men, maybe a tinto and a Rubosto for me. Manny Garcia was the Mayor and supported strongly by my Confederate ancestry. I fell deeply in love with Nancy Delapenna, and one of my best friends was (is) Gus Garces.

Used to be was, Florida was ok. Then came .... the Federal Govt.

But, coming home. Not to FL, but at least the Gulf Coast. Moving to Mobile AL. Close to P'cola, and sailable to Destin from the Rigolets. Just across the bridge from Mobile Yacht Club and just a hop, skip and a jump from Ponchartrain YC. Lookin forward to seeing ya'll in the flesh, as it were.

Wasn't it originally published as "Constantinople"?

Exactly. They have done several restores moving backwards among the backups. I believe I've said 'good morning' three times but lost every one of them

Happiness! While zapping I found out that there's a new channel showing the NFL. Watching Dallas-Chicago right now.

Dallas seems to be doing a good job of shooting themselves in the foot these days.

Ugh...

There went my first win of the season in my fantasy football league.

I'm 0-2 also.

I was wondering about something. For our foreign friends (for the sake of argument here, I'll include the Limeys too): do you guys get involved in any 'fantasy' sports-are they as huge there as they are here? Is there a fantasy cricket or rugby league?

Might be kind of interesting to take a look-see.

As a gamer I know what a 'fantasy league' is. I suspect though, that if you asked any random man on the street, you would get a blank stare.

(Third time I have answered this post as well

)

Speaking of fantasy leagues, I just won the Matrix Weekly Baseball league.

I won the football league a few years ago and my prize was WitP. This time, I think I'm going to request the very soon to be released Harpoon - Ultimate Edition.
